The Syllabus

  • Economic development needs polities that are centralised and inclusive. 
  • No society starts with such a polity. Starting from anarchy, what determines whether a centralised state emerges?

  • Economic development needs polities that are centralised and inclusive. 
  • No society starts with such a polity. What are the factors that develop a centralised state into an inclusive one?

  • Economic development needs an alignment between power and identities. 
  • What happens when power and identities are misaligned and how can that misalignment be addressed?

  • Economic development depends upon exploiting scale and specialisation, 
  • but poor societies start with neither. How can government policies promote or inhibit the exploitation of scale and specialisation?

  • The political, social and economic processes covered in previous modules are fundamentally internal. 
  • External influences are peripheral but may still matter, for good or ill.

  • The details of the final assignment and instructions on how to complete it will be available in this module.
