First of all, I am grateful to Dr Michael Ngoasong, Professor Roger Spear and Dr Silvia Sacchetti for their input and guidance throughout the research process. It has been a privilege for me to be working under their distinguished, meticulous and persevering PhD supervision. I also thank Michael Murphy for his proofreading supervision and support. This thesis could not have been completed without the considerable cooperation and support of the indigenous community-based organisations and their leaders that agreed to take part in this research. I thank them for sharing their stories and views which enabled me to undertake this study. Further, I thank all my friends at the Open University and in London for their friendship and support, and for making me feel that I am not completely alone in this journey. My special appreciation goes to my Colombian family for their encouragement; were it not for them, I would not have reached this point in my education. I would also like to offer my in-depth appreciation to my in laws for their unconditional love and support. Last but not least, this thesis would not have been possible without the constant understanding and support – through the many hours when I have been absent or preoccupied with completing this work – of my dear partner, Sara Calvo, and my beloved son, Yaku, who has helped me to manage my time more effectively and enjoy life. Thank you! Abstract There has been a recent increase in the number of publications about the indigenous philosophy of Buen Vivir (BV) as an alternative paradigm to mainstream development theory. However, there is a dearth of theoretically grounded empirical research that interrogates the impact of BV as an alternative development model within the social and solidarity economy (SSE) in Latin America. Therefore, this thesis aims to address this research gap by investigating the development of indigenous community based organisations (ICOs) that are located within the SSE in Colombia, examining to what extent their experiences embody key tenets of the BV model. By drawing upon insights from post-development (BV) and postcolonial theories (Bhabha’s mimicry and hybridity), this thesis develops and critically explores a multi-level model for understanding the development of ICOs in Colombia, considering the micro, meso and macro levels. Using participatory video research, this research draws upon evidence from a multiple case study research with five indigenous communities (Curripaco, Puinave, Yanacona, Misak and Wayuu) in three geographic regions (the Amazons, Cauca and Guajira). The thesis uses the following types of data collection: secondary data sources, video focus groups, video semi-structured interviews, observations and field notes. The analysis of the multiple case study using Nvivo, discovers that ICOs operate as hybrid organisations that are influenced by their indigenous cultural practices, as well as the dominant Western forms legitimised by the SSE norms (mimicry). Overall, this thesis reveals that the ICOs’ experiences are consistent with the values and pillars that embody the key tenets of the BV model. The findings demonstrate that the current policy discourse provides little scope for engagement for ICOs in Colombia, even though evidence shows their contribution to the national economy. In doing so, this thesis offers an opportunity for policy makers to rethink and re-evaluate the existing policies in relation to indigenous communities and the SSE sector, to provide a pathway consistent with some elements of the BV model to contribute to the national development plan. Key words: Buen Vivir; indigenous community-based organisations; social and solidarity economy; post-development; post-colonial; hybridisation.

  • Beyond Internationalization: Lessons from Post-Development
    Peer-Reviewed Article © Journal of International Students Volume 11, Issue S1 (2021), pp. 133-151 ISSN: 2162-3104 (Print), 2166-3750 (Online) ojed.org/jis Beyond Internationalization: Lessons from Post-Development Kumari Beck Simon Fraser University, Canada ABSTRACT Despite the critiques generated in critical internationalization studies in response to the neoliberal and neocolonial orientation of internationalization of higher education, the direction of internationalization appears to be unchanged. This paper takes up the challenge of imagining internationalization otherwise by drawing from the field of post-development (PD) studies, which, it is argued, has parallels to the realities and debates on internationalization. An overview of the debates in PD and why they offer important ideas for critical internationalization studies will be followed by a discussion of how key analyses and arguments in PD can be applied to internationalization. This argument leads to the question of whether it is time to recognize an emerging post-internationalization movement, acknowledging that internationalization as we know it is in decline. The paper concludes with an exploration of a new commons in internationalization, refocusing on educational principles and values, while recognizing the complexities and contradictions inherent in seeking international education that is “in between, with and from multiple worlds.” Keywords: internationalization of higher education, international education, post- development, critical internationalization studies, new commons INTRODUCTION The last three decades have seen a rapid growth in the internationalization of higher education, which needs to be understood alongside the conditions of globalization and the consequential market orientation of higher education (Darder, 2016) and colonial contexts of history, culture and power (Dolby & Rahman, 2008).

