In the first sub-course, theories and methods in economic history are introduced, with the focus on social and economic transformation in the Third World from colonial times until today. Economic development is analyzed in the light of the variety of historical experiences, institutional traditions and cultural patterns throughout the Third World. Can we even talk about a “Third World”? Development strategies, past and present, and their applicability in different institutional settings are discussed, as well as the concepts of growth, development and progress.
Part 2. Economic Development and Demographic Change (5 ECTS)
The second sub-course explores the interplay between population and the economy. The relationship between resources and population growth is explored, as well as the challenge of changing demographic structures. How many hands are needed and how many mouths can be fed? Population and labor force trends are analyzed from the perspectives of age and gender structures, income distribution, education, health and migration.
Part 3. International Business and National Economies (5 ECTS)
The third sub-course explores the emergence and development of international business and the interplay with governments and local entrepreneurship. Experiences from different Third World countries regarding international trade, foreign investment and natural resources are discussed, as well as the consequences of market integration and disintegration. What is fair trade? Who are the winners in the international economy?
