Why is it that what works for Germany might not work for Greece and what works for India might not work for Kenya? Anthropology is the science of cultural diversity that can help us understand the great variety of outcomes in economic and human development at a macro and micro level.
What is culture, how it shapes our thoughts, our values and behaviors, and how it relates to social, political, economic and environmental facts, is discussed in the first part of this course.
On this basis, the second part deals with the anthropological study of development work and its understanding of the causes and circumstances of successes and failures in the field.
