GRADUATE SCHOOL OF PUBLIC AND INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Prof. Louis A. Picard, Instructor PIA 2574 AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT SEMINAR Course Syllabus Room: 3L51 Posvar Hall Time: Tuesday, 9:00-12:00 Office Hours: Tuesday and Wednesday: 12:30-2:30 Office: 3R26 Posvar Hall Office Phone: 412- 648-7659 Research Office: 412-260-9709 E-mail: Picard@ The violence, hunger and poverty of Africa that are often described in our newspapers (on the bottom right-hand corner of the third section of your daily newspaper after the sports) do not exist in a vacuum. They are the products of historical and social forces that go back a number of centuries and also reflect current day world divisions about race, gender and culture.. In this course we will look at the origins of these forces and their consequences as they affect Sub-Saharan Africa. Of particular importance is the question: is there a new Africa in terms of governance and economic and social development? The purpose of this course is to destroy myths. It is to get course participants to start thinking and talking about the causes of poverty and underdevelopment and to stimulate an interest in a part of the world which is very far away from and very different from the United States. It is an ambitious course in that it will require participants to have an ability to read and digest (as well as think about) a large amount of material in a short period of time. Every effort has been made to assign material that is clearly and interestingly written. However, there will be many concepts and terms that are not immediately familiar to you. If so write them down and ask about them in class. In tackling the reading, take your time with it, re-read and ask questions of your colleagues and of the course instructor. This course will be a mixture of lecture, presentation and discussion. Hopefully it will be structured and informal at the same time. Feel free to interject comments and raise que
