This assignment calls for you to select two Less Developed
Countries (LDCs) and assess if there are any factors that are
common to both as far as their development is concerned. Your
two countries
must
come from the following list (see attached).
Source:
United Nations, 2014
It may help you to be familiar with the concept of poor
governance, because this often plays a significant part in why a
country is underdeveloped. According to the World Bank,
governance
is defined as how power is exercised in the management of a
country's economic and social resources for development.
Therefore, if
good governance
is synonymous with sound development management, then
poor governance
means a government has failed to deliver desirable outcomes
for its people. This could mean that officials are corrupt, not
transparent with their decisions, unqualified to make decisions
in the first place, or prone to make decisions based on racism,
tribalism or ethnicity — all of which are very common practices
in LCDs.The most common factor used to decide whether
countries are underdeveloped nations is through the Human
Development Index. Countries that are underdeveloped in nature
offer poor health care, few educational opportunities, a low
average life expectancy, a low number of job opportunities, few
recreational facilities, poor economic growth, a low standard of
living and a poverty-stricken life.
Instructions:
Write a 8 page paper, in which you:
Identify the two LDCs (from the list above), which you will
compare and assess. Explain why you chose these two
countries.
Analyze the features that the LDCs have in common using 7
of the following nine factors
(clearly label the five factors using headings):
geography
extractive institutions
governmental corruption
internal or external conflicts
shaky financial systems
unfair judicial systems
ethnic, racial or tribal disparities
lack or misuse of natural resources
closed (statist) economies
Use
10 credible sources
. Wikipedia, encyclopedias, dictionaries, blogs and other
material that does not qualify as reputable academic source
work at the college level. Do not use sources that are older than
seven years.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
Be typed, double-spaced (no extra spacing between paragraphs),
using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins
on all sides.
Citations and references must follow APA
here is the example of APA:
https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/18/
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the
student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the
date (do not include an abstract).
The cover page and the reference page are not included in the
required assignment page length. Graphs, tables and
photographs are
not
counted toward the length of the paper; only what you have
written as text itself.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this
assignment are:
Determine why private investment, open political competition
and the intelligent use of natural resources can serve as
incentives to further economic development.
Decide why good governance, a sound financial system, and a
fair system of judicial justice are necessary to development.
Assess why enforceable environmental regulations are critical
to sustaining development.
Use technology and information resources to research issues in
sociology of developing countries.
Write clearly and concisely about sociology of developing
countries using proper writing mechanics.
