Welcome to International Development & Social Change. This online course will explore different approaches to and perspectives on 'development' and the ways that global policies and initiatives interact with local circumstances to generate unique results. You will be expected to think critically while you analyze global problems and develop intentional solutions.

* Appreciate how social systems and economic systems are interconnected,
* Understand global economic restructuring and the unique socio-historical circumstances that shape development policies and practices world-wide,
