Political Ecology?

In the Will to Improve, Li draws mostly on the Foucaultian inspired Governmentality framework.

1. First, describe this framework in detail by outlining its components, its strengths and its weaknesses.

2. Then second, use this framework to analyze the logic, goals, outcomes, processes and unintended consequences of the four-five periodes of development in Sulawesi: Colonial (“ethical period”), New Order. Reformasi, TNC, and Neoliberal.

a. Be sure to explore the ways in which programs in each of these periods feed into the next period (e.g. the way that Christian conversion during the colonial era affected differentiation and violence in the New Order period).
