About this course

Global development with politics addresses the profound inequalities between and within countries, asking why some parts of the world remain poor while others prosper, what the relationship is between political systems and development outcomes, and what role international institutions, NGOs, and states play in enabling or obstructing progress. The discipline is genuinely interdisciplinary, drawing on economics, political science, sociology, history, and geography, and it requires you to think across scales from local community dynamics to global governance structures. At the University of East Anglia, this three-year, full-time programme benefits from UEA's long-standing strength in development studies, one of the field's founding departments in the UK. You will engage with theories of development and underdevelopment, examine the political economy of aid and trade, study the governance
