PSA 469-5 Public Bureaucracies in Underdevelo
p
ed Countries
This is a public
administration
course and is an analog to SA 463
?
(Public
Administration),
which is already offered. The new course 46
would he concerned primarily with pot-colonial bureaucracies in
developing or underdeveloped countries. Several areas of study -
public administration, political development, community theory --
currently focus moststrongly on the effects of developing
indigenous bureaucracies on social and political life.
The course is viewed as being complementary to courses already
offered in History (469 to 471) and Economics (455) and would be of
interest to students of economic develo
p
ment as well as •those
interested in public administration per se.
PSA 1
170-5 The Social Institutions of Peasantr
This course is central to much work in social anthrooloy and
would also serve as an essential foundation and/or background
material for the study of emerging nationalities, political and
social development, and inter-national relations. The course would
be of value to students interested in developing areas, particularly
Latin America and Africa; it is com
p
lemented bothby courses in the
humangeography of prelistory and transitional societies and by courses
in
Latin America and Africa, offered by the History Department.
Both 469 and 470 are part of a series which the PSA Department plans
to offer on development and underdevelopment. The Department already
has a full series of offerings on industrial or developed countries
and now plans to establish a parallel series on less developed countries.
III ?
PSA 474_5 Cultural Evolution
As well as being a standard anthropological theory course long needed
in
the Department, this course represents the specialty of a new faculty
member, Professor H. Hickerson. The course would be valuable to students
requiring advanced work in ethnogra
p
hy, ethnology, culture history and
•
?
archaeology; such a course is fundamental to an anthropological contt'i
'
b-
•
?
ution to a department of interdisciplinary social theory. Outside the
Department this could be a useful methodology course to students of the
history of developing
nations;
the subject also has relevencc to several
branches of education theory. ?

Africa. But this is in one geographic area only, and con-
siderable differences in materials, approach and theory
would be expected. A complimentary relation should exist
with
