The course deals with important theories and concepts concerning inequality and power in developing countries, and theoretical analyses of processes that create, change and maintain inequality. Particular emphasis is placed on how power affects distribution through relations of class, gender, ethnicity, race, patron-client relationships and political-economic organisation.

The teaching consists of lectures and seminars. See the programme description for further details.

The following required coursework must be approved before the student can take the exam:

• The student must give a presentation lasting 15-30 minutes (individually or as part of a group) of an article, chapter in a book etc. at a plenary session during the course.

The purpose of the oral presentation is to encourage students to engage in more oral activity and improve their oral presentation skills, and to present the academic content to a live audience in an organised and effective manner.
