Master in Development Studies
Specialisation Governance, Policy and Political Economy
Globalization and decentralization have changed the ways in which people, organisations and territories are governed. They have also affected ways in which different actors are able to voice their interests and act upon them.
The Major addresses processes and problems of governance and policy in relation to local, national and international development. It combines a thorough theoretical understanding with a practical, policy-oriented approach. This Major offers students the possibility to specialize further in the areas of international political economy, local development strategies, and public policy and management.
Target audience Specialisation Governance, Policy and Political Economy
This Major offers essential insights for people involved in influencing, preparing and managing policy, whether employed (or active) in the public, private or civil society sector, and whether operating primarily at local, national or international level.
