This course will provide a broad overview of major contemporary issues in the theory and practice of comparative and global development, with a major focus being on the relationship between development and economic globalization. The perspective is that of political economy and is highly interdisciplinary across the social sciences, particularly political science, sociology, economics, and geography. We will address the rise of the Third World and diverse national and regional trajectories of development; debates about economic growth and industrial development; democratization; social welfare policies to combat poverty and inequality; states and markets as competing development models; upgrading within global industries; and policy space for contemporary development strategies within global rules and institutions (the IMF, World Bank, and WTO).

Economics in International Affairs (NINT 5109), or its equivalent, is a pre-requisite for taking this course
