Economic Studies in South Africa:
South Africa's Evolving Political Economy

Sponsored by: Georgia State University, Andrew Young School of Policy Studies, and Morehouse College, Department of Economics with assistance from the Office of International Affairs.

The joint Georgia State University / Morehouse College program of Economic Studies in South Africa is designed to give students a broad understanding of the workings of the South African economy, its infrastructure, its environment and its governance. Through a series of lectures, in country discussions with industry and public officials, and site visits, program participants examine the process of economic and social development, as well as South Africa's role in the global marketplace. In addition, the program addresses South Africa's current socio-economic challenges, such as unemployment, poverty, crime and the AIDS epidemic. 2006 Trip Announcement
