SOSCI3003 Regional Development
This course builds on previous understandings of rurality and regionality to engage students in understandings of government approaches to regional development. This will include developing historical understandings of the issue, the influences of neoliberal policy development and current approaches to regional development in Australia. The course will focus on the role of local, state and federal governments, think tanks, lobby groups and the NGO sector. Students will also undertake international comparisons, with countries facing similar issues to Australia.
