Politics of North-South Relations
Themes
This course explores the complex relations between the developed world and Global South in historical and contemporary settings through latest thinking. It engages critical scholarship within International Politics and International Political Economy to examine salient factors in North-South relations such as dependency and interdependence, trade, development aid, global governance architecture, and the emerging South-South cooperation broadly defined. As part of that, it will look at trade and investment patterns, debt, global poverty alleviation strategies as well as the impact of globalization on the unity and bargaining power of the global South. It will also highlight specific regimes such as promoting democracy and human rights, environmental treaties/protocols, infectious diseases, etc., around which these relations revolve.
