Afhandlingen der forsvares: "Forming Local Citizens in Bhutan: The Traditionalization of Participation - Empowerment, Domination or Subjugation?"
Resumé: 'Gross National Happiness' is the name of a new development
model invented by a small Himalayan Kingdom, Bhutan. This development
approach is seen by an increasing number of people as a refreshing
alternative to the conventional development models that often take
growth as their main target. But how is it actually practiced in Bhutan
and how does this influence the way in which the rural inhabitants are
constructed as citizens?
These are questions that you should get wiser on at the PhD
defense of the thesis: Forming Local Citizens in Bhutan: The
Traditionalization of Participation: Empowerment, Domination or
Subjugation?
The thesis addresses questions of how local governance reforms
are diverted by national discourses on citizenship, ones that serve to
traditionalize the local citizens into roles as supplicants rather than
promoting self-determining citizens. Thus, even if donors have success
in localizing governance it may not result in the form of citizenship
donors would like to see".
