TAFAPDC01U Compulsory course: Politics, Development and Change in Africa
This interdisciplinary course aims at investigating both the particular aspects of, and the inter-connectedness between, politics, development and change in diverse African settings, as well as in relation to Africa’s position in the world. In doing so, the course pays attention to key ideas and discourses on the one hand, and social, political and economic actors and institutions on the other, as they express themselves through/within given empirical contexts. Core African political and developmental arenas and their dynamic interactions will be explored conceptually, historically, and through contemporary case examples.
