What is Development?
This lecture was presented as part of the 2013 Draper Hills Summer Fellows Program.
Launched in 2005, the Draper Hills Summer Fellowship on Democracy and Development Program (DHSFDD) is a three-week academic training program that is hosted annually at Stanford University's Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law. The program brings together a group of 25 to 30 mid-career practitioners in law, politics, government, private enterprise, civil society, and international development from transitioning countries. This training program provides a unique forum for emerging leaders to connect, exchange experiences, and receive academic training to enrich their knowledge and advance their work.
For three weeks during the summer, fellows participate in academic seminars that expose them to the theory and practice of democracy, development, and the rule of law. Delivered by leading Stanford faculty from the Stanford Law School, the Graduate School of Business, and the departments of economics and political science, these seminars allow emerging leaders to explore new institutional models and frameworks to enhance their ability to promote democratic change in their home countries.

Excellent Mr. Fukuyama

[@SusanSt.James-33]

That characterization of Kenya is so apt. Ours is a neo-patrimonial state. The state serves the ruler and allied insiders. The state is not impersonal to all, equally.

[@DesireeLourensArtist]

Same as in South Africa. Neo-patrimony is toxic.

This is maybe one of the most important issues in today's' world but i guess everyone is busy watching cuty cat clips

[@abebawtegegne8545]

[@christophercolt44]

Excellent teacher.

Videographer: Please try to show both the speaker and his slides at once. The easiest solution is to zoom out so that the video essentially replicates what the audience experiences: (often) a large slide with a smaller speaker. The best solution is to show the slide with a smaller inset of the speaker. Otherwise, always a pleasure to hear the ideas of Fukuyama.

imagination is the best teacher.

[@eye2eyeerigavo777]

Highly packed variables in development but parametricing further is the way to decipher interactions between them...

[@natureeye8953]

Lots of information i got. Thanks.

[@flicksbyhans]

I am from PNG and I think he did justice to try and use it as an example of the extreme

[@NKMAPS]

Superb presentation!

[@barumbadum]

Thanks a lot for the video.....

In short development is about economic development; social development; and political development.

Kurdistan of Iraq is planning to go through harsh reforms in the public sector. Professor Fukuyama's dimension of development could be a genuine​ roadmap to proceed.

What makes him think that an unhappy family in a tiny village can just leave and go somewhere else? "Somewhere else" they don't know anyone, they aren't part of the local community in that new place, the chief won't have any reason to allocate them land (if there even is land available to allocate), they will have no family connections to help them. Whereas in the city, if they are able to get a new job or rent a new place to live (a big "if"), they can easily change jobs or residences to avoid people they don't get along with.

His scales apply on GCC states more than any other countries.

You are my FUTURE meal ticket for the CIA. Of course I will make sure THAT WE CAN always WIN IN the FUTURE.

That comparison between Papua New Guinea and San Francisco is problematic, to say the least. The comparison must between communitarian societies AND the life in underdeveloped cities where people do not have access to services. Other than that is to compare the Real Madrid with a team from a minor league in the global south.

The term development came about around the 1950s, probably came from biology Marx had a mechanistic view of societies developing until eventually we get to Communism. - economic growth : increasing per capita GDP - Clarke - little development from 1200- about 1800 - unprecedented rate of economic growth has to do with political institutions: State, Rule of Law etc, - western europe and north America began to grow , buy other parts of the developing world saw a drop in their GDP. Social mobilisation is the 2nd measure of development. In China living as peasants are all of a sudden City dwellers . - anthropologists like going to Papua new Guinea because they are relatively untouched by development. -

I STAND by MY WORK IN this SOCIETY. This ALIEN is LIVING with me everyday FOR over three months now and I'LL GET you some WORK TO do WITH OUR PRESIDENT OF AMERICA.

[@voltaire6668]

It's painful to have to watch him pull teeth from the "emerging leaders" who do not seem well informed or able to connect the dots. Just give the lecture!!

[@rayhanisa6812]

please add language

At 7:05 Fukuyama notes that the sharp increase in productivity is not the result of new technology or resource, it's a change of the Political System. While this may sound conceited (if you're a Political Philosopher) I think he's right. . . changing the Political institutions can free up people to be MORE productive. . . but he won't consider the obvious conclusion. . . and being so Obvious, it is often ignored. . . that if CHANGING the POLITICAL system was the only variable sufficient to cause a SPIKE in Productivity, then it was the Political System that was retarding the increased output. . . therefore, the Political Structure can trap it's citizens in less-than-middle-class jobs . . . Government is formed to Serve it's citizens. . . and restrictions in economic growth is generally not a good idea.

[@xandercorp6175]

Restricting economic growth is usually a tradeoff in stability, security, resistance to shocks, etc.

I love you. And if you want proof, how about 5 years of CELIBACY IN the FUTURE WITH OUR FRIENDS IN YOUR OWN BUSINESS as we CAN GET a JOB WITH her HUSBAND IN law SCHOOL IN OUR CURRENT RELATIONSHIP TOGETHER WITH EACH OTHER. I wanna get a PhD in her HUSBAND's law SCHOOL IN new YORK CITY where she LIVES TOGETHER WITH her OWN FAMILY IN this SOCIETY.

Absolutely. An historically biased narrative.

Shameless apologist.
