International development: making sense of a changing world
<div><p>In this interdisciplinary module you'll cover key areas of international development. These include: different models of development; shifting power in the international system; the relationship between poverty, inequality and livelihoods; the impact of conflict and insecurity; and the role of technology and the environment. The history of development as a process of change, the power relationships in that process and the different scales at which development takes place from transnational to local, are themes running throughout the module. These themes integrate the material ? using a mix of case studies, interactive activities, text and DVD ? to provide a central narrative encouraging critical appraisal and curiosity.</p></div>
