Course description

This course provides a critical introduction to development; it serves as the foundation course for the Master’s in Sustainable Development Practice (SDP), and is a required course for the Graduate Certificate in Sustainable Development Practice. Both conceptual and practical issues are addressed in relation to each course topic with a multi-disciplinary approach that focuses on the inter-relationship among approaches, comparing Latin American and African contexts. Participants learn to describe and analyze complex development issues, paying particular attention to cross-sector linkages and regional comparisons.
