MSc Global Development (Politics, Governance and Development Policy) is a forward-thinking course that critically examines the intricate relationships between politics, governance, and development policy in the Global South. It provides students with the tools to analyse and address the political dimensions that underpin and influence development outcomes, equipping them to engage with one of the most critical issues on the international development agenda. Core Focus: Politics, Governance, and Development Policy The course focuses on the barriers and pathways toward achieving more legitimate, democratic, and pro-poor governance across global, national, and local levels. It interrogates how political institutions, processes, and power dynamics influence development outcomes, as well as the evolution of governance as a central theme in international development since the 1980s, from discursive paradigms to material interventions. The MSc Global Development (Politics, Governance and Development Policy) provides a unique platform for understanding and addressing the political complexities of development. By encouraging students with critical knowledge, analytical skills, and practical expertise, it prepares them to lead in crafting innovative solutions to the governance and policy challenges facing the Global South, advancing more just and democratic development outcomes.
