1 Introduction to International Development Department of Urban Studies and Planning Spring 2013: TR (2:30-4:00) Rm Instructor: Victoria del Campo Office: (Office Hours: Thursday, 4:00-6:00 or by appointment) T.A.: Benjamin Bradlow Course Description: This course introduces undergraduates to the political economy of international economic development planning, using an applied, quantitative approach. Why has development taken place in some countries but not in others? We will move through the major theories and models of development and underdevelopment, providing tools to understand the mechanisms and processes behind economic growth and broader notions of progress. The course offers an alternative view of development, focusing on the persistence of dichotomies in current theory and practice. Using specific cases, students will explore how different combinations of actors and institutions at various scales may promote or inhibit economic development. Students are asked to re-examine conventional knowledge and engage critically with the assumptions behind current thinking and policy. The course is composed of five modules. The first introduces basic macroeconomic concepts, measurements and historical considerations necessary to understand theoretical and empirical perspectives on economic development. The second module focuses on the theories and models that have attempted to explain the fundamental causes and mechanisms of growth. The third section explores practice, as the strategies and trajectories that latecomers to development have assumed, considering their institutions and the challenges of 1

2 the international trade system. The fourth module concentrates on specific practical challenges and how these affect policy and development outcomes at different scales. Finally, the fifth module introduces some emerging patterns of development and their sustainability in the face of global economic and environmental instability. Course Requirements There will be six graded components for this course: attendance, a video presentation (presentation dates are negotiable as per class preferences), class discussion, a short essay (1-2 pages); a five-page (max) take-home, midterm exam, and a ten-page final paper (that can be part of an assignment you are already working on for another class) due at the end of the semester. Component Due Date Percentage of Grade Attendance (10%) Video Presentation TBD (15%) Class Discussion (15%) Short Essay March 12 (15%) Midterm Exam March 19 (20%) Final Paper May 24 (25%) Readings and other class materials All readings will be available on Stellar. For most classes, the required reading will be the equivalent of a short chapter (around 20 pages), in addition to selected notes and case study materials when appropriate. We will also post class presentations, relevant news articles, blogs, podcasts, and/or videos. The latter are for your reference (recommended only), and are not listed on the syllabus. Starting February 21, we will send optional questions to guide your reading before class. Grading 2

Each group will make a movie (using scenes from existing movies) that centers on the topic of income distribution. Class discussion Students are asked to participate fully in class discussions on an ongoing basis, engaging the reading material. Midterm Exam Students will complete a five-page, double-spaced take-home, open-book midterm exam, with choice among three questions, given to them in class and due 48 hours later. Final Paper to be submitted no later than May 24 Students will complete a ten-page final paper, double-space. This paper is in the nature of an argument, not an empirical study.
