4.00 Credits
Allegheny College
An introduction to the ongoing struggle over the economic and political "development" of Third World nations.

Why is this so and, given the prevailing distribution of power and influence, what can be done? These questions are explored with particular reference to the domestic and international politics of Asia and Africa and special attention to emerging policy alternatives. This course is particularly well-suited to first- and second-year students with little or no training in political scie
