This unit is about the political economy of global development. Students are introduced to contemporary debates about the meaning and measurement of poverty and development in emerging economies, how development theory shapes economic history, and current policy trends. Students will learn to evaluate the socio-economic dynamics and impact of development policy, including new models of development finance and aid, the use of social policy as a development tool and the critical role that gender, climate change and labour migration play in the development experience.
