Emerging Economies and International Development (MSc)
The MSc course provides you with high-quality post-graduate teaching and research training in the analysis of emerging economies. It offers a distinctive approach to the study of development by focusing on rising economic powers and some of the questions surrounding their emergence as key players in global politics and the economy. It also draws on social scientific expertise from across other departments in the Faculties of Social Sciences & Public Policy and Arts & Humanities.
This course focuses on reviewing economic development theory to ask whether emerging economies offer a new model or models of development. It looks at the strategies that they have adopted to promote development, how inclusive and sustainable or enduring these new strategies are and how emerging markets solve the difficult problems of promoting growth over the longer term. While investigating this last question we will discuss how these countries handle the development and diffusion of technology, how they manage trade and financial flows, how they balance the role of the state and the market, and how they deal with problems of institutional underdevelopment and weak systems of law and accountability.
Duration: 1 year FT / 2 years PT, September to September

2020 Summer Academy on World Risk and Adaptation Futures: Social Protection, 21-25 September 2020, Jakarta, Indonesia
A leading global challenge today centers on the capacity to make appropriate decisions that will navigate countries and communities towards a safe, sustainable future. Uncertainty about future risk trends plays a central role in whether or not policymakers and practitioners can make decisions that help society adapt to climate risks and capture the opportunities ahead. Their decisions need to be informed by data assessments of future changes in social protection as it has a substantial influence on the future trajectories and patterns in exposure and vulnerability towards climate change hazards. This is especially true in highly dynamic developing countries and emerging economies. Changes in social protection systems including the insurance regimes will also greatly influence future levels of vulnerability.
In spite of this pressing need, decision makers often do not get the full picture about future risk trends and adaptation pathways. This is in part because science that supports decision-making focuses primarily on modeling and projecting future trends in environmental hazards, such as sea level rise and cyclone activity and tends to neglect social and economic transitions and their effects on future exposure and vulnerability trends.
The 2020 Summer Academy will take place in Jakarta, Indonesia from 21 to 25 September. It will have a special focus on social protection and its implication for future vulnerability and exposure towards climate risks. Young professionals, including academics, policymakers and practitioners are invited to apply by 20 April 2020.

The field of media is constantly shifting. In the last decade the changes have been rapid, and a new media landscape has emerged, reshaping not only consumers but also creators and distributors of media. Today's digital media is characterised by participation and cooperation; media are wholly collaborative in terms of both production and consumption, and this is what is meant by the term ‘collaborative media’.What will I learn?
