Full textMeasuring poverty adequately is critical for any type of development project, and yet there are still no clear guidelines as to which approach is best to be used for different circumstances. There is a variety of different ways of measuring and understanding poverty, each with their own advantages and disadvantages, depending on the intended goal. This research explored the theory regarding poverty and poverty measurements, and research various perspectives ranging from income to basic needs, socail exclusion, sustainable livelihoods, and finally to the Human Development Approach.

Full textThis thesis analyses the concept of indigenous peoples’ right to self–determination within the international human rights system and explores viable avenues for the fulfilment of indigenous claims to self–determination through the design, implementation and evaluation of development policies. The thesis argues that development policy plays a crucial role in determining the level of enjoyment of self–determination for indigenous peoples. Development policy can offer an avenue to bypass nation states’ political unwillingness to recognize and promote indigenous peoples’ right to self–determination, when adequate principles and criteria are embedded in the whole policy process. The theoretical foundations of the thesis are drawn from two different areas of scholarship: indigenous human rights discourse and development economics. The indigenous human rights discourse provides the articulation of the debate concerning the concept of indigenous self–determination, whereas development economics is the field within which Amartya Sen’s capability approach is adopted as a theoretical framework of thought to explore the interface between indigenous rights and development policy. Foundational concepts of the capability approach will be adopted to construct a normative system and a practical methodological approach to interpret and implement indigenous peoples’ right to self–determination. In brief, the thesis brings together two bodies of knowledge and amalgamates foundational theoretical underpinnings of both to construct a normative and practical framework. At the normative level, the thesis offers a conceptual apparatus that allows us to identify an indigenous capability rights–based normative framework that encapsulates the essence of the principle of indigenous self–determination. At the practical level, the normative framework enables a methodological approach to indigenous development policies that serves as a vehicle for the fulfilment of indigenous aspirations for self–determination. This thesis analyses Australia’s health policy for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as an example to explore the application of the proposed normative and practical framework. The assessment of Australia’s health policy for Indigenous Australians against the proposed normative framework and methodological approach to development policy, allows us to identify a significant vacuum: the omission of Aboriginal traditional medicine in national health policy frameworks and, as a result, the devaluing and relative demise of Aboriginal traditional healing practices and traditional healers.

Full textMany African states are in dire need of economic development to alleviate poverty, enhance the quality of life of peoples and bring development home. To meet this aim, land investments have been the preferred mode of development for a long time on the African continent with particular reference to Ethiopia and Madagascar as selected case studies of this study. Hectares of land are being given away to foreign investors involved in agricultural investments through investments treaties and contracts. The aim is primarily to attract foreign direct investments to boost the economy. Unfortunately, this seems to be a skewed vision of development, focusing exclusively on economic development without any consideration to social, cultural and political development of people, especially local communities. Such a narrow mode of development is not in line with human rights principles and considerations with thousands of people of the two countries having their basic human rights being constantly and irreparably violated by the actions of foreign investors involved in land investments. Their lands are being grabbed and this is entailing a series of other major infringements of civil and political as well as socio-economic rights intrinsically linked to land. Ethiopia and Madagascar are both parties to major legal instruments on human rights at the UN and the African level. They have legal obligations to respect, protect and fulfil human rights that are being violated on a daily basis by land grabbing. In addition, their domestic legal frameworks are supposed to confer adequate and effective protection to those human rights and protect them from the negative impacts of land grabbing. When such a mode of economic development is resulting in basic human rights violations, it is clear that such development is not aligned with an all-inclusive and encompassing mode of development. To this end, this study adopts Sen’s Capability Approach to development which advocates that development should render people free and capable. Individuals have capabilities which must be enhanced and protected. In the context of land grabbing, land, water, food, culture and political participation have been identified as the human capabilities which require the utmost form of protection and respect. The thesis investigates the ways in which international and domestic legal frameworks on human rights can be used to protect the selected capabilities. While economic development in the form of investments and FDI is necessary in any country, there is a pressing need for such national economic interests to be balanced with human rights of local communities who are the main victims of land grabbing. Accordingly, in terms of the central research question, the study, with references to the two selected jurisdictions, investigates how African states should take appropriate measures and steps to ensure that land investments are compliant with their obligations under international human rights normative framework in a way that renders local communities “capable” in line with Sen’s Capability Approach. In terms of methodology, desk research is used based on reports and data that international research institutions have presented on land grabbing. The common capabilities that are violated in the two jurisdictions are singled out and eventually analysed in line with international human rights framework including the right to development, the right to land, the right to food, the right to water, the right to culture and the right to political participation. The main aim is to examine how a balanced mode of development as proposed by Sen can be achieved using the international framework on human rights, the right to development specifically and the domestic legal framework of the countries. The study concludes that the human rights framework protecting the identified capabilities is not being effectively complied with by the two selected states. In addition, their domestic legislative framework on human rights is not in conformity and harmony with international standards set by treaties and treaties bodies. Accordingly, the study proposes a number of measures that could be taken by states to achieve the balance between national development interests and human rights.

