Virtual Course on “Key Concepts for Economies in Conflict and Fragile Settings” - Session 5

Описание: Session 5: Ethnic diversity and nation-building
Presenters: Saumitra Jha (Stanford University) and Oyebola Okunogbe (World Bank, CEPR)

ABOUT THE COURSE
The course is designed around a series of eleven 60-minute lectures with 15 minutes for Q&A. These lectures aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the links between conflicts, economic growth, and public policies. Centered around ReCIPE's research themes, the course will explore key topics related to economies in fragile and conflict settings.

While conflict has become an ever more pressing global problem, important gaps in our understanding remain, and few graduate programmes offer courses specifically dedicated to the topic. This virtual course provides an opportunity to introduce as wide an audience as possible to conflict in the context of fragile economies.

The course is open free-of-charge to all interested participants. It is accessible to those at the master's degree level with a background in economics, but prior knowledge on conflict is not required. Course materials (syllabus, lecture presentations, and recorded lectures) will also be available after the fact on the ReCIPE website.

Date and time: March 6 - May 29, one Thursday lecture a week (except Thursday 27 March and Thursday 1 May) at 3pm London time (GMT through March dates, GMT+1 for April and May dates).
