WiSe 17/18: Socio-Economic Dimension of Sustainable Development: Poverty
Philipp Lepenies
Kommentar
The first of the recently proclaimed Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) reads „End
poverty in all its forms everywhere“. Poverty eradication has not only become a universal
political priority, it is a main element of sustainable development.
And everybody seems to know what poverty is. But what is poverty exactly? Who counts as
poor. Should we do something against poverty? And if so, what?
In this seminar, we will try to find answers to these questions. Poverty is a social construct
that can only be understood in light of specific social, cultural, economic and political
contexts. Thus, poverty is a multidimensional phenomenon that cannot be analyzed through
the lens of a single scientific discipline alone. This is why different disciplinary approaches
towards poverty are highlighted in the course. Yet, it is the political reactions towards poverty
that will be especially highlighted, together with the measurement of poverty and the role that
poverty plays in development policy. The seminar will introduce students to the broad topic of
poverty and will allow you to follow, understand, and critically scrutinize current national and
international debates on poverty.
