Abstract: The gap in per capita income between the north and the south counties of the world, taken as two groups together, is diverging rather than converging (IMF, 2004). This economic measure could inform as the fact that there has been an increase rather than decrease in the global inequality. This could lead us to question; what causes such inequality? When did it start happening? Why it is increasing? What is the consequence of it? Who is responsible? What can be done about it? The main intent of development discourses from the beginning up until recently relays on finding solutions to such questions. At the same time, the success and failure of development discourses and praxis relate to the degree of successes in addressing the same challenges.
