The idea of international development has its origins in US President Harry S Truman's "Four Point"\xa0Speech on 20\xa0January 1949.\xa0However, even though more than 70 years has passed since that time,\xa0"development" still means different things to different people.\xa0In this Episode we will explore a variety of meanings of the word "development" and get a better understanding of why development is such a contested word.

Part 1\xa0provides a brief introduction into how our world is interconnected, and in so doing provides a reason why development, whatever it may mean, should matter to all of us.
