Overview
About the programme
States, Political Systems and Development at The Open University UK draws on an extensive network of academic partnerships with researchers, policy makers and grassroots organisations in Latin America and Africa that ensures an integrated analysis of international development.
Within this broad and cross-cutting agenda we focus on:
- The relationship between development actors, institutions and dynamics of change at the level of political ideas. This further focuses on global justice, cosmopolitanism and politics of development as well as on transnational networks, states and power.
- At the level of policies, our focus is on the interaction between governance and government and civil society.
- At the level of actions, research focus is mainly on social movements, participation, conflict and cooperation.
