GLOBAL POLITICS*

概要

This course is concerned with the theory and practice of international development. We will study the evolution of the project of development from its launched as a post-World War II initiative to its characteristics under the current era of economic globalization and liberalization, including backlashes against the forms this project has taken. Each phase of development has been marked by intense theoretical and practical debate, from the certainties of modernization theory, the explanatory perspectives of dependency theory to more current critiques of anti-development and anti-globalization theorists. In this course, we will examine the intellectual and practical foundations of these debates. To do so, we will link development theories to the material practice of development.

目標

Upon completion of the course, students will: 1) have a familiarity with development problems, 2) be able to explain and critique the various approaches to the practice of development, and 3) be able to use case studies to test the hierarchy between the first and the third world that is applied to solve development problems.
