Course description/objectif du cours

The course deals with a number of important questions from the perspective of developing countries. It starts with a general introduction presenting the structural features of developing countries and the evolution of inequality between and within countries both comparatively and in reference to history. The following questions are then studied: inequality, redistribution and development; the “big push” theory and industrialization policies; rural-urban migration and urbanization; institutions and development; development aid and governance. The course is based on development textbooks and on a series of required readings (i.e., they are part of the material to be studied for the final exam).
