How Do You Solve a Problem Like Development? From Wallerstein’s World-Systems to Post-Development Progress

Teacher union work is a vital piece in improving student learning conditions in the developing world. However, this work continues to be done in the framework of world-systems analysis, which positions the developed north in the core position and the developing south in the periphery position. This paper will suggest that development work will be more effective when framed in the post-development theory model, which allows for contextualisation of the developing countries and acknowledges their unique history. It gives the developing country the agency to decide what they want and need, and positions the northern development worker as a resource rather than a leader.
