Streams (24 credits)
Stream 2: States and Governance
The courses in this stream focus on how political institutions shape developmental processes. Some courses analyze
states and recognize how some promote development by providing diverse developmental goods while others impede
development by preying on their peoples. Other courses focus on regimes and consider how political rights and
participation, or their absences, affect developmental processes. Finally, several courses consider factors that make
possible effective states and regimes.
