Resource summary
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
