PS 1335: Politics of The Developing World
3.00 Credits
University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus
This course will consist of a broad survey of the political and economic issues facing the developing world.

Such theoretical perspectives will include modernization/stage theory, dependency theory, world systems theory, underdevelopment, and dependent development. Following examinations of colonialism and theory, specific issues will be examined.
