Abstract

Natural disasters have always happened and will continue to happen. Unfortunately, there is a major difference in how developed countries prepare for and respond to natural disasters, compared to developing countries. When a disaster hits a developing country, the death rates are much higher than in a developed country, the recovery period takes longer and the long term economic impact is more severe. This paper looks at the causes for the differences and addresses steps a developing country can take to be better prepared for and respond against potential natural disasters.

Question 1
Many factors influence the economic growth in the developing countries. These factors include internal government policies, political stability, domestic capital formation, investment, export policy and foreign aid among others.

Ethics are a set of values and moral principles that guide the actions of a group of people or a person.

Abstract

Multilateral organizations, such the International Monetary Fund, play a major role in our society, working in the areas of technical and financial assistance through structural adjustments in developing countries, as well as funding and sector-specific policy guidance. This domain has an inherent dynamism, and must be understood by analyzing the historical trajectory of these organizations and understanding that their actions are guided by the ideology that sustains the society we live in, which is rooted in the capitalist mode of production. This led me to ask the simple question: to what extant has the IMF been a force for Continue reading...

As indicated by many scientists,( what is the authority for this, which scientists, book or journal article) the reduction of greenhouse gas emission requires a global consolidated effort with participation from all the countries across the globe.

The current environment regime as governed by Kyoto Protocol is not helping in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, Kyoto Protocol, due to differentiating between developed and developing countries, has come under heated criticism from all corners. Common but Differentiated Continue reading...

Introduction

“Foreign aid consists of all resources – physical goods, skills and technical know-how, financial grants (gifts), or loans (at concessional rates) transferred by donors to recipients” (Riddell 2007, 17).

Globalization: theory, history, and policy. New York: Cambridge University
Press, 1998. Print.

This source is relevant to my research in that it explains that globalization is a source of labor inequality among the players in global economics. This book continues to explain that many economics had made a hypothesis at the beginning of the industrial revolution that the inequality that was brought about by globalization would slowly decline but over time this hypothesis has turned out to be un-workable. This information will be essential for my research in that I intend to explain that globalization is a cause of Continue reading...

Is it fair to restrict the growth of developing countries because of climate change?

Climatic change is a fundamental problem that is affecting developing nations, as well as developed nations of the world. However, as Nath and Behera pointed that developing nations are likely to be faced with a greater incidence of the outcome of climatic change than developed nations. This is because developed nations have the resources to deal with the outcomes of climatic changes and are already setting up mitigation strategies with respect to it.
The earth has limited carrying capacity and therefore increased population growth is likely to do more harm than good. Restricting the growth of developing nations can Continue reading...

There are many differences between the education systems in developed countries and developing countries. In general, the differences are clear; developing countries often lack the equipment and skills to allow their education systems to excel, whereas richer countries have had more years of ‘getting it right’ and have developed to a higher standard.

Unlike in many rich countries, people living in developing countries often have a perspective that values gathering food more highly than it values attending school.

How the Developing Market Escaped the Debt Trap

- Introduction
Economists and International Relations experts have argued that the world is slowly turning into a global village. The technological and communication advancements that have been realized in the past century have made it possible for the different territories, peoples, and cultures to interact more easily.

In the light of this global dynamic this paper seeks to explain the dynamics that shape consumer convergence and divergence behavior, the role of countries as origins of Continue reading...
