GEOGRAPHIES OF GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT

Catalog description

(Slashed with GEOG 44010 and GEOG 54010 ) This course examines the political economy of development. More narrowly, we examine the historical geography of agricultural transformations and capitalist development. We draw from case studies from different regions to interpret differential patterns of development and political-economic change. Emphasis is placed on the creation, structure, and operation of the capitalist agro-food system and its impact on small-scale farmers and landless rural workers.
