The aim of this course is to understand the global and local aspects of the social, cultural, economic, and political development processes in nations and societies of the Global South. It will highlight how social scientists approach the complex issues involved in international development. The first part of the course will cover mainstream international development theory whereby we will analyze basic assumptions underlying competing economic and social theories of international development. The second part of the course will explore the environmental and social dimensions of development often overlooked by mainstream international development theory and practice. In relation to the environment, we will focus on issues of environmental degradation and sustainability. Course materials will cover global trends in climate change, but we will focus on case studies to elucidate sustainable development issues. Under social aspects of development, we will investigate contemporary trends that emphasize local ownership and participation.
