Chapter 13: Development: The Glue that holds together the Global Economy Where are we going, what, how, why, spatially where, and for whom Link between Resource Curse & Development Chap 12 Development http://www.npr.org/2011/02/25/134048260/Libyas-Economy 2 7 points on Development 1.

Measuring Economic Development Divining the future 6. Defining Economic Development 7. Core--Periphery Concepts vs. Growth Pole Chap 12 Development 3 But first reality check Development for who??? Remember the Four major questions of the World Economy (chapter one) 1. 2. 3. 4. What to produce given limited resources How to produce it… labor, capital, technology Where to produce it … why might it be in a give place Who benefits and how … rich, poor, both The most important promise held out by the Global Economy is that all countries will “develop” as a result Chap 12 Development 4 1. What's in the Word “Developing” Chap 12 Development 5 1. What's in the Word Developing Why are words important? Words as social/political indicators, words as power…Example: Mailman Mailwoman Mail carrier Letter Carrier Mailer Letterer??? Soldier Soldierette??? Chap 12 Development 6 A. Neoclassical school's current favorite Definitions LDCs = Less Developed Countries early step on inevitable path "there but for the grace of God go I" Old terms: underdeveloped, developing, primitive, traditional Chap 12 Development 7 A. Neoclassical school's current favorite Definitions IACs = Industrially Advanced Countries further step on path based on industrial age allows for future post-industrial acronym Old terms: developed, more-developed, modern, advanced Chap 12 Development 8 A. Neoclassical school's current favorite Definitions IACs and LDCs NOTE: Both terms are apologetic and yet hopeful Some are better off But you too can "own your own modern economy“… someday Chap 12 Development 9 B. Marxist School View of the Situation Underdevelopement An active state that results from outside exploitation and impoverishment Chap 12 Development 10 B. Marxist School View of the Situation Capitalist (Hegemonic Imperial) Countries parasitical exploiters economic colonial powers Chap 12 Development 11 B. Marxist School View of the Situation “Socialist” Countries -- supposedly the solution appear to have disappeared (if they ever existed) Chap 12 Development 12 B. Marxist School View of the Situation New rich are party's new role models By Antoaneta Bezlova May 8, 2002 atimes.com BEIJING - Newly rich entrepreneurs, despised as exploiters for much of China's communist era, have become the new role models for the Communist Party, which once defined itself as the "political party of the proletariat". Marking Labor Day on May 1, China canonized private entrepreneurs as "model workers" - an honor that in the past was deserved solely by state-sector workers. On that day, the All China Federation of Trade Unions awarded Labor Medals to four private businessmen, and declared another 17 entrepreneurs in the northwestern province of Shaanxi "model workers". Chap 12 Development 13 B. Marxist School View of the Situation implied fraternal nations neither exploiter nor exploited Is this possible??? Chap 12 Development 14 Conclusion How an Issue is Framed in Words Reflects Much about the agenda underlying the Solution www.olive.kiev.ua/pro/americandream.jpg http://www.affordableamericandream.us/images/housewithfamily. gif Chap 12 Development 15 2. Goals of Development What is the Agenda??? "More!" Samuel Gompers, President AFL "Love!" Timothy Leary, PhD, LSD Chap 12 Development 16 2. Goals of Development Chap 12 Development 17 2. Goals of Development What exactly is the good life and the just society and the proper stance towards nature? Very different answers will be given by people with different belief systems, or philosophies of life, or cultural explanations of the meaning of life and death. (Does this sound like Hoefstede???) Chap 12 Development 18 http://www.ted.com/talks/tim_jackson_s_economic_reality_check.html Chap 12 Development 19 2. Goals of Development – Denis Goulet’s Approach A New Ethics Of Development Denis Goulet examines alternatives to one-eyed views of the good life, the just society, and our relationship with nature in his interview with Mike Gismondi of Aurora Online Magazine. A pioneer in the study