- Description
- ‘Globalization’ and ‘development’ are highly contested general organizing concepts, in both theory or praxis. The term ‘development’ emerged in English language usage in the 1840s, coinciding with rapid industrialization, radical social transformation and European imperialism. Its use spiked following the Second World War, coinciding with decolonization and Pax Americana (Escobar, 2012). Usage peaked circa 1980, on the threshold of a new period of neoliberal economic globalization (Gills, 2000). Notably, ‘globalization’ entered the English lexicon in the early 1980s, its usage rising steeply from that time onward, rapidly overtaking ‘development’ and even subsuming its meaning. The relationship between the ideas/ideologies/discourses of development and globalization remains a matter of intense theoretical debate and empirical exploration.
