She learns about the role of the market, government, opposition groups, and nongovernmental organizations in the lives of citizens of these countries as well as in her own life as a U.S. and global citizen. The student develops tools to judge contemporary debates over global institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank and the relationship between the public and private sectors. Analyzing the values and assumptions inherent in alternative perspectives on economic development, she works collaboratively toward new ways of addressing current impasses.
