Episode 2: Who does international development?

Beyond the Map Podcast

I was a teenager in the 1980s and so almost all the images I saw of Africa were through news and Band Aid coverage of the famine in Ethiopia.  For me then, international development was what we did for African women and children.  

In the 21st century, with the rise of new powers like China and India, and the increasing prominence of investment and markets, the nature of international development has changed.  But, in many ways, the way that Africa is imagined has not.

In this podcast I will be speaking with Professor Emma Mawdsley about the power of geographical images, the rise of new agents, and what the future might hold for how international development is done.
