COURSE OBJECTIVE
The

institutions, economic policies and industrialization policies. The course also
considers the implications of these policies in different country groups.
COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND

The
primary requirements of the course are to keep current with the readings and to
participate in the classroom discussion. The students are also expected to write
and present a paper. The paper should be 10-15 pages, with 20 pages as the
