Theorising Postdevelopment
(2023-11)
The paper seeks to define and situate postdevelopment (PD) theory within the social sciences by discussing its relation to other theoretical approaches. It concludes that PD can be seen to a rather limited extent as a development theory, but rather as a sociology of knowledge of this discipline and a critiqu e of its foundation. PD shares the critique of capitalism with Marxism but also has a more negative view of industrial modernity, its relation to nature, economic growth and productivity. For some, PD is characterized ...

Fintech, Philanthropy, and Development: Is KYC the core problem or solution for Digital Inclusion?
(2022-04)

These technologies are supported by the nexus of finance, development, and philanthropy, ostensibly to facilitate welfare policies. But they are also part of a global security imperative. This is because the need for digital identity databases emerges from regulations to counter terror finance. Examples from India ...

This book concentrates on measuring self-reliance and identifying factors influencing it in ...

A questo scopo è stato scelto il caso del monastero benedettino prima e cistercense dopo di S. Giovanni della Pipia a Cremona. Il momento della fondazione di un’istituzione religiosa e i relativi documenti e privilegi papali ricevuti ...
