Industry, Trade and Development

How should we measure development, and why have some places industrialised faster than others? Learners calculate parts of the Human Development Index and compare it with income measures, test Rostow's stages and world-systems theory against evidence, examine how foreign investment and special economic zones transformed places such as Shenzhen and Bangladesh's garment industry, and evaluate development strategies from export-led growth to fair trade and microfinance.

  • About 115 minutes
  • Industry, trade and development check: 10 questions
