We share our tool to understand and negotiate the conditions created by the invocation of development by its prosecuting developmentors on its workers and subject developmentees, as well as those caught in the crossfire. Developmentia describes an institutional psychology that inhibits human uplift like a paralysing societal smog. One which suppresses the supersession of today's status quo with bewildering versatility. Developmentia's methods are camouflaged in virtue, powerful and pervasive, but as we show, quite resistible. They include; co-option, (voluntary) internship, science, technocracy, waste and strategic misdirection. This site offers living collage of developmentia in politics, learning, statescraft, consumerism, war and religion. It is a joint production from IMASE and OtherAsias We invite you to take the opportunity to stroll through the resources on this site, and share them with interesting|vested parties, and write in with any of your own dispatches from Developmentshire.

Recent critiques of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) acknowledge, to varying degrees, the malign effects of ‘philanthrocapitalism’ on the people’s health (Aschoff, 2016; McGoey, 2015). Yet these effects are typically portrayed as the unintentional consequences of misguided benevolence. The multi-billionaires mean well, it is suggested, but are somehow too naïve to recognise the inherent limitations of market-based solutions to health crises.

It is about the threat that the possibility of nationalisation, rent caps and redistribution of wealth poses to the people whose ‘philanthropy’ funds our community. We have allowed our community to be dominated by middle- and upper- class people who are actively opposed to our material interests for way too long.
As the Mourgeoisie prepare for buMfest, and whiteous indignation rages over the Labour party, Jewdas make an interesting point about the distorting affects of philanthrocapital on community.

In the midst of a wave of white INGO panic following an Oxfam prostitution discolure, the sector and its friends in high (and somewhat contested) places are working hard to justify what they do, and are tripping over colonial logic upon which it operates. #ProudofAid is on such articulation. Edited here for mirth.

Their comment at the end of this article about the bombing of an ambulance, underlines their role as wannabe gatekeepers of physical solidarity and criminalisation of people who don't support their humanitarian supply chains.
