https://at-ceu.studyguide.timeedit.net/modules/DOPP5296?type=COREThis class introduces students to a series of fundamental questions surrounding economic development. What does it mean? Why is there such a wide cross-national and cross-regional disparity in terms of access to basic goods and services for ordinary citizens? Are there different tools for helping us understand these gaps? What are the current debates regarding policy solutions?The course will cross disciplinary bridges in order to give students exposure to conversations taking place in various fields: development economics, political economy, and anthropology. Thematically, the class will follow three major axes: 1) wealth and growth; 2) poverty and inequalities; 3) actors and processes in international development. Pedagogically, in addition to discussions generated by readings, course participants will work in lab teams on specific projects entailing data collection and analysis. Some sessions will also feature interactive case studies and new media.Part of Development specialization for MAPP and MPAPart of the Policy track courses for MAIPA
