PSCI 4103 - Developing World Politics

3 credits

[Meets the Core Curriculum Writing Practice Requirement] The so-called Third World is one of the most dynamic and yet unchanging areas of our world. The nations of the developing world struggle constantly in an ever-changing global environment with unchanging issues that tie it down and keep it from achieving the development that it desires and needs to alleviate the pervasive poverty that exists. During the course we examine the issues that the nations of the developing world face. We will look at potential solutions and the barriers to these solutions. We survey a multitude of issues rather than probe in depth only one or two issues. It will be the task of the student to explore issues in depth.
