Then audience group (assuming reporters) will be allowed to ask questions.

Based on global development agendas suggested by international organizations such as World Bank and United Nations Development Programmes (UNDP), this course explores sources of economic growth, inequality, poverty, and other aspects of development. Even in today's globalized and technologically advanced world, more than eight hundred million people are still malnourished, more than one billion people live on less than a dollar per day. Poverty and inequality have proven to be stubbornly resilient against attempts to reduce them over the last decades. This course first examines various approaches and debates on the concept of development, varieties of development models, and so forth, drawing on economics, politics, sociology and public policy literature. It then explores key areas of debates on 1) urbanization and its consequences, 2) rural development, 3) education, 4) innovation and technological development, 5) public health and social care, and so forth. Throughout the course we will seek policy implications and lessons for Vietnam and other developing countries.

This course is built on lectures and students' contribution to class discussions and case studies. The objective of this course is for students to gain an overview of both issues and practices related to the study of development. Detailed course objectives are:

* Provide students with a clear understanding of key debates and issues on development.

* Help students formulate important development agenda and strategies for Vietnam

* Provide students proper comparative methods to strategically learn from the best practices.

* Increase students' awareness of sustainable development goals (SDGs) and 'grand challenges' we face suggested by international society

* Provide students with the analytical tools needed to make sense of economic development and social change.
