This course situates the implementation and application of development theories and practice in the Global South (GS), focusing on development for and from within the GS. We analyze development, looking more closely at various alternative theories that influence it, the parameters that are considered ‘successful’ and how those are affected by various lenses, countries and ideas. We delve deeper to look at:
- Public lead development,
- Public-private partnerships,
- Regional trading blocs such as BRICS,
- Development agencies and banks in the GS,
- Community-level impacts.
Through the writing and presentation of a Development Project Proposal (DPP), you can expect to gain a solid grasp on how to analyze the implementation of development goals and their impact. In addition as a seminarian in a student directed seminar, you have an active role in the facilitation of both academic and pedagogical components.
