Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
When the world is facing radical transformation in the global economy and a new ideological orientation on development, it is expected that developing countries would adapt their developmental policies to diverse changes in environment. Expected changes are so complex and intensive that new adaptation requires not only response to external environment and existing socio-economic conditions, but also a new approach to governance. This course attempts to provide: first, a synopsis of the theories of economic growth and development, with a view to understand the development problems of undeveloped countries and to assess current approaches for the alleviation of these problems; second, a review of recent movements for the improvement of government policies and administrative practices, so as to generate an improved approach to governance and development; and third, an examination of the development role of major international development institutions, including the World Bank and the IMF. The course will heavily focus on the road to development; on the importance of good governance; and on the assessment of the extent of the conditionality imposed on developing countries by major international donors, under the scope of their Official Development Assistance (ODA).
