Learning outcomes
|
The course is about measurement, problems, and prospects of development in the globalized world. It takes a broad picture and provides an analytical overview of ten development topics and three development regions. While the focus is on developing countries, many topics are relevant also for advanced countries. The role of national and international policies is emphasized throughout the course. Though the course is rather non-technical, the most common applied perspective is economic, and so the knowledge of introductory economics is an advantage. Additionally, the use of geography and reading of maps as analytical tool is emphasized in regional development section (D).
