CIDE-5212 Policies of Territorial Economic Development

This course aims at contributing to the general objectives of the specialization by dwelling on the issue of territorial economic development policies. In many of the courses before the specialization and some courses in this semester, students have had the opportunity to learn more about development theories, economic development in general, regional and local development, and development institutions. These courses offer elements of theoretical and conceptual framework for the analysis of policies that seek to promote economic development of territories.   Growth and economic development are the basis for development in a wide sense and therefore, they constitute an issue of daily concern for the population and a basic task for the state at all administration levels, and for different non-governmental organizations.  The course focuses on the analysis of public policies that aim at stimulating territorial economic development. The first sessions include a review of the conceptual elements but the main emphasis is made on learning about the experience of said policies. In this context we will examine the subject of diagnosis and available information for public policies in the area.
