CESO 0917 - Leadership and Global Development

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

It is estimated that over 1 billion people in the world live on less than $1 a day. While some countries have enjoyed remarkable economic growth in the last few decades, a fair share of the population in the Global South (developing world) still lives in abject poverty. Students interested in the question, “why are there such disparities in global wealth?” would benefit from this course. Drawing from sociology, economics, and political science, students will be introduced to the field of development. The course will use substantive case studies from Latin America, Asia, and Africa focused on poverty and other complex global issues related to development: climate change, the HIV/AIDs epidemics and political instability.
