Class Description:
This course introduces three of the world's most powerful global institutions -- the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and World Trade Organization. Three dimensions will be emphasized: we will look behind their closed doors to understand their daily practices; we will learn about the political, economic, and cultural terrain in which they operate; and we will observe them in key sites in the global South and North. Course themes include the business and expertise of development, poverty and wealth generation, the ideas of free market and trade, the rise of a transnational professional class and networks, and transnational social activism and networks.