of development ethics, Denis Goulet began exploring this new inter-disciplinary realm in 1956. For ten years he served apprenticeships in France, Spain, Algeria, Lebanon, and Brazil to become familiar with the sociology and anthropology of underdevelopment. He has lived among nomadic tribesmen in the Sahara; worked as a factory hand and laborer in the United States, France, and Spain; served on development planning teams for national governments; and studied social change planning at universities and research institutes. He presently holds concurrent appointments in the Kellogg Institute for International Studies, the Department of Economics, and the Institute for International Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame. http://www.gateway.hr/index.php?folder=119&article=24 Chap 12 Development 20 2. Goals of Development Goulet's Three 1) Life Sustenance -- Guarantee basic needs (See textbook #s 1,2,3,7,8) 2) Esteem -- Individual Worth (See textbook #s 5,9 note that doesn't perfectly fit) 3) Freedom -- Pursuit of one's own dream to the level of one's own potential (See textbook #s 4,6) Chap 12 Development 21 Conclusion: Development has both economic and humanistic goals, but at times they are in a dynamic tension. More care for the human side can result in less current term economic gain More emphasis on the economic side can lead to greater inequality and unsustainable gains How might either of these effect the environment or the future??? NO EASY ANSWER, MORE BELIEF SYSTEM Chap 12 Development 22 3. Characteristics of LDCs Chap 12 Development 23 3. Characteristics of LDCs 1) Rapid Population Growth -- result of declining death rate not yet accompanied by declining birth rate Or in the case of China -- Demographic Momentum still results in crushing large additions to the Population 2) Unemployment/underemployment 3) Low labor productivity 4) Adverse climate and/or lack of natural resources 5) Lack of capital and Investment 6) Lack of technology 7) Local Cultural Factors can impede capitalist growth 8) Political Factors can also impede capitalist growth 9) Vicious Cycle of Poverty (see model next slide) Chap 12 Development 24 Model of the Vicious Cycle of Poverty Fig 13.16a Basically the argument here is that low incomes are both caused by and cause rapid population growth. Why? You explain. Chap 12 Development 25 Escaping the Vicious Cycle of Poverty To escape different groups offer different solutions: Direct investment perhaps FDI (capitalist – resource mobilization approach) Crash program in literacy (more socialist/humanist – human capital theory) Redistribution of existing capital (socialist/communist – end exploitation) Chap 12 Development 26 Model of escape Example of the Human Capital Approach Fig. 13.16b Basically High Education and Good Health are mutually reinforcing and lead to greater productivity and hence maintain our Environment. Question remains how do we START? Who pays for the investment in: • Education • Health Services • Resource Management • Enhanced Earning Capacity -- like new labor intensive industries for Export market Chap 12 Development 27 Model of Escape Each school would answer with its own bias Capitalist – foreign investment Humanist – local sources would be martialled and humanitarians and foreign aid would help Marxists – redistibution of existing capital Chap 12 Development 28 Conclusions: Many pitfalls face LDCs where, by some accounts, "The rich get richer and the poor have babies“ Some LDCs’ pitfalls a result of their own problems others not Export lead growth can cause wealth production, but for whom? Four major questions of the World Economy Cont…. www.rivertowns.net/rustad/xru015.gif Chap 12 Development 29 Conclusions: Many pitfalls face LDCs where by some accounts "The rich get richer and the poor have babies“ Others argue Sharing helps all For others nothing short of revolution will work www.rivertowns.net/rustad/xru015.gif Chap 12 Development 30 Move to Lecture 14 Mechanisms to start the development process Chap 12 Development 31 4. LDCs debt crisis Chap 12 Development 32 4. LDCs debt crisis Basically over-extended selves in 70s and couldn't repay in high price 80s of low oil year 90s Included oil rich and oil poor alike Chap 12 Development 33 4. LDCs debt crisis The Issue -- the crisis