DEMOCRACY AND DEVELOPMENT (January 2023)

The module is meant to give an in-depth treatise of democracy and thereafter underscore the nexus between democracy and development. In all its constituent courses, the programme aims to equip the students with the ability to critically assess the competing theories of development and to analyse the content and historical evolution of democracy. The programme will help students to make informed judgements about the positionality of democracy in development and to think about the nature of democracy one would be proposing for a particular context.
