Trade, Aid and the Economics of Developing Countries

Why are some developing countries poorer than others which have developed faster? How important is history? Globalisation? How can slow development be accelerated? More aid, trade, foreign private investment? What about human development in health and education? What values are involved? Whose agenda? How do we account for recurrent conflict, chronic poverty, corruption and famine in some regions? What is the role of the World Bank and UN agencies? In this course, the economic theme will draw in wider perspectives, using examples from across the developing world.
