This course examines some of the key questions related with ethics and development, with a particular focus on some of the practises of development in developing countries. It starts out with discussing the notion of development and the contestations surrounding it. The fact that poverty and inequality remain in many countries, in spite of significant interventions and international aid, has posed both conceptual and practical problems. This also raises the question of ethics in development. Are international institutions violating the human rights of the poor across the world? is poverty itself a human rights violation? How should we define poverty and what is the relationship between poverty and development? How do both relate to ethics? This course aims to discuss these various ethical issues related with human development, and attempts to cover some parts of the global development discourse.
