ECOP2619: Global Development
2022 unit information
This unit interrogates the political economy of global development. You will be introduced to debates about the meaning, measurement and politics of poverty and economic development as they have changed over time. You will learn to evaluate the socio-economic dynamics of poverty and approaches to global development, particularly as they are evolving in the post-COVID era. Models of development finance and aid, the use of social policy, and the critical role that gender, climate change, technology and migration play in the global development experience are all explored.
