While the topic of economic development has been largely the subject of economics research, political scientists and political economists have recently started to highlight that political institutions may play a key role in explaining why some nations become economically prosperous and others fail to develop. Can the state play a key role in fuelling economic development? How do different political institutions affect economic development? Does intra- and inter-state conflict hinder or help states achieve long-term development? Drawing from up to date literature on institutional economics, political science and political economy, this module will take a rigorous approach to the analysis of the institutional, cultural and social drivers of economic development.
