7.00 ECTS (2.00 SWS), SPL 24 - Kultur- und Sozialanthropologie
Prüfungsimmanente Lehrveranstaltung

For a positive assessment of the course, the successful completion of all partial performances is required.
As part of the assessment, plagiarism detection software (Turnitin in Moodle) may be used.
The use of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT) for text production is only permitted if explicitly allowed or required by the course instructor (e.g., for specific assignments). To ensure good academic practice, the course instructor may require an oral reflection ('grade-relevant discussion') of the submitted work, which must be successfully completed.
If a partial performance has been obtained dishonestly, e.g., by cheating on an exam or test, plagiarizing in a written assignment, or falsifying signatures on attendance lists, the entire course will be graded as 'not assessed' and recorded accordingly.

Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The course focuses on how international financial flows affect the macroeconomic dimension of development. It also studies the policies that can be adopted in view of these forces as well as their effects. Theory, history, empirical evidence, and related political considerations will be discussed.

The course is taught at an introductory level, and on site.
