Overview
This course introduces the student to the major theories of economic development. The
central concern is the analysis of factors contributing to economic development in
general, but in particular in low-income countries, primarily located in Africa, Asia and
Latin America. The complex economic interrelationships in the process of economic
development are analysed, including the inter-sectoral and spatial dimensions, along with
the impact of these economic processes on the larger social and political domains.
