Institution:

University of New England

Subject:

Sociology

Description:

Globalization and international development jointly define one of the central opportunities of our time. Globalization can be a powerful engine for international development, but in many developing countries globalization has instead meant rising poverty and inequality. This course explores the process of international development in the world today, particularly from the perspective of the United States. International development is defined as a process undertaken by countries and communities with assistance from other nations' governments and communities, from international non-governmental organizations (such as charities) or from intergovernmental organizations such as the United Nations the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. Students will explore various models and methods of international development with particular emphasis on the benefits and problems of each.
