GE303 - The Geography of Development in the Pacific

This course explores the geography of social and economic development in the Pacific region, with particular emphasis on people's livelihoods. The course focuses on three geographical components of the region (Latin America, Pacific Asia and the Pacific Islands) and describes, explains and compares the highly differentiated patterns of development that exist within and between these places. This form of comparative analysis will allow the experience and prospects of the Pacific Islands to be placed within the evolving regional and  global context.
