Comments
The main question this course (lecture and seminar) addresses are: 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 economic and social development. 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 such as gender, the digital society and innovation.
