We have three research groups:
- Political Economy & Institutions Poverty,
- Inequality & Inclusive Growth
- Social Justice
Research expertise spans political science, sociology, social anthropology, development economics, history, geography and management. We have strong regional expertise and collaborations in Latin America and SE Asia, in China and India. The African Leadership Centre hosted by DID brings unique connections with the African continent and offers a separate programme in Leadership Studies with reference to Security and Development.
Duration: 3-4 years f/t or 6-7 years p/t
Study mode: Full-time, Part-time

King’s International Development Institute (IDI)
The Department of International Development (DID) at King's has a different agenda to traditional development studies in the UK and wider afield. It specifically focuses on 'emerging economies,' both to explore the sources of their success as well as understand the major development challenges they continue to face. These fast growing and changing societies raise new questions about the global economy, national development and promoting sustainable and equitable growth.Research at the department seeks to explore critical perspectives on economic growth, modernisation and ‘progress’ and to do so by exploring context-specific economic, social and political change in these countries rather than applying prescriptive models of development.

Economics and Finance, M.Sc.
In particular, the programme will impart to you cutting-edge methods, applications and models found in economics, corporate finance and the analysis of international financial markets. Through experiments in game theory, behavioural economics analysis and empirical market analysis, you will develop and learn to employ a sophisticated research methodology. The multidisciplinary curriculum investigates not only law and economic issues, but also incorporates important macroeconomic and social issues as well. Among other things, you will examine how conflicting viewpoints and actions can negatively affect competition as well as the financial and goods markets, illustrating both the importance and usefulness of value-orientated, ethical behaviour in business. This multifaceted approach will enable you to effectively examine and evaluate economic issues in financial and competitive markets in both national and international contexts.
The degree programme is taught in English. Over the course of your studies, you will hone your proficiency to near-native levels while becoming fluent in the advanced terminology and nomenclature of the highest economic and fiscal circles at the international level. This adds a further dimension to your profile that helps you stand out as an internationally-oriented expert of economics and finance.

Le genre au temps des pandémies: Comprendre les crises sanitaires et planifier des réponses genrées, du 4 nov. au 8 déc. 2020
English version coming on February 2021
Les questions de genre passent souvent au second plan face à l'urgence d'agir en temps de pandémie. Les crises du VIH/Sida, MERS, H1N1, Ebola ou Zika ont pourtant démontré l’importance de l’approche intersectionnelle et genrée pour répondre de manière adéquate aux besoins différenciés des populations. La pandémie de COVID-19, au scénario sans précédent, a une fois encore exacerbé les inégalités et éclairé les discriminations fondées sur le genre, la classe sociale, l’âge, le groupe ethnique et le handicap. Mais elle a aussi confirmé la capacité des femmes à résister et s’organiser face aux situations de crise, et entrouvert des fenêtres de changement. Il devient urgent de tirer les leçons du passé, de s'outiller, et de planifier des réponses stratégiques qui réduisent durablement les inégalités de genre et endiguent les effets des crises qui les font perdurer.
Public cible
Cette formation s’adresse aux responsables et praticien·ne·s des secteurs public, privé et non gouvernemental ainsi qu'aux chercheur·e·s qui souhaitent s’approprier des méthodes et outils pour intégrer le genre dans la gestion des pandémies.
Objectifs
- Analyser comment les pandémies produisent et/ou aggravent les inégalités dans les différentes régions du monde via une approche genrée et intersectionnelle
- Comprendre, à travers les approches féministes, l'impact des modèles de développement et des politiques publiques sur les inégalités structurelles de genre
- Acquérir des méthodes et des outils pour adapter ou élaborer des programmes et des projets plus inclusifs et plus égalitaires
- Planifier des réponses stratégiques genrées à court, moyen, et/ou long terme

Political Economy of Emerging Markets (MSc)
The course provides you with high-quality post-graduate teaching and training in the analysis of emerging economies. It offers a distinctive approach to the study of development by focusing on rising economic powers with a particular focus on national development strategies, economic and political institutions, and the political processes that influence economic reforms. We are based at King’s Department of International Development, which enables us to draw on social scientific expertise from across other departments in the faculties of Social Sciences & Public Policy and Arts & Humanities as well as King’s Global Institutes.
The course critically assesses economic development theory to ask whether emerging economies offer a new model or models of development. Our main focus is examining the strategies that emerging economies have adopted to promote development. This includes asking how sustainable or enduring these new strategies are and how emerging markets solve the difficult problems of promoting growth over the longer term. To answer this last question, we investigate how emerging economies deal with the development and diffusion of technology, manage trade and financial flows, balance the role of the state and the market, and tackle problems of institutional underdevelopment and weak systems of law and accountability.
Duration: 1 year FT / 2 years PT, September to September
