Program Overview

Introduction to the Master's Program

The world of the 21st century presents significant asymmetries between wealth and poverty, security and conflict, progress and environmental deterioration. The globalization of the economy has irreversibly affected other areas of social existence, configuring a definitive global economic system in which the gaps between its centers and peripheries seem to reproduce eternally.

In this context of economic, social, and territorial inequality, development and cooperation remain two poles of reference in any strategic discourse on the future, if that future is to be possible for all humanity. The challenges for authentically socio-economic, human, and sustainable development, and the demands for genuine cooperation between peoples and countries that allow them to advance together (and not at the expense of others), continue to occupy academic and political agendas in global consciousness.

This master's program in development and cooperation aims to continue forming specialists, as it has done for 32 years, who, strengthened by a solid theoretical and practical foundation, can intervene directly in the construction of development strategies and cooperation relationships that support a possible world of solidarity and well-being, respectful of nature and hopeful for future generations, and necessarily distinct from the current one.
