内容説明

This is a comprehensive guide to the resources, in agricultural, mineral and population terms, of the countries of the Third World. This book analyzes the contribution which the possession of resources makes to economic development. It also examines the factors which make for wealth and poverty, and the relationship between the advanced economics of the North and the developing economies of the South. The second part of the book consists of separate analyses of the 144 countries of the Third World. These have been divided into five groups: the three major countries, Brazil, China and India, each considered to have the potential to develop into a major world economy; the 14 "crossover" states - countries which could move from developing to developed states in the near future; the 12 oil states; the 80 low-and middle income countries; and the 35 mini-states.

内容説明

The Resources of the Third World provides a comprehensive survey of those countries that are considered to belong to the Third World or less developed countries, those that the World Bank classifies as low- or middle-income economies. The book analyzes the contribution that possession of resources makes to economic development. Guy Arnold defines resources in broad terms--not only the traditionally analyzed resources of agricultural and mineral wealth but also the less well studied resources of infrastructure and, especially, population, and the talents, education, and training of that population. In Part I, Overview, Arnold examines these resources and defines the relationship between the advanced economies of the North and the developing economies of the South. In Part II, Country Surveys, he provides individual analysis of some 144 countries of the South in an effort to define their potential and probable development during the first few decades of the 21st century. The Resources of the Third World will be an essential text for any researcher, librarian, or student with an interest in Third World studies.
