Abstract
Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the course introduces students to the theories, historical processes and events, current policy debates, and their practical implementations that are shaping the economic, political, and social direction of international development today. From histories of colonialism, the debt crisis and structural adjustment programs, neoliberalism, and aid we move to examine matters of governance, poverty, informality, and civil society, among others.
