| ACADEMIC CONTENT | |
| Overall objective |
The Foundation Course provides students with key theoretical and conceptional knowledge required for a successful completion of the Global and Development Studies MA program. Offering a theoretical understanding of global and development processes as the results of interlinked practices and structures that cut across Global North-South divides, the course allows students to analyse global social, political and economic actors, relations and institutions, including their histories, contemporary manifestations and related power hierarchies. On that basis, it familiarizes students with academic discussions on resulting global and development challenges, such as conflicts, geopolitical competition, questions of justice, migration, inequality and sustainability, and their effects on societies, markets, and political orders. |
| Detailed description of content |
This course navigates the complex landscape of global and development processes, emphasizing their interlinked nature across Global North-South divides. Organized along 12 sessions, and through mix of historical insights and contemporary discussions, students gain analytical tools to comprehend and engage with contemporary global challenges like conflicts, inequality, and sustainability in today’s interconnected world. |
