Description:

PQ: Consent of instructor. This course looks at the impact of the colonial experience on post-independence levels of democracy and conflict, both directly and through the long-term colonial era legacies on other factors (e.g., economic growth; or ethnic imbalances in the economy, administration, and military). We cover a wide range of disciplinary approaches, from history and sociology to anthropology and economics. The common methodological theme is understanding how we might measure the impact of the past, and the benefits and limits of various quantitative approaches to doing so. S. Wilkinson. Winter. ( C)
