PART II PAPER 20:
World population, development and environment since 1750: comparative
history and policy
Simon Szreter
[email protected]
Problems of population, development and the environment have been major
preoccupations of governments and the humanities throughout the last two centuries.
There is a wealth of historical research and knowledge available, yet these topics are
often considered to be the exclusive province of the contemporary social sciences.
Students taking this paper will be able to develop their historical and comparative
understanding of these problems as a critical perspective on today‘s urgent public
policy issues.
Comparative study will focus on the modern history of four major contrasting regions,
Britain, India, China, and South and East Africa. The selection comprises a set of
countries whose economic and demographic fortunes have been closely linked with
that of Britain’s and its empire throughout the modern era, but representing very
different degrees and kinds of relationship. The principal comparative topics studied
in these regions’ histories will be: famines, epidemics, endemic diseases, health and
nutrition, welfare, social security, civil society and government, fertility, marriage and
reproduction, migration, urbanisation and the environment as well as questions of
how populations are constructed through state activities of census and registration.
The regions selected deliberately break with the conventional subject-area divisions of
the Faculty, offering students the chance to engage in comparative studies, which are
not available elsewhere in the Tripos. The paper will seek to relate the diverse
population histories of all four areas studied across both their pre-industrial and
postindustrial periods. It will also seek to examine the way in which the fates of these
different countries’ populations and economies have been inter-linked both before and
during the contemporary era of ‘globalisation’.
The course comprises a set of 24 lectures from an inter-Faculty team of experts in the
history of each of the four regions, supplemented by comparative discussion classes
and individual comparative essays, with supervision led by Prof Simon Szreter (St
John’s), the course convenor. The first 4 lectures introduce students to the intellectual
history of the field, focusing especially on the dominant models and policy debates
from the mid-twentieth to the present day. There are 20 further lectures covering each
of the 4 regions studied, addressing population and economic change, mortality,
health and welfare, reproduction, marriage, sexuality and fertility, migration,
urbanisation and the environment. Through classes and their supervised essays
students will be encouraged to explore the comparative histories of these 4 regions
and to reflect critically on the relationship between social science, policy and history.
It is strongly recommended that students taking this course undertake their
comparative supervised essays in the Lent Term
24 lectures, 3 Revision Classes, 5 Supervisions.
