For decades, the rich countries of the West dominated in economic, political and cultural terms, while the countries of what we once called the 'Third World' were systematically underdeveloped. This picture is rapidly changing and the West's dominance is now increasingly challenged.
In this course we study globalization, development and underdevelopment, and international movements for change.
