This study aims to narrow this theoretical gap and to examine what students from a developing country learned about themselves following a three-week course stay in the rural education system of a developing country in the context of the effects of globalization on the environment. The research study employed the qualitative approach using a case-study method based. This course provided students with an emotional experience and the acquisition of knowledge that combines the senses of vision, smell, and hearing. The course also involved significant practical experience. The combination of acquiring knowledge using emotions, combined with hands-on activities, has made the course a distinctive student experience. The themes that emerged correspond to the model that presents the holistic nature of a transformative learning experience. This entire integrative approach relates to heart-personal experience and motivation, the head concept of globalization, hands behavior.

“…Developing countries should strive for a kind of ‘Fordist’ model based on mass consumption, relatively equal income distribution and high productivity development.

Among them are policies for minimum wages, reduced wage dispersion, a regulated financial system with low real interest rates, fight against rent-seeking in all versions, build-up of a basic welfare state and redistribution via the tax system.…”

This essay reviews different economic perspectives on the development of productivity and living standards in developing countries. It shows that neoclassical approaches to the problem of economic convergence fail to provide a satisfactory explanation of why economic convergence does not take place. In doing so, it reviews seven heterodox arguments on why developing countries do not converge. The article argues that the lack of economic convergence is a result of market forces which lead to the reproduction of underdevelopment. Therefore, comprehensive state interventions are needed to overcome underdevelopment. The article discusses different alternative policies which are needed to trigger development, thus countering the perspectives of neoliberal economists and the Washington Consensus.
