12 points + 2 hours per week + Second semester + Clayton
Synopsis This subject is concerned with the international politics of
development and underdevelopment. The topics considered will include major
trends in development theorising, both explanatory and prescriptive, seen in
the context of postwar international history; the fading of the `first
world-third world' paradigm and the rise of new analytical frameworks such as
`globalisation' and `clash of civilisations'; the changing roles of states and
markets in development; democratisation and development; the state of
North-South relations with reference to trade, aid and debt.
