The aims of this module are to study the challenges that states face in the developing world and the role that NGOs and foreign aid can play in easing or exacerbating these challenges.
The module will pay special attention to the development of the state, its role in economic development, and whether or not it can make a difference in lifting deeply impoverished states out of poverty.
The module will investigate the challenges such as debt, famine and food insecurity, water management issues, disease, natural disasters, and corruption. In doing so the module will assess how foreign aid and NGOs can contribute. The module will focus on the cases of Bangladesh and Haiti and explore the role that NGOs and foreign aid have had in impacting these countries' development.
