Description

The module aims to introduce students to questions of regional development, planning and policy in a global context. It critically assesses what we mean by local and regional development, the values and ethics that underpin the search for regional development and the question of who gains and who loses from different forms of development. It examines theories of local and regional development and situates these in their historical and geographical context. It pays particular attention to the governance of regional development, the role of institutions in shaping patterns of development and the impact of public policy.

The module is concerned crucially with regional development planning and policy in an international context using a range of regional case studies, which aim to highlight the dilemmas and challenges faced by planners and policy-makers.

By the end of the module, students should:

- Have a deeper awareness of the global character of local and regional development processes

- Understand the main forces influencing the prospects for local and regional development

- Be able to critically analyse different approaches to the promotion of local and regional development

- Understand the role of governance, institutions and public policy in shaping patterns of local and regional development
