Il corso si prefigge di fornire gli studenti di strumenti analitici adeguati per una comprensione avanzata e solida dei complessi processi di sviluppo economico. Questo obiettivo sarà perseguito collegando la parte teorica a questioni di politica pubblica a livello globale. L'introduzione di approcci diversi e la loro ferma connessione all'interno di una prospettiva interdisciplinare e critica, hanno lo scopo di gettare le basi per competenze sia a livello di analisi che per ruoli di responsabilità sul campo.
