This course should provide students with an ability to understand and critically assess key development issues, theories, and visions. Through in-class analysis of case studies students will improve their knowledge of social, economic, and political issues and challenges that affect the development prospects of post-conflict countries. Students will also be able to discuss the major competing approaches that aim to explain why some countries are wealthier and have better development outcomes than others.
