Why have some societies succeeded and others have failed?
Development is not just about increasing growth and political and social rights. It's about creating self-sustaining institutions that liberate societies from low-level deprivation traps by increasing productivity, freedom, and cooperative interdependence.
The double degree in this Political Economy of Development gives you the theory and practical tools to drive such transformations forward by enabling you to understand why some societies have succeeded and others have failed.
We offer needs-based awards for our master’s programmes, including the Graduate Support Scheme and LSE Excellence Scholarship. Please check the specific details, requirements and restrictions on scholarship availability on our website.
