The Politics of International Development

'Development' is commonly the framework through which countries of the south are understood, and incorporated into the world capitalist system. This course traces the historical and theoretical evolution of and resistance to the developmental project from post-colonialism to neoliberalism. The course also investigates the complexities of the politics of 'development' by examining the 'south' in the north; and by tackling the politics of the rise of China, India and Brazil in the global economy.(Global)
