Pre-requisite: Junior Classification
The course examines the issue of development since the 1950s in North Africa and the Middle East. State policies and theories of development are studied in light of actual project implementation. Changes in the theoretical orientation towards development, the increasing role of NGOs, the rise of grass roots organizations, appropriate technology, appropriate development, and gender issues since the 1970s are discussed. The course brings the discussion from a general coverage of the MENA region to the specifics of development implementation in Morocco.
