This unit questions the viability of free trade and neoliberal policies in terms of development sustainability. Modernist development policies and programs are critiqued in terms of post-development theory. A range of development alternatives including: cooperatives, small scale enterprises, various microcredit schemes, and communes are considered. Detailed analyses and case studies will focus on fair trade as a solution to development problems.
