Expanded Course Description
| The politics of development is a huge topic that could occupy many years of study and still not cover all the issues. This course is designed as an introduction to the broad theories of development as they are examined in political science with a more in-depth look at certain issues currently considered important to the field. In this course we will study theories, issues and experiences surrounding economic, political and social development in the developing world. A single image of development politics and the developing world remains inadequate to capture the diversity and complexity of how scholars conceptualize development, interpret the experiences of developing countries, and offer solutions to the problems of countries trying to develop. Consequently, we will explore and debate how development is conceptualized, experienced and made problematic in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries by examining a variety of theoretical perspectives. We will note how development theory has changed over the course of the 20th century, how it has incorporated new ideas and practices, and dismissed others. The aim is to provide students with the general knowledge to evaluate the different approaches, better argue for an approach that best fits their perspective, and gain the tools to analyze the issues subsequently explored. |
