MSc Local Economic Development

London School of Economics and Political Science, University of London

Technological change, shifting patterns of global trade, and geopolitical tensions are leading to rapid changes in the world economy. Yet these global changes are felt very differently in local, urban and regional economies across the advanced, emerging, and developing world. In this context, economic development increasingly requires new responses, and demands specialist skills to exploit the opportunities these changes offer. The MSc Local Economic Development, affiliated by the Institute for Economic Development (IED), prepares you to meet these challenges.
