Globalisation and International Development (MA)
The process of globalisation is central to an understanding of the contemporary world. The nature of the process and its implications for international development are hotly debated:
Is globalisation leading to increasing international inequality and global poverty or does it provide new opportunities for developing countries?
What is the role of local and international politics?
Has globalisation led to an erosion of national sovereignty or is it contributing to the spread of democracy internationally?
Does globalisation require a radical overhaul of the existing international political and institutional system?
How can global environmental challenges best be met?
This Masters will consider not only the process of globalisation but also the counter-tendencies and resistance to globalisation and how these are played out in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
Please contact us for further information; School of International Development, University of East Anglia (DEV)

Diplomacy of Small States (Short Course e-learning)
Diplomacy is only one of a set of tools available to a country in the pursuit of its foreign policy. Diplomacy operates within a matrix of actions and of interests which collectively determine a country’s foreign policy objectives and affect the achievement of these objectives within the community of nations. Small state diplomacy is characterised by the relative importance that some of the standard factors and conditions which affect diplomacy everywhere, and especially physical, geographical and economic constraints and vulnerabilities, assume in both the definition, as well as the pursuit of policy goals.

Certificate; Diplo Foundation
This course examines the manner in which small states conduct their diplomacy to pursue their foreign policy objectives, and to manage their participation in the global community of nations. The subject takes two aspects as starting premises - that diplomacy as practiced by small states is a subset of the basic themes and methods of diplomacy in general; and that small states, however defined, are necessary and active partners in the global community of nations.Diplomacy is only one of a set of tools available to a country in the pursuit of its foreign policy.

International Development (BA)
This course allows you to combine a breadth of interdisciplinary knowledge in the field of International Development with a disciplinary specialisation, such as Geography or Politics, or a regional specialism, such as East Asian Studies.
You will review contemporary development issues, and examine the progress of key international development goals, such as poverty reduction, and reducing HIV/AIDS and malaria. You will consider the impact of colonialism and the slave trade on developing countries, and examine case-studies to discover how development agencies plan and implement intervention programmes.
You will explore some of the most important international issues in the post-cold war era, and learn about the national and international organisations that promote development. If you wish to take the study abroad option, there is the additional opportunity to study alongside students in less developed countries.
The choice of second subject allows the degree programme to flexibly accommodate different areas of interest.
* If you receive a 2:1 grade average in your first year there is the opportunity to study abroad in semester two of the second year. Destination options are dependent on your second subject.
Current options are to study at the Middle East Technical University in Ankara, Turkey, the University of Ghana in Legon near Accra, or at Hong Kong Baptist University. Modules taken overseas count towards your final degree classification and you will find yourself fully involved in studying alongside local scholars as well as learning about new cultures.
In year one, you examine the divide between North and South, investigate the legacy of colonialism, review development goals, and study your specialist subject.
In year two, you examine theoretical and practi
