The primary goal of this course is to empower undergraduate students to understand the dynamics of power and voice in governance discourse. By the end, students will be able to articulate the relationship between power and voice, explain the lack of accountability in many developing countries, and assess the effectiveness of donor interventions in specific contexts. They will learn methods states can use to amplify citizen power and voice, and evaluate how donor principles can enhance state responsiveness and accountability. This course is vital for developing informed leaders who can advocate for meaningful change.
