Overview Since World War II the aim of 'development' has been to ensure that Third World nations take their place in the global community and have an equal voice. However, as the world has moved forward and organisations and governments have evolved, initiatives to help developing nations may have fallen short of their goals, or even done more harm than good. This major develops skills to analyse the intentions and results of international development initiatives, and develops significant theoretical, practical and research skills that can be applied to employment in a range of roles. KEY FEATURES You will focus on the impacts of development and cultural change in the context of key issues such as environment, health, human rights, international law, Indigenous rights and international relations. You will develop your research, communication, presentation and critical analysis skills, enhancing your employment prospects in this field.
