PRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENT

Prerequisites: SIPA U4200 or SIPA U6400 or SIPA U6401
The course will help students understand the role of the private sector in economic growth and the professional discipline of Private Sector Development (PSD). It will review how global events and an evolving understanding of what private enterprises in developing and transition countries need to grow has influenced the approaches taken by PSD practitioners in the field. The course will expose students to a wide range of PSD sub-disciplines at a conceptual level and through real world examples. These include financial sector development, trade capacity building, the promotion and management of foreign direct investment, the business climate and commercial law, enterprise development, and some elements of macro-economic policy and administration. The course is an overview of a complex topic. It aims to develop students' ability to observe PSD programs critically and identify the most useful PSD interventions for different country contexts.

BRICS & BEYOND: RISING POWERS RESHAPE WO

Prerequisites: Students are expected to have basic knowledge in Macroeconomics and Finance.
Through a mix of analytical overview and practical cases, the class will discuss, from a practitioner’s point of view the rise of the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India and China); the strengths and weaknesses of each of the BRICs and will do a comparative analysis of the four countries; several fundamental themes linked to the rise of BRIC: expansion of the middle class; pressures on commodities; development of capital and investment markets; research and innovation; how countries and international companies position themselves vis‐agrave;‐vis the rise of BRIC; the role of BRICs in the world governance. The goals of this class are to provide students with a solid understanding of the challenges and opportunities arising from the rise of the BRICs and to give them the tools that will help them understand the dynamics at work.

IMPACT INVESTING: VENTURE CAPITAL STRATE

This course explores the emerging investment category of impact investing: investments intended to generate both financial returns and positive social or environmental impact. Unlike some other courses on impact investing, this course will focus on equity-based venture capital impact investments (and not private equity, social impact bonds, lending, or concessionary strategies of any kind).  Venture capitalists tend to focus on early-stage, high-growth businesses that have the potential to transform their industries.  Impact-oriented venture capitalists are targeting and in many cases achieving market-rate returns.  The course will examine the history and structure of the venture capital industry, the impact investing eco-system, the measurement of impact, and areas of opportunity including civic engagement, K-12 and higher education, sustainability, and the needs of the bottom billion.    Students in the course will make a meaningful pragmatic contribution to the field of impact investing.  Each student will work on a start-up associated with an accelerator program (we have tentative commitments from Kaplan Techstars, Echoing Green, Learnlaunch, and 1776), will produce a full-fledged Investment Memorandum detailing the strengths and weaknesses of the start-up, and then share and discuss this Memorandum with investors who have expressed interest in the start-up.  It is my hope that students will deepen the understanding of potential impact investors, stimulate the flow of capital to the start-ups that deserve it, and offer useful insights to those start-ups.

CIVIC INNOVATION & BUILDING PEOPLE-CENTE

Governments around the world are tasked with delivering services to millions of citizens using a range of technologies and initiatives. They constantly assess their impact and find new ways to better serve the public and to provide service more efficiently and effectively. This course provides a look at innovative efforts underway, and an analytical framework for developing new approaches to serving people. Invention is part of innovation, of course. But innovation has another meaning. It is also a process-a process of improving, adapting, or developing a product, system, or service in order to deliver better results and create value for people. It is this second meaning of innovation that applies most acutely to government. While entrepreneurs may tinker with new products and ideas, government has a unique ability to take new ideas, adapt them to the needs of the public, and apply them at scale. This course explores what innovation actually means in government, what it looks like, and how it happens. It is focused on understanding how the same methodology that firms use to design and build revolutionary products can be (and is being) applied in government to design more effective policies, programs, and services. The goal of this course is to prepare students for working creatively in a policy environment, and finding new solutions to complex human problems, in a manner that prioritizes people over politics and bureaucracy. To this end, the course takes a blended and hands-on approach to learning, combining reading and lectures with design studios, and guest speakers who will provide a firsthand narrative of their experience with innovation in government. Guest speakers will include people who have been able to develop and implement new systems within government such as rescuing healthcare.gov and modernizing our immigration system.

GENDER,GLOBALIZATN & HUM RIGHT

Prerequisites: Students who have not taken either International Human Rights Law or International Law must obtain instructor permission to enroll
From the ‘feminization of migration' to labor market effects of trade agreements, from the recognition of rape as a war crime to the emergence of transnational advocacy movements focused on women's and LGBTQ rights, globalization is being shaped by and reshaping gender relations. Human rights norms are directly implicated in these processes. The development of global and regional institutions increases the likelihood that national policies affecting gender relations will be subject to international scrutiny. At the same time, local activists redefine international norms in terms of their own cultural and political frameworks with effects that impact general understandings. What ‘human rights' can women claim, where, how and from whom? What human rights can LGBT people claim? How can we craft effective and fair policies on the basis of the existing human rights framework?

GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES ON MIGRATION

GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES ON MIGRATN

In an increasingly global and connected world, the movement of goods and money is taken for granted. Yet globalization also leads to the movement of people that has a profound impact of cities and government. Many countries are facing similar challenges relating to migration but conceptualization and policy solutions are shaped by differing approaches in legislation, politics and ideology. The purpose of this new seminar is to critically analyze immigration from an international and comparative lens anchored in the U.S. During the seminar the theory, policy and practice of migration will be explored from key actors in receiving as well as sending countries with examples drawn from the U.S., Europe and Latin America. Combining theory and practice students will be encouraged to develop policy solutions and effective interventions at the city, national and international levels. During the seminar key global questions will be posed on immigration and immigrants: • To what do theories of migration explain the development of policy and practice? • Are global institutions fit for purpose in governing migration? • Has transnationalism transcended nationalism as the key driver for change at the state level?

EXTRACTIVE INDUST & SUSTAIN DEVP

EXTRACTIVE INDUST&SUSTAIN; DEVP

The guiding questions behind the course are: How can extractive industry investments be leveraged for sustainable and equitable development, particularly in low-income resource-rich countries? What is the international, national and regional regulatory framework under which such investments are made? Who are the stakeholders, and what are their respective interests, roles, responsibilities and opportunities? How can the challenges of poverty alleviation, environmental sustainability and governance be addressed in an integrated, multi-stakeholder framework for extractive industry investments that promotes sustainable development, respects the profitability of private-sector investments, and builds the mutual trust needed for long-term investments? The course covers the inter-related challenges of governance (fair and efficient negotiations, contracts, policy and planning framework, sound resource management, effective institutions), infrastructure (concession arrangements for shared platforms, corridor development), economic diversification (industrial policy, training, local procurement), environmental management (climate change resilience and adaptation, avoidance and management of catastrophic environmental events), and economic development (budgetary processes and tools, community engagement, integrated approaches to poverty alleviation at the local and national levels).

TRANSFORMATION AGRI & RURAL

The course addresses this fundamental question. It is about policies & institutions which have either undermined or promoted the successful transformation of the agricultural and rural sector (henceforth referred to as "the sector") in different contexts. The course is about the why, the what, and mainly the how of policy for sustained development. Specifically, the course selects country cases which exemplify the determining impact which policies & institutions can have on the development of the sector and inevitably on the national economy. The policy decisions include whether and how to (i) invest in the sector or to bypass it completely in the drive to industrialize; (ii) achieve food security or food self-sufficiency; (iii) achieve broad-based & sustained productivity and output growth; (iv) reduce sharp inequality of assets-mainly access to land-in the sector; and/or (v) promote access to lucrative output markets.

ACCOUNTING FOR INT & PUB AFFRS

The purpose of this course is to enable you to become an informed user of financial information.  To be properly informed you need to understand financial statements, the note disclosures and the language of accounting and financial reporting.  We will focus on the three major financial statements, (balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flows), which companies prepare for use by management and external parties.  We will examine the underlying concepts that go into the preparation of these financial statements as well as specific accounting rules that apply when preparing financial statements.  As we gain an understanding of the financial information, we will look at approaches to analyze the financial strength and operations of an entity.  We will use actual financial statements to understand how financial information is presented.  In each area, we will contrast U.S. accounting rules (GAAP) with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

COMMUNICATIONS POLICY IN THE DIGITAL AGE

COMMUNICATIONS POLICY-DIGITAL

The openness of the internet owes in large part to its development as a decentralized network, without any single overarching administrator or owner. Yet, as the internet and related technologies become more widely and effectively used, and corporate platforms expand and mature, calls for technical and political controls by national and regional bodies increase. This course explores how decisions on internet and communications policy by governments and corporations shape access to rights and innovation online. We study the principles, processes, and mechanisms that have the greatest impact today, and which are well placed to continue leading. We'll learn to devise principled and effective internet policy by studying: • the basic workings of internet & mobile technology; • the forums most active in shaping internet regulation, at national and international levels; and • how internet policy can impact rights, cultures, and economies, positively and otherwise. This course will help you answer questions like, is a separate internet in each country or region, possible, desirable, or inevitable? What should be the respective roles for corporations, governments, and civil society in governing the technical protocols, infrastructure, and operations of the internet? Is it possible to retain personal privacy online? And whose responsibility is it to police content?

POLITICAL ECON OF FINANCE

This course provides an introduction to the political economy of financial and international monetary policy, presenting both theoretical perspectives and more policy-oriented concerns. Wherever possible, it looks at the issues covered from the perspective of developing and emerging market countries. The course has three main sections. The first examines the political economy of the global monetary system. We begin by surveying the evolution of international monetary arrangements from the gold standard period to the present day. Then we analyze the difficulties of managing the crises and global imbalances that have been frequent features of contemporary times. The second section examines the political economy of financial policy, regulation and central banking. The role of financial policy in economic development, especially of industry, in developing and emerging market countries is the primary lens for exploring this topic. The final section considers financial crises, with a special focus on the Asian financial crisis of 1997/98 and recent global crisis that had its origins in the United States.
