Goals of the Course | | This course reviews changing debates on poverty in the global context. First, we examine how poverty has been conceptualised and measured in international development and what changes have been taking place in the global distribution of poverty. Second, we learn the concept and practice of social protection for developing countries by using the free online course on ‘Social Protection: A Primer’ developed by the Centre for Social Protection at the Institute of Development Studies in the UK, in collaboration with Irish Aid. After the online course is finished, students will make a presentation about a social protection program implemented in different regions of the world. Third, we take a closer look at cash transfers and microfinance that constitute important parts of social protection measures, exploring the backgrounds in which they had emerged and understanding shifting ideas about cash for development. Forth, we organize a classroom debate concerning the role of food or cash transfers, using India’s Public Distribution System as an example.
