Economic Development and Global Governance Cape Town: January 2008. Three credits. William Milberg and Stephen Gelb, EDGE Institute and the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg The globalization of economic life has meant greater capital mobility and more international trade, occurring along with rapid technological change and a political shift in many countries to a greater reliance on market mechanisms. These changes have corresponded with rising income inequality and a narrowing of the scope for effective economic policy in any given country. This course explores economic development in the context of global changes in technology, corporate strategies, and the political shift toward neoliberalism. Cross-listed as GANT 6023.
