授業の概要と方法

This course is intended to present the issues in international development to introduce students to central themes and practical problems in the subject. And the key topics in international relations, such as globalisation and international politics and economy which profoundly affect the state of international development, are also discussed.
I will employ various documents, videos and case studies whereas possible.

受講生の到達目標

授業外学習の指示

Reading assignments, class slides are uploaded beforehand at manaba. I assume students have read the assignments in advance. Your proactive commitment is essential.

You are also expected to check the related terms in every class. There is a good glossary section in a World Bank publication, Soubbotina (2004), below.

However, some indicators in Soubbotina (2004) are obsolete. The latest data is available at 'World Development Indicators' and 'Atlas of Global Development', listed below.
