Q

what are the 4 factors holding Malawi back

A

it’s landlocked - no port to cheaply import and export goods so can’t trade easily, only a long train which can’t take much weight, or plane which can be expensive

rural isolation - roads mainly made of dirt, several hours to travel to markets in rainy season, rural coverage is poor for phones, 85% are isolated

living with climate change - water shortages, food shortages due to varied rainfall and rainy season will be shorter as well as intense rain causes problems

increased pollution - squatter settlements, no sanitation or waste management, rivers are contaminated, dust, car fumes have all increased air pollution

25
what is colonisation and cash crops
1. Malawi depend on cash crops for exports - global prices vary and farmers never know what they will get 2. plantations they made are still UK owned - profits go to TNCs, neo colonisation
26
what is global trade and international relations
Malawi only sell raw coffee beans instead of roasted even though it would be more expensive as there would be a tariff
27
3 trade problems which stand in the way of Malawi
1. terms of trade 2. colonisation and cash crops 3. global state and international relations
28
what was rostows theory (1960)
1. traditional society - subsidence economy - people fed for themselves in agriculture 2. pre conditions for take off - shift from farming to manufacturing, trade increases profits which is invested into industries and infrastructure 3. take off - growth is rapid, investments and technology create new manufacturing industries 4. drive to maturity - a period of growth, technology is used throughout the economy, industries created consumer goods 5. age of high mass consumption - societies choose how to spend wealth, e,g, military or education
29
what was franks dependency theory (1967)
development was about 2 type of global regions - core and periphery core - developed nations periphery - ‘others’ - producing raw materials to sell to the core - depend on the core for their market lower value materials are traded and the core processes these into higher wealth products, becoming wealthy, historically trade is what made countries poor to begin with - think bourgeoise and proletariat
30
globalisation
increased connections betweenness countries
31
how does globalisation happen
economic interdependence increased trade spread of technology investment outsources
32
foreign direct investment
when one country invests in another
33
what has caused a massive global shift between developed and developing
manufacturing
34
what is the Clark fisher model
It shows the way different types of employment structure changed in different stages of the industrial revolution as a country develops. During pre industrial, primary (farming,fishing,mining,forestry) were all large employment areas. As they enter the industrial period, secondary (manufacturing) employment became much larger as well as the start of tertiary (services) employment. This was because the countries were taking the primary and manufacturing them to be traded, which involves services to get the products around. As they enter post industrial, tertiary becomes the main employment sector as it’s the largest employment sector. The growth of quaternary (knowledge economy) began to grew, however stayed small as it takes highly skilled workers which not the whole population is.
35
low income countries - Clark fisher model
employment dominated by the primary sector
36
middle income countries - Clark fisher model
dominated by secondary sector, as incomes rise so does demon for manufactured goods
37
high income countries - Clark fisher model
as income develops, tertiary sector (services) develops. The quaternary also develops as tertiary becomes more developed
38
what is development in Vietnam like
rapid industrialisation, money has been invested, turning raw materials into manufactured goods
39
what country didn’t benefit from globalisation
Malawi, GDP remains low
40
what has helped emerging countries grow - India
location - located between the Middle East and south east Asia, fast growing regions providing labour and huge market for goods and services
41
India’s significance - socially
- worlds second largest population (1.3billion) - 4th and 5th largest cities - Mumbai and Kolkata - some of the worlds worst urban slums, housing 40 million people
42
India’s significance - environmentally
- richest biodiversity - population and economic growth threaten them - worst environmental problems - land, air, water pollution - 3rd greatest emitter of greenhouse gases
43
India’s significance - politically
- worlds largest democracy - growing global influence - second largest contributor to number of troops in the UN
44
India’s significance - culturally
- worlds largest film industry - Bollywood - has the worlds largest ancient culture - diverse (78% Hinduism, 15% Islam, 2.5% Christianity, 2% Sikhism
45
economic liberalisation in India
globalised economy with economic liberalisation, meaning the consumers and companies decide what people will buy based on demand, where goods can be made most cheaply, where investment in products will make most profits Governments supporting a marker economy also encourage foreign investment
46
the importance of transport - India
shipping - improvements in fuel efficiency mean one large ship costs only slightly more to run that a small one - global shipping as massively increased containerisation - containers on ships are easier, quicker and cheaper to export aircraft technology - imports by air for India as 70 times more valuable that those transported by sea
47
foreign direct investment - India
most of its investments have come for TNCs and international banks, the service economy has grown the most with TNCs investing in IT, research and development, call centres all providing cheaper services
48
what are the 3 types of outsourcing which have occurred
1. call centres 2. software development - India’s uni’s provide technically qualified graduates 3. company administration - e.g. accounting
49
what is an example of a TNC in India
BT - part of the new economy
50
footloose
one which is not tied to any particular location or country
51
what is the new economy also known as
knowledge economy
52
where are TNCs usually located
close to unis and science parks

social impacts of economic development
urban expansion later marriage for educated women as they now have a career social customs - free to marry outside your caste
54
changes in health and education after economic development
increased access to safe drinking water rapid expansion of hospitals in rural areas
55
economic development - losers
garment workers - minimum wage is 87% lower than the UK, work 100s of hours for an average of £35, most are unskilled jobs so 70% of employees are young women on lowest pay and older women are often discriminated against
56
multiplier effect
people migrate to cities and spend money on housing and services creating more jobs
57
what is the studied urban core region
maharashtra
58

61
what impacts on the environment does economic growth have
water pollution from waste removal and sewage air pollution from traffic loss of biodiversity and land degeneration as more land is needed for food and cities
62
top down development
where the government decides and local people have no say on wether or how the plans happen They are usually expensive and large and often involve loans from Inter-Governmental Organisations
63
what was the top down development project we studied
three gorges dam - China
64
social factors of the three gorges dam
- creates more jobs - positive - over 150 towns and 4500 thousand villages will be flooded displacing people from their homes - negative - 1.3 million people will be forced to move - Allow large ships to navigate the river and reach Chungong Create thousands of jobs
65
economic factors of the three gorges dam
- provide 10% of China’s electricity through HEP Increase tourism along the river - positive - creates more jobs - positive
66
environmental factors of the three gorges dam
- the river landscape will be forever changed - negative - the lake which will be created could become very polluted from waste, killing animals and plants - negative - protect precious farmland from flooding - positive
67
who benefits (TD)
government and cities
68
who loses (TD)
animals, residents
69
bottom up development project
run by non-governmental organisations, offer help directly to communities to identify who needs help and offer help, often smaller and simpler technology so it can be used once they leave by locals
70
what was the bottom up development
water aid zambia
71
why did water aid visit Zambia
Zambia experiences acute water shortages during the April–November dry season, and has suffered 30 years of below- average rainfall. This water stress has both economic and health impacts. More than 1,000 children under 5 die every year from diarrhoea.
72
what has water aid done for Zambia
- 120,000 people in 240 villages gained access to water - 39 new toilet blocks were built with 13 new boreholes and 4 new wells - 400 wells and boreholes were repaired - 63 community groups were developed to manage WaterAid resources - community groups have helped 7,500 individuals to build their own safe toilets - 27 ‘sanitation champions’ have been trained to educate the population - taps connected to the mains are unlocked for up to 4 hours a day to allow access to clean water
73
the future of water aid Zambia
WaterAid Zambia’s programmes need funding and staff. Economic growth in Zambia is over 6% this decade, and the charity believes private-sector partnerships and funding are a way to scale up its programmes.
