Global development and inequality
In our globalizing world, natural resources, economic capital, political power and social justice are unequally distributed between poor and rich countries, and between powerful and marginalized groups within countries and local communities.
Main content
Global challenges such as poverty, natural resource exploitation, pollution, climate change, population growth and migration are central in our courses and research. Our studies of complex issues in specific places in a global perspective highlight the challenges as well as the possibilities for reaching the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
