The process of globalisation
is central to an understanding of the contemporary world.
The nature of the process and its implications for international
development are hotly debated. Is globalisation leading
to increasing international inequality and global poverty
or does it provide new opportunities for developing countries?
What is the role of local and international politics? Has
globalisation led to an erosion of national sovereignty
or is it contributing to the spread of democracy internationally?
Does globalisation require a radical overhaul of the existing
international political and institutional system? How can
global environmental challenges best be met?
The MA in Globalisation and International Development analyses
the key debates and perspectives on globalisation. It discusses
the economic, political, social and environmental dimensions
of globalisation. Postgraduate Students with an interest
in global issues will be provided with the tools to critically
analyse the process of globalisation and its impact on international
development. This Masters degree considers not only the
process of globalisation but also the counter-tendencies
and resistance to globalization and how these are played
out in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Study will be informed
by case studies, theory, workshops, seminars, debates and
forms of media.

Interest in the global environment
and development has never been so intense. Environmental
issues and problems have long been on local and national
agendas, but increasingly over the last thirty years, on
international agendas too. All environmental issues derive
from natural processes, but at the same time are social
and political, and it is this unique interdisciplinary approach
which drives the MSc in Environment and International Development.
First introduced in 1997, this popular Masters course has
expanded in scope and appeal to natural resource specialists
and agriculturalists, as well as those from a social science
background who work or are interested in and wish to study
development issues, sustainability and the environment.

Objectives/
Content |
|
The purpose of this short course
is to equip non-specialists with a broad understanding of
what climate change may mean for low-income populations
and what the scope and prospects are for adapting to change
in the context of development issues and poverty reduction.
The course does not set out to provide a practical ‘toolkit’
guide for policy and practice. Instead it is designed to
equip participants with a deeper awareness of the ideas,
opportunities and trade-offs represented by adaptation and
mitigation: an understanding that is increasingly needed
if we are to achieve effective action on climate change.
Drawing on staff from some of the world’s leading
research institutes on climate change and development (including
the School of Development Studies at the University of East
Anglia and UK’s The Tyndall Centre for Climate Change
Research), participants will gain a state-of-the-art knowledge
and have the opportunity to develop their analytical skills
in this field.
Expert inputs to the course will include:
* Climate science
* International policy and implementation mechanisms
* Impacts and vulnerability in the context of development
* Mitigation and development pathways
* Linkages with poverty reduction |

Participants'
Profile |
|
This course is designed for
people who want to gain a greater understanding of the implications
of climate change for developing countries and of the processes,
issues and debates surrounding adaptation and mitigation.
It is aimed particularly at building the knowledge base
of professional staff from government agencies and NGOs
who do not have existing specialism in the field but who
may have new responsibility or interest in the integration
of climate change management into development planning,
projects and policy.
To participate effectively, it is necessary to have full
workshop level competence in English. |
