- This course will situate the implementation and application of development theories and practice in the Global South, focusing on development for and from within the Global South.
- We will analyze development, looking more closely at various theories that influence it, the parameters that are considered successful and how those are affected by various lenses, countries and ideas.
- We will delve deeper to look at public lead development, public-private partnerships, and regional trading blocs such as BRICS, development agencies, and banks in the Global South.
- Through the writing and presentation of a Development Project Proposal, students will gain a solid grasp on how to analyze the implementation of development goals and their impact.
This may seem like a lot of work but we’re students too so we have tried to balance workload and learning. Check out our course journey for a weekly breakdown of whats happening!
