    Is post-modernism a tramp for the development?
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2003-12-01) Cirhinlioğlu, Zafer
    It is widely accepted that, in our day, the world is divided into two different parts; developed and undeveloped. Undeveloped countries were left simply with one choice; that is, development or modernisation. In this period, Western civilisation points to a number of basic values/concept, namely, capitalism, individualism, secularism, human rights, consumption, and more importantly than the others, rationality. However, intellectuals in the West is apparently convinced that it is just time to shift the direction of these discussions and to maintain and consolidate relative vested privileges and superiority of the West, which were gained on the basis of principles of rationality and particularly the positivist methodology. This article reviews the post-modern discourse from the perspective of undeveloped countries. It is concluded that post-modernisation services for the exploitation of the labour market and material resources of undeveloped world.