is like the person with so much credit card debt that they can't even make the minimum payment -and even if they did they are still enslaved to debt Chap 12 Development 34 4. LDCs debt crisis Result of the past by mid 80s more capital flow from LDCs to AICs than reverse IMF sets conditions for bail-out Goal: Restore LDC growth Reduce LDC Govt. involvement (more free mrkt) Expand exports Reduce imports (seen as luxury) Chap 12 Development 35 G-8 Agrees to some debt relief Aid to Africa and debt cancellation The traditional meeting of G8 finance ministers before the summit took place in London on 10 and 11 June 2005, hosted by Chancellor Gordon Brown. On 11 June, agreement was reached to write off the entire US$40 billion debt owed by 18 Highly Indebted Poor Countries to the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the African Development Fund. The annual saving in debt payments amounts to just over US$1 billion. War on Want estimates that US$45.7 billion would be required for 62 countries to meet the Millennium Development Goals. The ministers stated that twenty more countries, with an additional US$15 billion in debt, would be eligible for debt relief if they met targets on fighting corruption and continue to fulfill structural adjustment conditionalities that eliminate impediments to private investment. The agreement, which required weeks of intense negotiations led by Brown, must be approved by the lending institutions to take effect. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/31st_G8_summit#Aid_to_Africa_and_debt_cancellation Some argue this doesn’t go far enough Chap 12 Development 36 Conclusion Success or failure still open question, Arguments against debt relief Opponents of debt relief argue that it is a blank cheque to governments, and fear savings will not reach the poor in countries plagued by corruption. Others argue that countries will go out and contract further debts, under the belief that these debts will also be forgiven in some future date. They use the money to enhance the wealth and spending ability of the rich… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debt_relief Chap 12 Development 37 Wild card what happens when the Western World Economy is Threatened? CHINA A NEW SOURCE OF LOANS AND GRANTS???? Chap 12 Development 38 5. MEASURES OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT or how do we tell who is “developed” Chap 12 Development 39 5. MEASURES OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT A. PER CAPITA INCOME (GDP/Capita) 1. An easy to determine measure. How do you calculate this??? Chap 12 Development http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ea/GDP_nominal_per_capita_world_map_IMF_figures_for_year_2005.png 40 Criticism per capita income Five criticisms 1) distribution not included 2) exchange rate problems 3) value of goods not always comparable across nations 4) goods and bads both included (what does this mean?) 5) growth may not be sustainable -measures current consumption patterns not level of investment in the future Chap 12 Development 41 B. Consumer Purchasing power -- an alternate measure – addressed criticism #3 from above slide. Referred to as “PPP per capita” Purchasing Power Parity What is the difference of purchasing power and "per capita income"? Chap 12 Development 42 Geographic Comparison Per capita Income Note the subtle differences in PPP • Europe more complex • Africa more uniform, • S.America splits in two • US – Canada same Chap 12 Development PPP per capita 43 GDP – PPP table top 16 GDP ($) Rank Country GDP Rank (PPP) Country per capita $ per capita 1 Luxembourg 80,288 1 Luxembourg 69,800 2 Norway 64,193 2 Norway 42,364 3 Iceland 52,764 3 United States 41,399 4 Switzerland 50,532 4 Ireland 40,610 5 Ireland 48,604 5 Iceland 35,115 6 Denmark 47,984 6 Denmark 34,740 7 Qatar 43,110 7 Canada 34,273 8 United States 42,000 8 Hong Kong 33,479 9 Sweden 39,694 9 Austria 33,432 10 Netherlands 38,618 10 Switzerland 32,571 11 Finland 37,504 11 Qatar 31,397 12 Austria 37,117 12 Belgium 31,244 13 United Kingdom 37,023 13 Finland 31,208 14 Japan 35,757 14 Australia 30,897 15 Belgium 35,712 15 Netherlands 30,862 16 Canada 35,133 16 Japan 30,615 The table below includes data for the year 2005 for all 16 members of the International Monetary Fund.

