international trade and development
  1. Trade Strategies
    1. Import substitution (producing goods domestically instead of importing)
      1. Advantages
        1. Protects domestic jobs and can increase domestic employment since foreign firms are prevented from competing so domestic firms dominate
          1. Protects the local culture and social habits by isolating the economy from foreign influence
            1. Protects the economy from the power and influence of MNCs
        2. Disadvantages
          1. It may only create jobs in the short run, in the long run economic growth may be lower and this could lead to lack of job creation
            1. Country does not have access to comparative advantage and specialization so production may be relatively inefficient
              1. no competition could lead to inefficiency and lack of R & D
                1. may lead to inflation due to domestic aggregate demand supply constraints
                  1. may cause other countries to take protectionist measures
          2. Necessary conditions
            1. government adopted policies of organizing the selection of goods to produce (normally labour intensive, low skill manufactured)
              1. Subsidies are made available to encourage domestic industries
                1. Protectionist system with tariff barriers to keep out foreign imports
              2. Export Promotion
                1. increasing exports should lead to an increase in GDP and in turn higher incomes and eventually growth in domestic and export markets
                  1. Country needs to adopt liberalized trade to open up domestic markets to international competition in order to gain access to foreign markets
                    1. Liberalised capital flows: reduce restrictions on FDI
                      1. Floating exchange rate
                        1. Investment in the provision of infrastructure to enable trade to take place
                          1. Deregulation and minimal government intervention
                  2. Disadvantages
                    1. Advantages
                  3. Trade Liberalization (removal/ reduction of trade barriers that block the free trade of goods and services between countries- elimination of trade barriers, quotas, export subsidies and administrative legislation
                    1. Diversification
                      1. solves the problem of over-specialization or PPD
                        1. Aims to move away from primary product exportation to the production and export of semi-manufactured products
                          1. Protects the country from volatile prices, stabilizes and increases export revenue and employment- there will be an increased use of technology and demand for more highly skilled workers
                          2. Barriers
                            1. tariff escalation from other developing countries and the need for a highly skilled more qualified work force in order to produce relatively more sophisticated products
                        2. Free trade (aims to ensure that producers receive a fair price when they sell their products)
                          1. minimum price that covers production costs and provides a living income
                            1. trader must be commited to a long-term contract which in turn gives security to the producer
