Many scholars believe that property rights are the key to economic development, attributing the wealth and poverty of nations to their property rights regimes. This upper-level political economy of development seminar examines some of the most important questions in the field: where do strong property rights come from? Why have so many policies aimed at improving land rights failed and in what cases have others been successful? How do property rights impact food security, investment, political inclusion, and human welfare? The course will explore these questions through the study of countries in the Global South.
