| Subject Overview: | This subject provides an introduction to the history of social and economic change within regions of the world, focusing especially on the second half of the twentieth century. It introduces students to the trends and debates about rural development, industrialization, urbanization, environment and development, gender and population, health and education, violence and development, and the agents of development. As well as identifying trends in these sectors of development and in different regions, there will be a case study of one particular development issue in one place (for example: peace and development in E Timor; famine in Ethiopia; transition and inequality in China). |
