PPAD 533/5155 - Governance of the Global Economy (3 cr.)
Prerequisites
The course explores the evolving status of developing countries in the multilateral system. Are developing countries having a role that allows them to promote their legitimate interests in global international governance and the multilateral trading system? Does International Cooperation work in their favor? Going through the different development paradigms in the UN system, post WW II Bretton Wood system, the course investigates how developing countries remain sidelined from global governance and continue to be mere standard takers.
Description
This course will review the foundations of multilateral cooperation for development and the current development issues tackled by the United Nations system such as poverty, employment, food security, the environment and population. It will examine the processes through which multilateral approaches are defined; the attitudes towards these approaches of great, middle range powers and developing countries; as well as the principles and means of multilateral action. The realization of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) will be particularly studied.
When Offered
