DESCRIPTION
This module explores the political economy of the world?s developing societies in a historical and global perspective by focusing on some of the key processes that have contributed to global inequality. The role of powerful global actors (including the major states and transnational corporations) and of international financial institutions will be a central theme, but local, national and international development initiatives will also be explored. The module also enables students to explore the various theories of development and underdevelopment used in the explanation of the major constraints and opportunities facing developing countries.
