S D 4600 - Land, Livelihoods, and Agrarian Development (3)

When Offered: On Demand
This course introduces students to key concepts and debates in critical agrarian and peasant studies and deepens students’ understanding of the connections between land rights and governance, sustainable livelihoods, and rural development. It examines the power relationships and North-South inequalities that are reproduced or challenged in policy discourses of agrarian development. The course provides students with historical and analytical frameworks to examine different trajectories of agrarian change within the broader contexts of colonialism, political economy, and the international system of sovereign nation-states.
Prerequisites: S D 2700 ; or permission of the instructor.
