Asian Economic Development and Integration
The course will examine a range of development challenges that Asia and the Pacific have faced, and the policy pathways pursued by its various economies. It will draw on diverse country, sub-regional, and regional experiences to identify policies that seem to have contributed most significantly to growth and development, examine why they “worked,” and how they might be applied in other developing economies. It will consider current policy debates on a host of “hot” topics including climate investment, energy, macroeconomic fiscal and monetary policies, the role of small medium enterprises (SMEs), industrial development, food security, health emergency preparedness, and education. At the end of the course, students should understand the key drivers and dynamics of Asian economic growth, development and integration in the past 50 years and be familiar with a range of development issues likely to influence future policy options in the region.
