This course will survey critical development issues, including understandings and definitions of poverty and sustainable development, broad development theories from modernization to post-development, the historical context of decolonization, and the roles of key local, national, and international development actors. It will focus primarily on countries of the global South – Africa, Asia, and Latin America – but also examine how Canada participates in the local, national, and global dynamics of development and underdevelopment.