  • Colombian Nationalism: Four Musical Perspectives for Violin and Piano
    COLOMBIAN NATIONALISM: FOUR MUSICAL PERSPECTIVES FOR VIOLIN AND PIANO by Ana Maria Trujillo A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Major: Music The University of Memphis December 2011 ABSTRACT Trujillo, Ana Maria. DMA. The University of Memphis. December/2011. Colombian Nationalism: Four Musical Perspectives for Violin and Piano. Dr. Kenneth Kreitner, Ph.D. This paper explores the Colombian nationalistic musical movement, which was born as a search for identity that various composers undertook in order to discover the roots of Colombian musical folklore. These roots, while distinct, have all played a significant part in the formation of the culture that gave birth to a unified national identity. It is this identity that acts as a recurring motif throughout the works of the four composers mentioned in this study, each representing a different stage of the nationalistic movement according to their respective generations, backgrounds, and ideological postures. The idea of universalism and the integration of a national identity into the sphere of the Western musical tradition is a dilemma that has caused internal struggle and strife among generations of musicians and artists in general. This paper strives to open a new path in the research of nationalistic music for violin and piano through the analyses of four works written for this type of chamber ensemble: the third movement of the Sonata Op. 7 No.1 for Violin and Piano by Guillermo Uribe Holguín; Lopeziana, piece for Violin and Piano by Adolfo Mejía; Sonata for Violin and Piano No.3 by Luís Antonio Escobar; and Dúo rapsódico con aires de currulao for Violin and Piano by Andrés Posada.

Indigenous populations inhabited most of these regions, and by the late-nineteenth century the Latin American states started to target them in an effort to secure national borders and consolidate territorial control. With only a few exceptions, states turned to international Christian missionary orders to help them in the “civilization” of these indigenous areas, and by the first decade of the twentieth century the missionaries were active in many of them, from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego.

As world leaders have negotiated adaptation strategies over the past couple of decades, a certain discourse has emerged that privileges Western conceptions of environmental degradation. I argue that this framing of climate change inhibits the successful implementation of adaptation strategies. This thesis focuses on a case study of the Maldives, an island nation deemed one of the most vulnerable locations to the impacts of rising sea levels.

  • The Waves of Post-Development Theory and a Consideration of the Philippines
    The Waves of Post-Development Theory and a Consideration of the Philippines Joseph Ahorro University of Alberta Introduction In the 1990s, post-development theorists argued against modernization and development for its reductionism, universalism, and ethnocentricity. Tracing the theoretical debates, I will identify two waves of post-development theory. While the first wave of post-development theory has been criticized for its rejection of development without qualification, there has been a second wave that responded and subsequently deepened the concept of post-development. Although there has been great strides to make post-development more inclusive and reflexive, the discipline has largely been rooted in experiences from Latin America, Africa, and India. What has been under-researched in the post-development literature is a consideration for countries in South East Asia. Acknowledging the diversity of culture, language, religion, heritage, and colonial experience, this paper will reflect on how the Philippine experience can make a contribution to post-development theory. In this paper, I will address three questions. First, what led to the second wave of post-development theory? Second, why consider post- development theory from a Philippine perspective? Third, what contributions can an analysis of a Philippine perspective offer towards the furthering of post-development theory? I will argue that categorizing post-development into two waves suggests that the theory has not stalled as a consequence of its initial shortfalls, but does in fact have room for growth as it will be demonstrated in the Philippine case. This paper will proceed in five steps. First, there will be a review of what I classify as the first wave of post-development theory.

