Who are the actors: government, grassroots. Also play a large role in government. What are the issues: poverty, income distribution, health, education, ppp. The contrast: global north/ south, developed countries and underdeveloped countries. Harry truman defining development: 1949 was one of the first time there was mention of the contrast between the developed/underdeveloped areas. Development: for the purpose of this class, development is a process not a condition. Monetary value of final goods and services a country consumes. Net exports: exports sold imports purchased, this must be measured on a per capita basis to measure development. However, gdp per capita is an average and disregards extremes: strengths. Doesn"t take into account all needs of life. Depict more than the average of an entire country.
