Course Details

Country: France
Course Title: International Development
Course Number:
Course Description: This course introduces students to a conceptual and policy framework pertaining to the field of international development and aid. The aim of the course is to lend insight into the world of development, its actors, paradoxes and stakes. We will go through academic readings, relevant material from institutional literature and current affairs in order to encourage thoughtful and critical discussions on existing development policies and practices. We expect that by the end of the term students will be able to come up with their own arguments on existing development policies through country or sector based case studies and conceptual frameworks that can be channelled from fields as diverse as economics, law, political science or sociology. The course provides a good start to students willing to pursue further studies/career in the challenging, contested but needed field of international development.
