Developing countries control most of the world's natural resources, house most of the its people, are the location of most of the its current armed conflicts, and are the target of a great deal of its investment. An understanding of the politics of these countries, therefore, is required in our present era of "globalization." Students in this course will explore the distinctive nature of political systems and political processes in developing countries. The course will address fundamental questions such as how do different political systems work in less developed countries? What is the role of economics in these countries' political processes? Are there fundamental differences between the politics of developed and less developed countries? What are the distinctive problems faced by developing countries? Students will investigate these issues with reference to numerous concrete cases drawn from a variety of developing countries. |
