The Economics of Third World Health and Food Security, February 10 | Hybrid (Denver/Online) | Accredited

Major international agencies, both governmental and non-governmental, have tried to promote poverty relief and economic development in the Global South for decades.  Yet, we still hear of extreme suffering in many countries.  What was the impact of all this global assistance over the past decade?  What did they try to do?  Why did it succeed or fail?  This course will start with an interactive and factual (not mythical) look at the state of economic development in the Global South.  We will then focus on why food and health security remain problems, the problems and successes of aid and technology flows, economic infrastructure (banks, roads, warehouses), and commercial development.   The instructors plan to include a diverse mix of data and firsthand stories from various areas of the world, not just a focus on one nation or group.  You will leave the course with some great tools and ideas to share with 6-12 grade students and meet MS/HS geography, economics, and civics standards.
