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: Burundi Benin Cameroon Nigeria Nicaragua Guatemala Central African Republic North Korea Angola Ghana Chad Yemen Eritrea Cuba Congo Thailand Egypt Iran Equatorial Guinea Zimbabwe Zambia Oman Ethiopia Philippines Congo Liberia Gabon Bahrain Tanzania India Guyana Mexico El Salvador Lebanon Honduras Pakistan Syria Guinea Kenya Sri Lanka Algeria Gambia Mozambique Senegal Malawi Indonesia Namibia Vietnam Morocco Myanmar Rwanda Haiti Sudan Bolivia Somalia Kuwait Mauritania Mali South Africa Iraq Botswana Bangladesh Tunisia Niger Libya Malaysia Uganda Panama 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 at least a six-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 at least five 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 at least seven 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.0p .

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 at least a six-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
at least five 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
at least seven credible sources
. Wikipedia, encyclopedias, dictionaries, blogs and other
material that does not qualify as reputable academic source

The 2016 Social Progress Index launched June 28. It covers 133 countries with 53 indicators of social and environmental outcomes. Higher GDP per capita alone does not determine real quality of life. The Index ranks Finland the world’s most socially progressive country; Canada in second place tops the G7 nations. Economic growth is not the sole determinant of quality of life. The 2016 Index finds that while social progress—which includes measures of opportunity, healthcare, education and tolerance—does tend to rise as GDP increases, economic wealth on its own does not explain social progress outcomes.

More recently another measure, the Human Development Index (HDI), which combines an economic measure, national income, with other measures, indices for life expectancy and education has become prominent. This criterion would define developed countries as those with a very high (HDI) rating. A developing country, also called a less developed country is a nation with a less developed industrial base, and a low Human Development Index (HDI) relative to developed countries. Developing countries are, in general, countries that have not achieved a significant degree of industrialization relative to their populations, and have, in most cases, a medium to low standard of living. There is a strong association between low income and high population growth. The World Bank classifies all low- and middle-income countries as developing but notes, "The use of the term is convenient; it is not intended to imply that all economies in the group are experiencing similar development or that other economies have reached a preferred or final stage of development. Classification by income does not necessarily reflect development status. gender equity refers to the economic, social, political, and cultural attributes and opportunities associated with being male or female.

Assignment Option 2: Fragile State Analysis For your portfolio project, you will evaluate a fragile (formerly called failed) state and develop a plan to help it recover and get back on the right track. This will involve a survey of the country’s history, the source of its problems, information about its people, economy, and culture, and its potential to succeed if given a chance. The Global Policy Forum website provides information on fragile/failed states in general, as well as specific states. ForeignPolicy.com provides the 2014 list of most fragile/failed states. You may choose your country for this study from the countries in dark red on the map at the bottom of the opening page. General information : Population of the country (see 1 below for more information) Important ethnic or racial groups and divisions Per capita gross domestic product (see 2 below for more information) UN Human Development Index rankings (see 2 below for more information) Freedom House scores for political rights and civil liberties (see 3 below for more information) The economic position of your country compared to other countries (wealthy, poor, middle income). History : Provide an overview of the country’s history, focusing on when and why it began to have problems leading to its fragile/failed status. Classification and structure of government : Although fragile/failed states lack an effective government, this does not mean that no one is trying to run the country or at least parts of the country. Who is trying to govern your chosen country? How are they attempting to do this? Are there attempts to hold elections? If so, how are these elections conducted, and what is voter turnout (See 4 below for more information)? When was the most recent election held, and what were the results?
