A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Conceptualization of development

Conceptualization of development deals with what “development” means, how it is understood in social science, and the standards used to judge whether a society is advancing. For the exam, you must master development as a multidimensional process involving economic, social, political, and human improvement, not just growth in income or output.
