Anti- development, post development and indigenous knowledge
Modernisation theory
The Truman doctrine (1949) - "And the key to greater production is a wider and more vigorous application of modern and scientific knowledge".- sense that the whole world will benefit.
Indigenous knowledge
-
-
-
e.g. Bedouin- have a fluid understanding of the environment, one family waggles a stick around a tree and their family has access to the leaves that fall, another family has access to the leaves that fall without wiggling and other to the wood that falls. So it's a way of ensuring the source is preserved by lots of people, as they all have a steak in the material.
If you don't understand environment you die e.g. Egyptian geologists- died within 12 hours- left their car.
