  • Development Case Studies
    • Hindering Closing The Gap
      • Third world debt- developing companies loaned money by the world bank, the money they earn pays off interest but not the debt itself (HIPC)
        • MEDC's have developed strategies such as the Multilateral debt relief initiative (MDRI) however people believe it is still not enough
      • Trade Blocs eg. The EU- Inside the bloc is advantageous those outside face with heavy tariffs and competition from cheaper surplus goods
      • Social and Cultural barriers- Gender equality is a common barrier for development however there are others such as the Caste system in India
    • Aid
      • Top Down Aid
        • Can be shared on a wider scale
        • Corruption can occur, money can be misspent and could be given to areas where it is not as badly needed
      • Bottom Up aid
        • Given directly to those who need it so it gets to them faster
        • Works on a very small scale and for an entire country to receive what it needs is impractical
    • Development Gap
      • Exists on a global scale
      • Causes
        • War eg. Afghanistan
        • Natural Disasters eg. Bangladesh floods 1998
