ODA: Theory and Practice EL 3

Types of ODA are various depending on the number of donors (bilateral or multilateral) and the forms of assistance (loans or grants). Understanding the complicated inter-governmental processes require basic information of both international and national political. Recently cultural and normative inquiries are also added to the traditional material-scientific approaches. Practically, however, an ODA research tends to be case-dependent and therefore should be “multi-dimensional” or “cross-cutting” by its scholarly nature. Major areas of investigation are, though not limited to: foreign aid policy, socio-economic conditions, and regional integrations.

ODA Management and Evaluation

EL 3

An efficient ODA policy as a kind of business calls for such generic managerial skills as program & project plan, implementation, evaluation, and the budget. In addition, the management of ODA as a part of international cooperation needs to consider such external factors as social-political conditions of recipient countries and the regional context which the recipients act in. The former part, i.e., management in general, may be built on your common knowledge about the social sciences, but the latter should be exclusively acquired through international or areal studies. It is therefore highly recommended that you should have a prior training in the fields to this course, for example, by taking ODA: Theories and Practices, earlier.

ODA of Korea EL 3

The main purpose of this class is to let the student know what Korea's ODA is all about. As Korea's ODA program is scaling up and getting better as a new member of OECD/DAC, it is noteworthy how Korean government pulls its efforts in fulfilling the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In addition, this class will try to identify the relationship between GO and NGOs and find how to cooperate with each other for the poverty reduction. In this regard students are strongly recommended to read the textbook and other materials carefully before the class begins to actively participate in discussion.

EL 3

The study of international political economy has advanced rapidly in recent years, and in particular since the end of the Cold War. The demise of the rivalry between the United States and the former Soviet Union has brought economic issues to the fore in international relations. Understanding the historical antecedents of these changes and the role of governments in affecting the future development of the international political economy is our primary purpose. More specifically, this course has several goals. First, it will introduce you to several different perspectives for understanding the international political economy. We will read both classic texts in different perspectives as well as more current interpretations of these analytical and conceptual models. The reading will help students to get familiarized with the roles of main institutions and actors do in governing the international political economy. Also it will allow students to learn the key historical developments of the international political economy evolution. The course will provide you with the conceptual and analytical basis to evaluate current trends and events in the international political economy. By the end of the course students should be able to formulate informed responses to such questions as these: Are multinational corporations becoming more powerful than governments in the international political economy? Are there specific strategies that states can use to increase their wealth and power in the international system, or are they largely at the mercy of the market? How does inequality in the international system affect development strategies and policy options? You will have a chance to use your conceptual and analytical understanding both over the course of the semester in discussion during class time and in your term paper.


This course offers a theoretical overview of international relations covering traditional, contemporary and post-modern approaches, and examination of their assumptions and key concepts.

Most of us negotiate every day, though we often do not realize it. We negotiate not only contracts, leases, and purchases, but we also negotiate over less obvious issues. We need analytical skills to discover superior solutions to problems and we need negotiation skills to get others to accept and implement these solutions. Unfortunately, too many of us negotiate poorly. We often compromise or give in when creative problem solving could lead to a deal that would be better for everyone involved.The goal of this course is for you to become a better negotiator. That is, you will develop the negotiation skills that produce more creative, satisfying agreements and avoid the worst kind of compromises. In particular, you will learn how to:▶ think strategically about negotiation and conflict▶ collect information and reveal it tactically▶ get a bigger “slice of the pie” through both distributive

The purpose of this course is to familiarize students with foreign exchange markets and the nature of foreign exchange risk. Topics for the course include the determination of exchange rates, both spot and forward rates, and the arbitrage relationships that link prices and interest rates throughout the world. The balance of payments of a country is also studied, and its relationship to assess country risk will be explored. Familiarity with elementary macroeconomics and monetary theory is useful in the course, but where these ideas are required; they are developed from first principles.


EL 3

This course invites students to think about the foundation of development policy. In general, there are two approaches to study economic development. One is macro perspective based on the theory of economic growth and trade at country level. The other is micro perspective based on the theory of individual behavior at household level. The latter is the focus of this course. It addresses a question of how to understand the economic lives of the poor with respect to health, labor, education, saving, land, institution etc., and then there will be discssion of how to improve their lives. Students are expected to be familiar with economic concepts covered at the level of principles of economics and microeconomics. This course is recommended for those students who are interested in research on or public management of development policy.


EL 3

This course will study the theoretical framework of the regional economic integration(regionalization), and its impact on trade and investment flows within the region and on the economic performance of the individual nation and the regional economy. The relationship between regional economic integration and global economic integration (globalization) will also be touched


Companies have usually been the main target of critics and protest. However, the new role of NGO also includes partnership with companies, emphasizing that companies are not only profit centers but also socially-accountable actors. This concept will expand the partnership between NGOs and companies while transitioning the company from the private sector to the public sector, creating a more globalized and more responsible company. This also activates global or transnational cooperation and partnership between NGOs

and companies. This new challenge for modern NGOs necessitates both global and local perspectives, profit and non-profit values and private and public accountabilities. In this context, this course will deal with the new challenges facing NGOs regarding global capitalism, new social services from companies and partnerships built on the concept of corporate citizenship.

The Social Marketing and Finance of NGO

EL 3

Social Marketing can be understood to persuade people to have the commitment or to make contributions in public works or NGO activities. This course will deal with marketing principles and techniques to influence target audiences according to specific public agendas which NGOs want to raise. Social marketing eventually will help people to voluntarily accept, reject, modify, or abandon a behavior for the benefit of individuals, groups, or society as a whole. In this course, the main targets for social marketing of NGOs will be local people, local and central government, company, mass media, and global organizations. Also, finance, which is critically important to non-profit organizations, is very closely related to the outcome of social marketing.
