A career in International Economic Development? ?

I’m a British Student, doing A-levels, and I’m probably going to apply to do Geography at university. We have careers support at school, and they ask us about careers ideas. I’ve always been interested in the unfairness of world trade, economics and structures of countries, especially in Africa, as I grew up there. The idea of a job, in Economic Development, changing the structures of these markets, fixing them, and trying to reduce the bias to countries in West, that exploit the Third World. Not ‘Aid work’, but could easily work for an NGO.
Any idea what the title of this job would be? Or something similar? This has been the thing that’s stumped me when trying to explain it, and in trying to research it. Any sites I could visit? Any companies, NGOs, ideas of careers. Anything would be good
Thanks

Umm…
I don’t believe that there is a field that is that specific per se, you could in theory study any field work in economics and still do those things. but what I would expect people are looking for in that instance would be either a maco-economists (studies economics as a whole) or a specialization in agro-economics (though it depends what your intentions are exactly)
I would emphasize macro b/c that stresses the disciplines relating to government, a countries money supply, how to improve/ promote conditions et cetera.

on a side note, i read this weekend an interesting thesis by a portugese economist in regard to creating wealth in africa. (i thought you may want to heat it, it’s quite brilliant actually). His belief is that there is actually a lot of wealth in those states (even the notorious Sub-Saharans) that is just ‘frozen’ but which could be created for individuals by simply having the governments of various states give land to its citizens.
with this they could offer equity to banks or investors or just sell it off and thereby pursue individual economic interests that will end up creating wealth for the citizenry of those states.
though, for most of these countries it would mean a complete overhaul in their laws for property rights, but he was pretty optimistic.
