About this badge

Economic development ultimately increases economic security and creates a more stable, peaceful, and healthy environment for citizens. Examine the competing concepts of how a society can best develop its economy and raise standards of living. Learn to think critically about the role of the government versus the role of the market, as well as the cultural and historical influences on the choices made in economic development. Examine development through the lens of modern globalization trends, noting how growth prospects are impacted by increased economic integration through aid, investment, and trade between the developed and developing worlds.
