What is Development? In the course taught by Manuela Tortora, a former senior staff member at UNCTAD (UN Conference on Trade and Development), students took part in a little game: they wrote down their own definitions of Development, sealed them and, at the end of the lectures, 'unboxed' them, discussing all together how much and how the definitions had been enriched with new meanings.

"The problem with finance and development is that there is a huge machinery of finance, but it is very poorly serving the needs of developing countries".
This is the core of the course "Global Finance and Development: Servant or Deceiver?" held by Professor Paul Dembinsky from the University of Freibourg (CH) and director of the Observatoire de la Finance.
