90-815 International Development Management
6 units, Carnegie Mellon University
In an increasingly interconnected world, national problems take on an international hue, both in terms of problems encountered the ongoing Covid19 pandemic, or the financial meltdown of 2008 are good examples and solutions sought as evidenced in, for example, the application of new ways of rice farming in Nepal from the experiences of the Philippines. The latter also has implications for how knowledge is generated, codified, and shared across borders. Thus, interconnectedness lies at the core of the field of study contained in International Development. Regardless of the sector eg, education or infrastructure or theme eg, capacity building or poverty reduction, understanding how international development is enhanced, and the role of institutions in that process, is a very critical and interesting field of study. Students that seek to work towards a better world, regardless of their sectors of expertise and interest, will benefit from understanding the field of International Development Management IDM.
