Description
This course examines post-colonial societies and governments in a globalizing world, with a focus on the historic, economic, and social forces that are involved when societies make the transition to locally-led economic development and nation building activities. The challenges associated with creating social, economic, and political opportunities are explored. While the focus is on nation building by indegenous societies of the Americas, cases are also included from Africa and Asia.
