A CURRICULUM ON GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT 1. Gilbert AhamerGlobal Studies 4

Geographies of Globalisation Gilbert AhamerGlobal Studies 5  Values are created by appreciation (“Wert-Schätzung  Wert”)  The lecturer’s pro- fessional experience shows that only appreciation for all paradigms (= views, perspectives) can provide the full picture of reality.

DESIGN OF THE ACCESSION PROCESS TO THE EU 2. Gilbert AhamerGlobal Studies 9

10 EU accession - the historic miracle Not one dead (persons killed = 0) Mutual respect = intact  any result is better than war But: are there still critical issues in the accession process?

11 The EU accession process Ping-pong style of working documents

12 Twinning on Air Quality : Austria (= Member State MS) & Slovak Republic (= Candidate Country CC) Budget = 666 k€ Resident Pre-Accession Adviser: 1 year in CC – Legal part – Technical part – Implementation part

13 Twinning on Air Quality Stepwise & mutual review of documents Report 1, version 1Report 1, version 1’ Report 1, version 2Report 1, version 2’ Report 1, version 3Report 1, version 3’ Report 1, version 4Report 1, version 4’ Report 1, version 5Report 1, version 5’ Report 1, version 6Report 1, version 6’ Report 1, version 7Report 1, version 7’ Report 1, version 8Report 1, version 8’ MS authorsCC authors Report 1, final version

14 Our Twinning on „Air Quality“ 40% of all tasks were fulfilled (average 25%)

15 Results of Twinning MS Project leader: „… to reach consensus that such a legal project is necessary at all(!)“ Technically: often weak compliance

16 Difficulties in practice: 1.Understaffing in administration of CC 2.Other culture of committments 3.Hierarchic workflow 4.Clear guidance is expected at work 5.Different approach to „law“: easy changes 6.History: law was imposed by the „others“ 7.The EU is seen as the „cow to milk“

17 Official conclusions made: Twinning must continue to be the cornerstone of EU‘s and the CC‘s joint efforts to foster Institution Building Günter Verheugen, Member of the European Commission 2001

DIFFERING PARADIGMS OF GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT 3. Gilbert AhamerGlobal Studies 18

The “magnetic field” of our globalisation discourse  Modernisation theory Modernisation theory  The concept of modernisation tries to replace earlier concepts such as “development” (in case of negative sign: underdevelopment, backwardness) or progress by a value-free term but is never- theless still tacitly used connected with an emphasis on values and teleological orientation. Gilbert AhamerGlobal Studies 19  Dependency theory Dependency theory  Reason for underdevelopment of countries would not be internal but external factors such as especially colonialism. By executing power the developed countries would succeed in keeping the less developed countries in an ongoing state of poverty.

Literature on developmental views  Look through the pieces of literature produced to date by the Mattersburg Circle for Developmental Policies at Austrian Universities (see WebCT), especially the one dozen of GEP volumes representing the main academic body of the Vienna based (sister) curriculum “International Development”GEP volumesInternational Development  GEP: Gilbert AhamerGlobal Studies 22 IDevelopment Cooperation in Practice IIMovement(s) make(s) History IIIDevelopment and Underdevelopment IVDe-veloping Globalisation IXCapitalist Development in the Global North and South VThe Commodification of Education VIIntroduction to Developmental Sociology VIIDevelopment Cooperation VIIINorth-South Relations XRacism XIDevelopment-Theory Classics XIISociology of the Global Society XIIIPolitics and Periphery Note regarding the copyright: © is with the authors, Matters- burger Kreis and Mandelbaum Verlag!
