Situation Analysis: A Forum for Critical Thought & International Current 
Affairs.
Issue 4 - "The Life and Death of Development"
Deadline for Submission: 20th May 2004

Situation Analysis is a peer-reviewed journal which appears on-line and 
in a hard-copy format, and currently reaches approximately 3,000 
academics, activists and interested parties around the world.

The recent World Social Forum in Mumbai, and other events like it, can 
be said to reflect a generalised crisis in neo-liberal corporate 
capitalism. The World Social Forum is creating a space, however 
ambivalent, in which to ask, and indeed answer, the increasingly crucial 
question: is another world possible? This issue of Situation Analysis 
proposes to refine this question, by posing two further, interrelated 
questions: what is the future of development as the discourse which aims 
to guide the world towards a certain vision of the future; and what role 
can education play within development and in imagining an alternative 
world?  We therefore invite submissions which explore, separately or in 
combination, the following threads:

Development Thread:

Sustainable Development / Post-Development / Underdevelopment / Personal 
testimonies of experiences of Development Projects / Theories of 
Development / Women and Development / Development and Poverty / 
Development and the Environment / The Millennium Development Goals / The 
future of Development Theories

Education Thread:

Education and Development / Development Education / Critiquing Human 
Capital Theory / Transnational Literacy / Citizenship Education / 
Pedagogies of the North and the South / Education and Resistance / 
Critical and Post-colonial Pedagogies / Development Policy and National 
Curricula / Learning to Unlearn


We invite academic, journalistic, creative and personal responses to 
these and related issues by no later than May 20th, 2004. Submissions 
should not normally exceed 5,000 words, be in English (unless otherwise 
arranged), and can initially be sent as email attachments to 
editorial@situationanalysis.com. Authors are asked to confirm at 
submission that their work is not also under consideration with another 
journal or publisher, and are themselves responsible for obtaining 
permission to reproduce copyright material - including illustrations - 
from other sources.

For more detailed information regarding submission, and the ethos and 
aims of the journal, please see the Situation Analysis website at:
