What is a Global Studies Major? According to the The College Board: “Global studies majors are “global thinkers” in every sense. Drawing from fields as different as geography, music, political science, and ecology, they look at the connections between nations and peoples and the trends that shape our lives. And global studies majors don’t just think on a large scale. They may study how something like climate change can affect hundreds of nations, but they also consider its effects on their own backyard.” Potential Career Paths: Foreign Service/State Department; International business, including working for a domestic American corporation in their international operations, or working for a corporation abroad; Entrepreneurialism; International law; International development and sustainable development; International non-profit work or activism on environment, human rights, social justice, etc.; Journalism and other communications media; Education, especially teaching and administration at the high school level and above.

  • Anthropology's Contribution to the Study of Comparative International
    Special Issue: Population and Development: Comparative Anthropological Perspectives Introduction Daniel Jordan Smith and Jennifer A. Johnson-Hanks The methods and approaches of anthropology make the discipline particularly well positioned to understand how populations are implicated in, and respond to, development programs. These methods and approaches include in-depth explorations of how power operates, the exposition of long-term effects of policies and programs on everyday life, the careful focus on the relationship between the values people articulate when asked directly and their actual lived practices, and the insistence on intimate research conducted over long periods of time. But anthropology’s contribution to the study of comparative international development has been marginal compared to that of other social sciences such as economics, political science, and sociology. The relative dearth of anthropology articles in most issues of this journal is representative of a wider pattern in development studies publications. The explanation for anthropology’s outsider status is worth considering. In part, many anthropologists who study development are highly critical of dominant paradigms, and choose not to situate their work in relation to mainstream academic discourse on the topic. Anthropologists commonly ask, for example, who determines what development even means, and we worry whether it actually benefits those in whose name it is undertaken. Indeed, much of the anthropological literature suggests that development reinforces rather than ameliorates inequalities. Anthropology’s critical stance toward development may also lead its perspective to be excluded from debates where – at least from many anthropologists’ point of view – the prevailing wisdom accepts assumptions that our discipline questions. And anthropology does itself – and the populations we care about – no favors when we write about development, power, and inequality in insular jargon, excluding others who we often lament do not listen to us.

By fulfilling many of the lower division major requirements at the CSU and UC campuses, this program will enhance student awareness in ecological, historical, political, social, service/community learning issues as well as facilitate successful student transfer. The goal is also to excite, ignite, and inspire students to learn and serve their respective communities.

ESTIMATING HOUSEHOLD PERMANENT INCOME FROM OWNERSHIP OF PHYSICAL ASSETS June Y.T. Po Jocelyn E. Finlay Mark B. Brewster David Canning Center for Population & Development Studies Harvard University April 2012 1. INTRODUCTION In theory, household income is an important determinant of many demographic process including fertility (Easterlin 1975), mortality (Kaplan 1996, Fiscella 1997), and migration (Massey 1990, Reardon 1997). However, many demographic surveys of households do not directly ask for information on household income, expenditure, or wealth. This includes the Demographic and Health Surveys. In the absence of direct measurement, researchers often use proxy indicators of income based on household ownership of physical assets, such as television, refrigerator, automobile, phone, watch. One approach is to simply use an asset index based on the number of assets the household owns from a defined set (Howe, Hargreaves et al. 2008; Alkire and Santos 2010). Filmer and Pritchett, 2001, argue that the first principle component of the household’s ownership of household physical assets is highly correlated with household expenditure and can be used as a reasonable proxy.

Since the Second World War there have been major changes in theories about the root causes of global poverty and the strategies necessary to tackle it. This article views the history of development studies from the perspective of the role of economics during 1975- 2014. A topic modelling analysis of published journal articles fromScopus suggests that there has been a relative decline in research that focuses on economics, and particularly for research concerned with firms and growth. In parallel, the analysis suggests that there has been a relatively slow increase in interest in the environment, a lack of scholarly interest in BRICS and dependency theory, and a relatively homogeneous treatment of gender issues.

Roodt ([email protected]) Mr Thoko Sipungu ([email protected]) Ms Tarryn Alexander ([email protected]) 2 INTRODUCTION Welcome to the honours course on Development Theory! Section 1 of the course, taught by Professor Monty Roodt, will consist of four seminars over two weeks. It will cover an introduction to the concept of development, and the history of the main development theories. We will not cover feminist theories of development as there is a separate course covering this important topic, run by Professor Michael Drewett. Section 2 will be taught by Mr Thoko Sipungu. This section hopes to provide theoretical and practical understandings of development through an examination of the capabilities and right- based paradigms to development insofar as they relate and apply to disability. Section 3 will be taught by Ms Tarryn Alexander. Section three introduces post-development theory and its critique of the power relations and orientalist thinking which permeates Eurocentric development discourses. In the final week we look at the notion of “the developmental state” in the context of South Africa. There will be an essay for each of the three sections which comprise the course mark. SECTION 1: DEVELOPMENT THEORIES This section will start with an introduction to the concept of development and how it has evolved over the decades from the colonial period, through what has become known as the “first development decade” in the period after the Second World War, into the period of neoliberalism and globalisation where the environmental/food and the world capitalist crises have prompted calls for the entire development enterprise to be abandoned.

This study examined the impact of access to working capital and training programs on household income and economic vulnerability among participants of AIM, TEKUN, and LKIM in Kelantan, Malaysia. Adopting a cross-sectional design, data were collected randomly from 450 micro-entrepreneurs living in seven districts in Kelantan. The finding revealed that the total amount of economic loan received, length of the programs participation, and number of hours spent on training programs had a positive effect on household income in order to decrease the level of economic vulnerability. The finding provided useful information for policies development that prioritizes poverty eradication among low-income households who were vulnerable to weak economic situation.
