ASTU 400N Course Description (the short version)
The academically rigorous course situates the implementation and application of development theories and practice in the Global South (GS), focusing on development for and from within the GS. We analyze development, looking more closely at various alternative theories that influence it, the parameters that are considered ‘successful’ and how those are affected by various lenses, countries and ideas.
