Teaching
Public Policy for Sustainable Development in Natural Resource Rich Countries (On-Campus)
This module provides students with an understanding of the typical policy challenges faced by countries endowed with natural resources and a critical awareness of the proposed causal mechanisms explaining variation in outcomes across these countries. The course covers the resource curse debate, theoretical approaches to public policy analysis and the practical policy challenges of turning resource wealth into positive development outcomes.
