Institution:

St Lawrence University

Subject:

Description:

If the United States is one of the most developed countries in the world, why are there more healthy people per capita in Cuba than in Washington, D.C.? If we consider India a developing country, why is the literacy rate in Kerala higher than in the United Kingdom? Since President Truman's call for a program of international development to bring countries of the South up to par with countries of the North more than 50 years ago, humanity has been split into "developed" and "underdevelopedregions. We examine this divide and its continuing consequences for the world. Also offered through Global Studies.
