O que eu aprenderei?

The MSc Global Development programme provides a solid interdisciplinary social science formation in development theory and practice and develops students’ capacities for independent and critical analysis.

Development Studies is a dynamic field concerned with processes of change in the South —social and economic, political and cultural — and the major policy challenges they present to efforts to overcome poverty and insecurity.

  • Neoliberalism and its critiques.
  • Industrialisation, labour and capital.
  • State failure, poverty and insecurity.
  • Gender, race and class analysis.
  • NGOs, civil society and social movements.
  • Development organisations and development practice.
  • Globalisation, commodity chains and trade.
  • Agrarian change, peasantry and land.
