Synopsis

This unit focuses on exploring economic and political theory that  can
be  used to interpret economic growth and development experiences  and
to  inform  the  choice, implementation and assessment of  development
policies.  The  experience of selected world  economic  and  political
systems is explored to provide a context for drawing conclusions about
the  success  or  otherwise  of different policy  settings,  political
systems and institutional arrangements. Particular emphasis is  placed
upon   globalisation,   global   institutions,   income   and   wealth
distribution and the link between economics and politics  in  economic
development.  Students  may choose to do case  studies  on  particular
countries.
