• FY-012 Introduction to Being Human

  This module will focus on introducing what it is to be human from a broad humanities and social science perspective. It will offer the opportunity to engage with key ideas, theory and literature within these disciplines. It will therefore prepare students for further academic work in the humanities and social sciences and initiate the development of critical thinking and creative abilities.

• FY-019 Social Science

  .

• PO-235 Global Justice and Human Rights

  This module has been designed to help students to connect, or to create a bridge between, relatively practical debates about international human rights norms and institutions and about global patterns of poverty and inequality with more abstract philosophical debates about 'cosmopolitanism', 'global justice' and our moral responsibilities towards 'distant strangers'.

• PO-3117A Politics and International Development (10 cr)

  This module explores the role of politics or political science as a distinct social science discipline in the study of international development. It explores key theories from politics/political science that are relevant to the study of international development, their real world applications and the debates to which they give rise. The module also examines the politics/political science underpinnings of key policy debates within leading institutions tasked with promoting international development (including the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. The module examines the role of the state, the market and civil society in promoting international development and at the value and limitations of this triadic model.

• PO-M25 Dissertation

  Individual research based, under the guidance of appointed supervisor.

• PO-M63 Rights-based Approaches to Development

  Rights-based approaches to development (RBAD) are now part of a new orthodoxy with respect to policy and practice in support of international development. They have become popular in part because they provide a language for analysing poverty as a complex and multi-dimensional phenomena and for analysing governance as a process that responds directly to people¿s needs, entitlements and rights. They direct attention to aspects of poverty which have traditionally been neglected in development policy at national and international levels. This module examines the background to rights-based approaches to development. Particular attention will is paid to the four separate arenas in which RBADs are now evident: development practice, development discourse; the policy commitments of donors and governments; and the obligations imposed on donors and governments by international human rights law. The module examines the implications of rights-based approaches for development policy and practice in the context of two contradictory phenomena: a system of international relations based on the principle of state sovereignty and the complex phenomenon of `globalis ation¿. Issues that arise in relation to the rights of indigenous peoples and children will be used as ways of examining the situation of vulnerable groups.

• PO-M64 Violence, Conflict and Development

  Violence and conflict have been enduring and widespread obstacles to the promotion of sustainable development throughout the latter half of the twentieth century, and the 21st century looks set to continue this pattern. This module examines the roots and causes of conflict and violence in developing nations and explores how and why such conflict emerge even between hitherto seemingly peacefully co-existing communities. The module asks what impact protracted and violent conflict can have upon development prospects and democratisation processes, and examines national and international responses to violence and conflict mediation processes and systems. The module also explores soome of the arguments surrounding the use of aid in conflict situations, and examines the extent to which development aid and emergency relief can assist in perpetuating a state of conflict.