In this thesis, I will attempt to investigate how Amartya Sen’s capability approach, as a universal metric of interpersonal comparison, overcomes the challenges derived from pervasive human diversities. How does it provide us with a universal framework to evaluate and compare individual advantages while still respecting the values of pluralism and human diversity? My work will begin with an analysis of Sen’s capability approach, and then with an analysis of the debate between Sen and John Rawls who argues that the social primary goods are the better metrics of interpersonal comparison. These analyses can help us to clarify the concerns of universalism and pluralism in the context of the capability approach and to review the potential shortfalls and advantages of the approach. This research found that Sen’s capability approach uses substantial freedom as the base of individual advantage. Through this way, the capability approach can leave room for value pluralism to develop and allow human diversities to be fully considered during the process of interpersonal comparison. However, due to the way that Sen justified the value of freedom of choice, the lake of statement and justification of public reasoning and the limits derived from the nature of capability metric, Sen’s capability approach as a universal metric still faces challenges.

Between “Equal opportunity” and “Adequacy” of Education-A View from Amartya Sen’s capability approach Abstract This study was aimed to inquire into the education policies of “equal opportunity” and “adequacy” with special reference to Amartya Sen’s account of “capability approach.” In order to do so, the sociopolitical backgrounds, value appeals, and philosophical bases of these education efforts were analyzed to pave the way for further dialectic comparison and discussion. The very ideas of equity, effectiveness, and positive freedom derived respectively from each policy and Sen’s approach were disclosed while their policy standpoints and relations were examined. As regards policy analysis, the author firstly introduced and investigated Sen’s capability approach on the basis of which two target programs, namely the “education priority area” and the “merge of small size schools,” were thus examined. These programs should be counted as typical Taiwan education issues relating to policies of equal opportunity and adequacy since the education reform in the early 1990s. Both methods of philosophical analysis and policy analysis were employed to look into the backgrounds, value orientations, and philosophical bases of education policies resorting to equal opportunity, adequacy, and capability. Hopefully the characteristic of each policy and their differences and relations might be grasped after further dialectic comparison and discussion. Main results could be briefed as follows: 1. Education as good for both the state and the individual was bound to reveal its diverse values in accordance with the development of human societies. In the present Taiwan, education has been thought as a human right of the people rather than of the state. 2. By historical reasoning on education policies, four stages of education demands might be highlighted, viz., national education provision for educational opportunities, developments of equality of educational opportunity in response to the appeal for equality, education adequacy in response to the appeal for effectiveness, and capability approach replying to what Sen called “freedom to.” 3. Based on the capability approach several effects could be achieved through the integration of equal opportunity and adequacy. For instance, expanding the information focuses could make better the processes of policy making; centering on resources (both tangible and intangible) transformation rather than resources distribution; diverse standards rather than single universal one; accomplishing the ideal forms of education and the most possible freedom. 4. Capability approach grasped the very meaning of “piecemeal” and sociopolitical contexts so that it could make education reform more suitable, schooling more lively, and learning more easily and alternatively. Keywords: capability approach, equality of educational opportunity, education adequacy, education priority area, merge of small size schools

The purpose of this study is to explore the ideal, goals and implementation of 12-years basic education from the capability approach theory developed by Amartya Sen. In this study, using literature analyses is used to analyze the implementation of 12-years basic education, and explore the educational application of Amartya Sen's capability approach theory. Finally, to analyze the ideal, goals and implementation of 12-years basic education with Amartya Sen’s capability approach theory. The research conclusions are as following: 1. The ideal, goals of the 12-year basic education is conforming to Sen's capability approach theory. 2. 12-year basic education should expand as much as possible the individual's capability and agency so that he or she can fulfill his or her potential in the future. 3. Assessing the effectiveness of 12-year basic education should expand informational focus, understand the actual life of students, and the process of resource conversion. Extend the evaluation of educational effectiveness to processes and opportunities.
