Factors that have led to contemporary differences in development
- Frank's depenancy Theory
- MEDCs exploit LEDCs that are rich in natural resources i.e. Oil
- creating a relationship of dominance and dependancy
- NICs (Newly Industrialised Countries)
- Malaysia - developed through physical resources such as
- Oil in the South China Sea
- Globalisation of Communication
- improvements in technolgy has led to MEDCs
- growth in development, widening the gap
- Migration
- the poor migrate from LEDCs to MEDCs in search of work and money
- causing development in LEDCs to stagnate due to poor work force
- and development in MEDCs to increase
- (2 million people a year crossing Mediterranean
- Debt
- 'Rich get richer, poor get poorer'
- As areas like those in Sub Sharan Africa who are in masses
- of debt are unable to develop in any way shape or form
- so MEDCs can develop off the money they are making
- further widening the development gap
- $11 billion owed by Africa
- • Landlocked countries in Africa/East Asia next to other deprived nations, can have conflicts
- as in the Middle East = poor trade
- Globalisation
- • Multiplier effect
- chain of new industry increasing connections
