This course introduces students to the field of Development Geography. It begins with an overview of the changing position of the Global South in the broader global political-economy, followed by series of lectures on major current development-related issues in Asia, Africa and Latin America. With ample cases, the multi-faced processes of development will be illustrated and discussed, underlining the inter-related economic, social, cultural, environmental and political aspects of development.
