Talk by Prof. Michael Goldman
Document Actions
Today, North-South relations are in large part determined by the development industry. This development industry includes two prominent actors namely the World Bank and the NGOs. Michael Goldman has conducted an extensive and intensive ethnography of the World Bank and its various professional networks. Through reference to this detailed ethnography, the talk will focus on how knowledge is produced among NGOs and experts on developmental issues and projects, which in turn justify the projects and legitimate the entry of the World Bank to fund these projects. This will allude to the foundations of the World Bank's chievements. Through this talk, the attempt is to explore the nature of new social movements and how power dynamics are being re-organized in the political arena.