ECONOMIC STRUCTURE 1. What kinds of jobs that appear under each of the four categories listed below? PRIMARY EMPLOYMENT SECONDARY TERTIARY QUATERNARY Which types of employment predominates in developed countries? Which in less developed? What type of job will most of the students in class hope to obtain? Chap 12 Development 46 D. PRODUCTIVITY – or more with less What is productivity? Output/input Why is it so important? Squeeze more from limited resources How does this relate to the effectiveness of the workforce? Are AICs always more productive? Consider energy use in Russia Or in China vs India Chap 12 Development 47 E. RAW MATERIALS -- country's inheritance – Development Or Windfall Wealth E. RAW MATERIALS -- country's inheritance Does this guarantee development? Explain. Chap 12 Development 48 E. RAW MATERIALS -- country's inheritance 1. Does this guarantee development? Petro State trap or Dutch disease. Consider Nigeria, Venezuela, or Native Americans Can be resource rich, income poor 2. Development vs Sustainable Development 3. Two approaches: a. Sell it off b. Combine it with technology to increase national wealth Example countries: Canada, Australia, S. Arabia What happens when the Aussies sell their last Chap 12 Development 49 load of iron ore to the Chinese? F. HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX -- This basically the same process as is done in the United States to rank best cities or universities (or for you sports fans, the same college football teams, only the variables are changed but the technique is the same) What variables are used to create the Human Development Index (HDI). What does it describe. What continent generally has the lowest HDI measures? What two continents have the highest level? Compare HDI to per capita income Leave these for you to read about Chap 12 Development 50 Chap 12 Development 51 G. Other measures There is basically a "cottage industry" in creating additional measures of development. Here is one for Happiness. Compare Mexico and US for Happiness. (next slide) Chap 12 Development 52 A Plateau of Happiness Chap 12 Development 53 Conclusions There is no single measure that fully describes development. A combination of measures provides a more complete picture Chap 12 Development 54 7. Core--Periphery Concepts vs. Growth Pole Chap 12 Development 55 Expanding Pattern of Core 7. Core--Periphery Concepts vs. Growth Pole I. The two camps A. Negative -- Marxian Approach B. Positive -- Perroux and Growth Poles (not dealt with in text) Chap 12 Development 57 Core--Periphery A. Negative -- Marxian Type Approach 1. World contains few small wealthy Cores surrounded and supplied by large poor Periphery (see Figures 14.1,18, 20, 25, 26 for international & national spatial examples) 2. Core acts as parasitical appendage on the landscape 3. Cores occur at various international, national, & local levels Chap 12 Development 58 7. Core--Periphery Concepts vs. Growth Pole B. Positive -- Perroux and Growth Poles (not dealt with in text) -- more NeoClassical Approach “Growth does not appear everywhere at the same time; it becomes manifest at points or poles of growth, with variable intensity; it spreads through different channels with variable terminal effects on the whole economy.” Francois Perroux Chap 12 Development 59 Growth Poles Agrees that 1.World contains few small wealthy Cores surrounded and supplied by large “less developed” Periphery 2. Core acts and draws upon periphery for resources, labor, and capital 3. Cores occur at various scales Chap 12 Development 60 Growth Poles Difference 1. This theory assumes Growth Poles are a natural evolution of world economies 2. Assumes that they are episodic and temporary – not permanent or predatory 3. Stresses the benefits to the Global Economy of such spatial constructs Chap 12 Development 61 Growth Poles -- Background François Perroux, 1903-1987 François Perroux belongs to that small, strange group of unique Frenchmen who, in spite of the Anglophone dominance of economics, still manage to occasionally infect the imagination of the economics world with their novel ideas. At Collège de France, Perroux studied under Etienne Antonelli, the last lingering shadow of the Lausanne School. In many ways, Perroux inherited the mantle of Leon Walras and carried it to perhaps where the failed engineering student would have liked to have taken it. Like Walras, he was a Cartesian in method, a socialist in sentiment and an evolutionist in vision. His early acquaintance and interaction with other independent thinkers, such as Pantaleoni, Aftalion, Schumpeter, Morgenstern and Allais, added even more streams of flavor into his unique blend of thinking. After setting up the Institut de Sciences Economiques Appliqueées (ISEA) in 1944, he had a chance to encounter and absorb the ideas of the younger economists which converged upon it. Chap 12 Development 62 Growth Poles -- Background Regional growth has been the subject of research going back to Francois Perroux' work on growth poles in the 1950s. In the US such research