Topics covered include the meaning and measurement of gross national product, business cycles, the effects of government expenditure and taxation, causes of inflation and unemployment, and international trade and the balance of payments. |

Course Description | Development is a complex process that involves substantial changes in the way society operates. Much of this shift is usually beyond individual or state control. During the post war period there was renewed concern to understand and theorize the process of transformation and growth taking place in the Third World countries experiencing low levels of development.
Today much of the theorization of development has been centered on explaining the economic, political and social forces that produce, maintain and or change international inequalities. In view of the above, the course Theories and Concepts of Development has been developed particularly for undergraduate students undertaking courses in development related fields as a requirement for the award of first degrees and diplomas. |
Course Objectives | This course unit aims at form and all round student with a deep insight and understanding of development issues. At the end of the course students will be expected to have understood and appreciated challenges of development and be in position to develop alternative strategies to guide the process in the Third World. |
Course Outcomes | At the end of the course, students will:

Course Description | In any environment of actual or potential conflict, finding common ground and building bridges can be difficult, risky tasks. Fortunately, to help negotiators improve their chances of success, there is a substantial body of experience from which to draw. Since ancient times, diplomats and political philosophers have written extensively about negotiation. But you don’t have to have any kind of special gift to hold your own in a serious negotiation; negotiating techniques can be learned. |
Course Objectives | Since the latter half of the 20th century, the subject has been studied systematically by both academics and practitioners. Drawing on academic studies and practitioner experience, this course will focus on the techniques and skills of successful negotiation. Some people appear to be born negotiators. Others don’t like negotiating and may even find the process intimidating. |
Course Outcomes | It helps to realize that we all negotiate as part of our daily lives—at home with friends and family, at work with colleagues and supervisors, and in the marketplace with partners and competitors. Most of the principles that apply in these negotiations apply in every context at all levels. |

Course Description | Community Development: This course will examine methods in which underserved community residents develop their own resources and services at the local level. Students will learn about the ways in which residents can take initiative and help themselves through community-based business and economic development, health and human services, popular education, and housing and neighborhood revitalization projects, with or without assistance by outside agencies or practitioners |
Course Objectives | Innovative examples of community development in urban and rural areas as well as community development that occurs among communities of interest, such as women, gay men and lesbians, or people with disabilities will be reviewed. Special emphasis will be placed on organizations that involve individuals and families in positive efforts to integrate human, social, economic, and community development to build upon the strengths and assets rather than focus solely on the problems of individuals. . |
Course Outcomes | Important findings included learning that (1) the concepts of capacity and sustainability were considered interconnected; (2) partnership was perceived as both a facilitator and an outcome of CBPR; (3) sustainability was linked to “transfer of knowledge” from one generation to another within a community; and (4) capacity and sustainability were enhanced when goals were shared and health outcomes were achieved. |

Course Description |

Course Objectives | The global economic crisis of 2008-2009 exposed systemic failings at the core of economic policymaking worldwide. The crisis came on top of several other crises, including skyrocketing and highly volatile world food and energy prices and climate change. This book argues that new policy approaches are needed to address such devastating global development challenges and to avoid the potentially catastrophic consequences to livelihoods worldwide that are likely to result from present approaches. |
Course Outcomes | The contributors to the book are independent development experts brought together to identify a development strategy capable of promoting a broad-based economic recovery and at the same time guaranteeing social equity and environmental sustainability both within countries and internationally. This new development approach seeks to promote the reforms needed to improve global governance, providing a more equitable distribution of global public goods.. |

Course Description | The course consists of three themes that are derived from three connected dimensions of the relations between the exercise of state power and various identities and forms of organization in society in different regions in the global south: i) development, ii) democracy, iii) political identities. |
Course Objectives | The first course theme addresses different perspectives on economic and social development and underdevelopment, with special attention paid to the role of the state in shaping these processes. The second theme discusses forms of political rule, and introduces different explanations of democracy and authoritarian rule. The theme also discusses theories of how these forms of political rule are related to levels of development. The third theme discusses how different political identities are connected to the organization of political institutions. This theme pays special attention to the question of how national identities are linked to other political identities based on gender, class, ethnicity and religion, how identities affect and are affected by the organization of state institutions, and how this in turn is linked to issues of conflict and stability |

Course Description | Decentralization is a worldwide reality, as most countries are already engaged in a more or less advanced form of it. The following figures illustrate this trend: in the 1980s local governments around the world collected on average 15% of revenues and spent 20% of expenditures. By the late 1990s those figures had risen to 19% and 25% and had even doubled in certain countries. Moving beyond the fiscal arena, major public services such as education or health have also been transferred to local governments and political and electoral reforms have taken place. News headlines testify to the importance of local governance and local governments’ issues around the world. |
Course Objectives | The first implication for us, and for policy-makers and donors, is that the debate on whether decentralization is good or bad in itself has lost its relevance. The key question is no longer whether a country should further decentralize or whether donors should support such a process. Although in different forms and to varying degrees decentralization is there, it is part of the reality in which governments, other actors and citizens need to operate. |
Course Outcomes | when you have completed the study of this course, you will have acquired the knowledge and tools to:

Punctual arrival is important as a mark of respect to your instructor, to maintain the enthusiasm of the group and enable the teacher to deliver the class in the structured way as planned.
To reinforce the importance placed upon this aspect of a student’s performance, the academic board has decided that the following conditions be applied:
- Any student arriving more than ten minutes late for a class will be recorded as present, but late. This will be taken into consideration prior to issue of the results for that course, as mentionedabove.
- Arrival more than twenty minutes after the scheduled class commencement will mean that the student will be recorded as `absent` for academicpurposes.
Students involved in University-sponsored activities may be given special consideration. Each student is responsible for conferring with professors regarding participation in such activities.

Course Description | Across the world, children are at risk from violence, abuse, exploitation, and neglect. Conflict and natural disasters have forced millions to flee their homes and confront the dangers of migration and displacement. Commercial sexual exploitation and trafficking, child labor, and child marriage are problems in many countries. At-risk children and adolescents need their rights enforced if we are to protect them from harm and to ensure that they develop to their full potential. |
Course Objectives | Led by Jacqueline Bhabha, Research Director of the Harvard FXB Center for Health and Human Rights, this course will teach you the causes and consequences of child protection failures. You will consider the strategies, international laws, standards, and resources required to protect all children. You will be able to link legal frameworks and child-rights approaches to the work of policymakers, lawyers, health workers, educators, law enforcement, and social workers. Learners will come to understand how they can ensure the protection of children and apply child protection strategies to their own work. |
