International Development Studies

International development studies has as its primary focus an analysis of the problems experienced by southern countries in the Caribbean, Latin America, Asia, and Africa; and of the social, cultural, economic, historical, and political structures and forces that underlie and produce these problems. Another concern of the program is the development strategies pursued by groups of people and governments in these developing countries. An evaluation of the different models and strategies for national and local development that countries pursue in an increasingly global context is an important feature of the program.