  • 'Missionaries' in Bangladesh
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ResearchArchive at Victoria University of Wellington Exploring the mission-development nexus through stories from Christian ‘missionaries’ in Bangladesh Anna Thompson 2012 A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Development Studies School of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences Victoria University of Wellington Abstract Over the past decade, development research and policy has increasingly paid attention to religion and belief. Donors and researchers have progressively engaged with faith-based organisations and recipients. However, Christian mission and ‗missionaries‘ remain underexplored aspects within religion and development discourses. In response, this research explores stories from eleven Christian ‗missionaries‘ in Bangladesh. Firstly, I assess how the changing non-governmental sector in Bangladesh influenced participants‘ activities. Secondly, I contextualise their stories within religion and development discourses with reference to analyses of development workers. Finally, I reflect on the significance of spirituality in participants‘ lives. I also describe how spirituality played a role in my research. I frame this research within feminist and poststructuralist ways of knowing. Methodologically, I conducted semi-structured interviews and ‗hung out‘ with participants. I ‗wrote myself-in‘ to this research to highlight how the process intersected with my own subject positions. I found that participants‘ engaged with development in similar ways to development workers as analysed by others. They reproduced discourses of modernisation, expertise, altruism, and the ‗third world‘. They additionally responded to Christian discourses, such as ‗calling‘. Participants‘ activities and subjectivities were shaped by these intersecting discourses, and were also shaped by the historic and current setting of Bangladesh.

  • Exploring Ecological Swaraj Or Radical Ecological Democracy : a Path Towards Postdevelopment in India
    International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS), 2021, Vol 8, No.1,21-35. 21 Available online at http://www.ijims.com ISSN - (Print): 2519 – 7908 ; ISSN - (Electronic): 2348 – 0343 IF:4.335; Index Copernicus (IC) Value: 60.59; Peer-reviewed Journal Exploring Ecological Swaraj or Radical Ecological Democracy : A Path Towards Postdevelopment In India Akash Jash M.A. in Sociology, Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India Abstract The new phase of Postdevelopment theory is the phase of both deconstruction and reconstruction. Besides being a critique, it delves into the search for alternatives to development. Because of the claustrophobia of Development and recently neoliberalism and globalization, changes started to occur in almost all the axes of life (social, cultural, political, economic, ecological and scientific and spiritual). Many age-old concepts like Buen Vivir in Latin America, Ubuntu in Africa, Swaraj in India are getting envisioned in a new way through various social movements and alternative ways of living around the whole world, especially in the global South. Various 'Transition Discourses'(TD) are coming into existence which not only resist the arrogant intervention of development, but also resurface the other forms of life in this world. "A world of The third", non- capitalist in nature, is emerging which was hidden for so many years under the dominance of the Development Age. And these all are making the alternatives possible. A new experimental journey of postdevelopment is on its way to create a 'Pluriverse' - " a world where many worlds can be embraced". In the context of India, the purpose 'Development' serves is double.

Committee Chairman Accepted: ~f~ ... 1-80411 PREFACE La legende traduit les sentiments reels des peuples. Gustav Le Bon For centuries the golden treasure of the pre-conquest inhabitants of Colombia, South America, has captured man's imagination. The various legends of El DQrado led to the exploration of half of the South Am erican continent and the discovery of the Amazon River. It also lured Sir Walter Raleigh on the ill-fated expedition that finally cost him his head in the tower of London. These legends have inspired Colombia's men of letters and interested such foreign writers as Milton, Voltaire, and Andres/ Bello. Although it is true that the imaginative and psychological aspects of the legends are of particular interest to the student of a foreign culture, a legend may contain elements of historical truth also. Since these legends pro- vide insight into the early history of Colombia, an effort to find and preserve them has been made.

  • MULTILATERAL AGENCIES, SOCIAL MOVEMENTS and WATER By
    CONTENDING ENVIRONMENTAL DISCOURSES: MULTILATERAL AGENCIES, SOCIAL MOVEMENTS AND WATER by Anne Cooper Occasional Paper No 58 SOAS Water Issues Study Group School of Oriental and African Studies/King’s College London University of London 2002 This paper is closely based on a dissertation is submitted as part of an MA in Environment and Development at King’s College/the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London 2 ABSTRACT This paper explores the conflicting discourses surrounding water. A theoretical framework shows the influence of postmodernism on disciplines related to water management and social movements. Case studies compare the World Bank water policies to the arguments of Vandana Shiva, and then relate these discourses to World Bank practice in Ghana, where divestiture of urban water systems is being resisted. World Bank discourse is not monolithic, but is changing and assimilating concepts from alternative development theory. This new breadth of policy is not reflected in practice, but as ‘discourse overload’ it does enable the World Bank to deflect or neutralise less nuanced criticisms. 3 CONTENTS Introduction.............................................................................................................................5 Theoretical Framework: Postmodernism and Social Movements..................................8 Postmodernism: Definitions and Criticisms...................................................................... 8 Postmodernism in Environment and Development........................................................
