COURSE DESCRIPTION

Using evidence-based research done at the Development Centre (annual flagship reports, policy briefs and working papers), this course covers the role of emerging and developing economies in the changing world economy as well as policies needed to achieve a fairer, better and stronger economic growth. The course will present the current issues concerning development such as social cohesion, middle class, informality, migration, education, fiscal policy, infrastructure, financial development and remittances. The course will look at social and economic policies that should be implemented to exploit better opportunities for development in African and Latin American economies.
