This course aims to introduce students to major development theories and approaches. It equips students with a critical understanding of political and economic issues in development and, importantly, the politics of development processes and development policy. Students will analyse and interpret the development trajectories of countries through case studies and gain an appreciation for the role of public and private actors in development. Upon completing the course, students will be able to apply development theories to make sense of development outcomes and understand and engage in debates over pivotal development issues.
