UNIT DETAILS

Unit overview

Welcome to AIS302 Developed and Developing Worlds.This unit explores a wide range of theories,debates

and issues in development in orde r to give you a good grounding in developmen t studies.You will also explore

the inter national development sector and its key players,as well as delving into a rang e of case studies.

Current ly ,approximately half th e worlds population l ive in dire poverty .One billion people live on less than$US1 per day, and a total of around 2 .7 bil l ion l ive on less than $US2 per day .People l iving in developing

nat ions often face a range of chal lenges beyond low income inadequate or non -ex istent educat iona l

opportunit ies, a lack of c lean drinking water , l imited access to health care , exposure to a range of deadly

diseases and greater vulnerabil i ty to the impacts of disasters and confl ict , to name but a few .

Thanks to ini t iat ives such as the Mi l lennium Development Goals, much progress has been made towards

addressing poverty and inequality.However ,ther e is much yet to be done.The alleviat ion of poverty requir es a

concerted effort ,with the aid and development sector working with businesses,governments and individuals.

This unit is therefore an important one to consider in international studies, as many graduates wi l l enter

careers in which th ey may have a significant influence on the potential improvement or deterioration of l iving

standards in d eveloping countries.

Content covered

This uni t explores key issues and debates surrounding internat ional development . The focus is on the

re la t ionship be tween r ich and poor countr ies of the modern wor ld , on g loba l inequa l i ty and ways of

understanding and addressing it . Imbalances in wealth ,health ,information and power are central t hemes.The

pivota l role of non -governmenta l organisa t ions (NGOs) in deve lopment is exp lored , as are changing

perspectives on aid and development effectiven ess.E xtensive use is made of case studies from various parts of

the world,rangin g from places in which Australi a has a direct interest such as East Timor,PN G and Indonesia,

to more distant impoverished re gions in Sub-Saharan Africa ,South America and South East Asia .

the inten t of obtaining an adv antag e in submitting an assignment or other work .

Deakin University views plagiarism and collusion very seriously and may impose significant penalties . Under

its policy on plagiarism and collusion students are responsible for ensuring that:

they are familia r with the expect ed conventions of authorship and the appropri ate use and!

acknowledg ement of all forms of intellectual mate rial rele vant to their discipline;

!

they ta ke all reasonable steps to ensure th eir work ca nnot be accessed by others who might seek to!

submit it,in whole or in part,as their own .
