Description
A study of the political, economic and social determinants of international development. How do we define development, and how has that changed over time? What is the role of the state in the economy? We survey these issues across cases in the Global South, including Africa, Asia and Latin America; we also examine the role of international financial institutions, the donor community, NGOs and private actors.
