Omtale

In development theory there is a narrative: . Problem: The difference-deficits, in what MDCs have and LDCs have not . Direct violence arises out of envy as the MDCs advance further . Remedy: The LDCs have to imitate the MDCs and be assisted to do so . If imitative enough, growth will make LDCs have what they have not This book challenges that, arguing an alternative narrative: . Problem: The relation between poor and rich people and countries . Structural violence keeps poor people in poor countries in misery . Remedy: Decouple vertical and build horizontal equitable relations . If horizontal enough nature, humans, societies, world will unfold Betegnelse: In development theory a common narrative suggests that direct violence arises in poor countries as a result of envy as the more developed countries advance further. The remedy for this is for the less developed countries to imitate the MDC and be assisted to do so. This book challenges that narrative and argue an alternative, suggesting that structural violence keeps poor countries in misery and that the remedy is to build horizontal equitable relations.
