Description

Development Geography focuses on the background to, and processes of, economic, political, cultural and social change. Working with case studies drawn predominately from the Asia-Pacific region, this unit examines the history of development processes, the politics of development interventions, linkages between resources, environment and conflict in the developing world, and critical approaches to development. The theoretical background to economic geography and development studies used to frame these examinations is of value to those taking geography majors as well as those enrolled in International and Political Studies, History, Economics and Business. The course provides useful context for those seeking to understand conflict in the region.
