ECO 731 Economic Development

Economic development is always a highly contested concept. Scholars disagree on the definition, causes, and consequences of development. In this course we study a wide range of development-related questions in a comparative historical context. We will discuss the divergence of east and west, the center-periphery relationship in the world economy, the rise and fall of developmental state, the green revolution and other issues including demographic change and food security.