currently goes on under the label of "clusters" – Michael Porter of the Harvard Business School talks of the 'Diamond of Competitive Advantage'. The early literature on growth poles was concerned with the transport of physical goods and, for this reason, stressed the importance of physical proximity to the eventual success of a given growth pole. Work on clusters also stresses the importance of physical proximity, but with a much greater stress on face-to-face knowledge flows than on the flow of physical goods. (Growth-Nodes in a Knowledge-based Europe (G-NIKE), Researchers: Dr. Bertram Konert, Dirk Hermanns, http://www.eim.org/DigWorld/Projects/ViewDigworld.php3?ID=35 ) Chap 12 Development 63 Growth Poles & Their Impacts 1. Centers of Technology & Innovation suddenly appear on the landscape (ex. Silicon Valley) 2. Surrounding region benefits in a distance decay function (further away less benefit) 3. As original technology ages, Growth Pole faces crises Can decline (Detroit, Cleveland,... Seattle in the future???) Can create new technology & rebirth (Boston: textiles to computers) Chap 12 Development 64 The continuing Debate Marxian critique of Growth Poles: Continued existence of Pole indicates unequal, parasitical nature of Core Perrouxian response: Can not "engineer or create" Poles, therefore impossible to maintain them through inefficient, non-competitive relationships Simply the rich aren’t always going to be rich Chap 12 Development 65 Another View from the Left II. Wallerstein... & World Systems: Monopolies are the name of the game "All monopolies great and small will fall... but not too far" 1. International Core(s) in a Dynamic system, alternates between: Single Hegemonic Power with few colonies Many smaller Hegemonic Powers with many colonies Chap 12 Development 66 World Systems 2. Neither state is stable Single Super Power becomes overextended, as it polices the world then secondary powers save policing costs and bide their time Many smaller Powers results in rising tensions and emergence of new great power through conflict Chap 12 Development 67 World Systems 3. Periphery During period of one Super Power –All countries are informally tied to Hegemonic Single Power -- few colonies During period of many Powers -- smaller countries are formally tied to many Small Powers -- many colonies Chap 12 Development 68 World Systems 4. World Today (parting questions) Is there a single Hegemonic Super Power? b. b. Are there many Smaller Powers waiting in the wings? c. Are Colonial spheres being mapped out? a. Chap 12 Development 69 Another View from the Right III. Myrdal & Hirschman and the Local Regional Core--Periphery Mechanism – a way to explain the birth, growth and death of cores (growth poles) 1. "In the Beginning...“ (birth) there are two regions A and B each with ample factors Labor Capital Resources Chap 12 Development 70 Local Regional Core--Periphery Mechanism 2. "After the Fall..." Region A emerges as a Core (growth) jumps ahead technologically causing it to fully, efficiently use its factors of production gets "rich" Chap 12 Development 71 Local Regional Core--Periphery Mechanism 3. "Meanwhile back at the ranch..." (other region fails to grow) Region B workers and capitalists start moving to Region A to get "rich" Resources soon follow higher demands in Region A Chap 12 Development 72 Local Regional Core--Periphery Mechanism 4. "As the rich get richer..." (final stage of growth) More and more flows to Region A All new technology created in Region A "Circular and cumulative causation" sets in Few benefits "trickle down" to Region B Region B despairs and fails to create new technology Chap 12 Development 73 Local Regional Core--Periphery Mechanism 5. "The Second Coming...“ (death and rebirth) Government brings technology and capital to Region B Region B with lower labor and resource costs catches-up Chap 12 Development 74 EXAMPLES: 6. Case 1: Appalachia: New Government Interstates were built to lure industry into the mountains Instead enabled labor to leave more easily So does Government intervention work? If not why do we subsidize Boeing so much??? What about Bonneville Power??? Chap 12 Development 75 Examples Case 2: Asian Tigers & China Government "Developmental State" policies adopted Technology imported Walls of trade barriers created Cheap labor exploited Mobilization of resources has proven highly effective Creation of new technologies is still illusive (but for how long???) Does China trade fairly??? Chap 12 Development 76 Future??? Chap 12 Development 77 Closing shot As you read the textbook and review the study notes be sure that you look at the following issues discussed about Development Theory: Dependency Modernization World Systems Chap 12 Development 78 Conclusions Development is not evenly spread across the landscape. There are core and periphery regions The cause of core regions is open to debate At time in history there are single super powers and at others many powers, this difference effect the status of the core and periphery Chap 12 Development 79
