Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this lecture series of the Master's in Development Studies, different dimensions of inequality are presented from a transdisciplinary perspective. Using concrete thematic fields and regional case studies, the aim is to show how local articulations of inequality are embedded in global processes.Topics addressed by the units include the historical and current effects of colonialism and racism, the unequal distribution of income and wealth, the global political economy and financial capitalism, the international division of labor and ecological inequality.

Assessment and permitted materials

Written test (four dates: 1st exam date January 29, 2021; three more dates during the summer term 2021 will be announced in time). Two short essays concerning questions which refer to two or more lectures respectively will have to be written. Any materials may be used during the exam. Evaluation will refer to the ability to handle the facts and - in particular - the ability to analytically deal with the topic.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

More than 8 points in the final test; maximum 16 points. 9-10 points: sufficient, 11-12 points: satisfactory, 13-14 point: good, 15-16 points: very good.
