About
In my project, entitled ‘Competing Visions of Development', I investigate how the rhetoric of time and space are used at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in order to delimit where development takes place, to and by whom and how this subsequently frames the spatial and temporal limits of development at the United Nations (UN). But also how the time of politics at the UNGA (the increasingly limited time available to debate questions of development) affect the politicization of development at the UN (and therefore the very possibility to compete in the framing of the spatial and temporal limits of development). The overarching objective of my doctoral project is to contribute to inform on the nature of power and interactions between countries at the level of global institutions and the role of social and political concepts (such as the one of development) in these interactions.
