Politics and Policy in Emerging Countries
In a rapidly evolving global landscape, the concept of "emergence" has become a focal point for understanding the dynamic interplay between economic growth, political structures, and societal transformation. This programme delves into the multifaceted nature of emergence, exploring its conditions, trajectories, and implications through diverse analytical lenses and a series of in-depth geographic case studies. These cases span diverse regions, allowing participants to examine real-world examples of emergence while integrating a cross-cutting thematic approach to uncover broader patterns and lessons.
By examining emergence from the perspectives of political economy, comparative geopolitical, international relations and policy-making, participants will gain critical insights into how emerging countries both shape and are shaped by global governance. Furthermore, the programme investigates the unique policy challenges faced by these nations and the strategic approaches they employ to navigate their ascent on the global stage.
