Section outline

  • GUIDELINES:

    • In a group of two people, pick a country (either yours or one of your choice).
    • Pick one factor leading to “underdevelopment” studied in class (geography,
      history, institutions, resource curse) that is particularly relevant for that country.
    • Analyze the role of this factor in that country’s development.
    • Prepare a 20 mins long presentation with slides (There will be additional 5 mins for Questions & Answers).
    • Both members of the group will need to deliver a presentation. In case of
      illness/other serious situation that prevents a group member from presenting,
      the remaining group member will need to deliver a presentation (the same number of points will be allocated to both members of the group).
    • Send a draft version of your slides to me by email at least 4 days before the
      presentation (before 11.03.2023 (11:59 pm)).
    • Submitting a draft version of your slides on time will be worth 5% of the overall grade.
    • Deliver a presentation on the specified date. No make-up presentations are allowed.
    •  Quality of the presentation (maximum 5%) and analysis (maximum 10%).
