How did colonial development evolve and are their continuities with post colonial development? Do development doctrines influence work? How do development priorities change over time? Marc Frey, professor of international history at the Bundeswehr University, draws lessons on development from the Office du Niger, a large irrigation system in the river Niger. As one of the oldest developmental projects, the Office Du Niger is a prism through which larger shifts in development theories and practices can be analyzed over a long period of time. The podcast was recorded on April 22nd, 2021 as part of the Center’s lecture series.
