PSCI 366 - Development in Africa

4 credits
This course provides a close examination of development-the history, the dominant theories, the successes and failures-focusing on the African continent. The intent is to give students an understanding of how attitudes toward development have changed, what alternative approaches have been or are being tried, and how international efforts have interacted with African politics to create the current conditions on the continent. A comparative approach is also employed, to examine why strategies that worked in other places, for example Asia or Latin America, have been less successful in Africa.
