Course summary

Overview

The Department of International Development (DID) at King's has a different agenda to traditional development studies in the UK and wider afield. It specifically focuses on locally-driven development in 'emerging economies' and the Global South more generally. Growth rates and global power balances are changing rapidly, giving rise to new questions about the global economy, national development and the promotion of sustainable and equitable growth. We seek to understand the sources of successful development and the major development challenges many countries continue to face by exploring context-specific economic, social and political change rather than applying prescriptive models of development.

We have six research groups:

- Climate, Environment, and Uneven Development

- Global Capitalism, Power & Uneven Development

- Global Production, Finance, and Labour

- Inequalities, Vulnerabilities, and Development Policy

- Social Justice

- Technology, Innovation, and Economic Development

Our research expertise spans political science, sociology, social anthropology, development economics, history, geography and management. We have strong regional expertise and collaborations in Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, SE Asia, China and India.
