Kommentar
Development economics is one of the most exciting fields in the discipline. It asks the same questions Adam Smith raised when he founded the study of economics: Why do some countries develop earlier than others? Why do some countries fail to develop while others are successful? This introductory course at the BA level provides an overview on the main topics in development economics. The course will a) trace the history of ideas in economic development, contrasting, among others, developmentalist theories and state-led industrialization strategies in the post-war era, with market-led economic development; b) analyze the economic challenges faced by low and middle income countries in their quest for development; and c) cover a range of selected topics in development micro- and macroeconomics. The non-technical presentation of the topics makes this course suitable also for students of other disciplines than economics. The course consists of lecture classes and training units to discuss and deepen the lectured topics. The course (lecture/seminar) is complemented by lectures given by another professor.
