授業の目的 【英語】
Goals of the Course | | | This course introduces students to basic theories and approaches in international development studies with a particular focus on ‘poverty’. We begin by exploring how ‘development’ has been conceptualised, measured, and studied by the international development community. This is followed by a review of classic theories of development to examine the roles of the state and the market in promoting development. We try particularly to understand theories about modernisation and underdevelopment, the two major currents of thought that try to explain why nations stay poor and how they should get out of it. In the second part of the course, we examine the roles of different development actors, including the state, bilateral aid agencies, international financial institutions, the United Nations and multilateral aid agencies, private businesses and civil society organisations. In doing so, we examine how we should think about foreign aid. In the third part, we learn some of the basic skills that can be used in development practice. |
