Study Notes
Concept of Development
- Development can be viewed as a process of continuous improvement in the standard of living, leading to an increase in per capita income.
- It involves not only economic growth but also social transformation, addressing various needs and aspirations of people and groups within a society.
Traditional and Modern Views of Development
- The traditional view of development focuses on economic growth, measured by an increase in income per capita.
- The modern view, however, emphasizes the need for broader social change, addressing issues like poverty, discrimination, and inequality.
Freedom and Development
- According to Amartya Sen's book "Development as Freedom" (2008), development can only be achieved when human freedom is enhanced, not just economic growth.
- This requires addressing the roots of unfreedom, such as poverty, discrimination, and inequality.
Progress vs. Development
- Progress refers to the visible outcomes of development, such as modern buildings and infrastructure.
- Development is the process that leads to these outcomes, involving improving human well-being and freedoms.
Importance of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
- FDI can contribute to rapid economic growth and progress in developing countries.
- However, it is essential to address the underlying issues of poverty, lack of education, and poor health standards that still persist in these countries.
Natural Resources and Economic Growth
- Natural resources, such as oil, can significantly contribute to economic growth in countries.
- Examples of countries that have experienced rapid economic growth due to their natural resources include UAE, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.
Concept of Development according to Fajardo
- Development is a progressive and active process of improving the human condition.
- Progress is the outcome of this process, manifested in visible signs like roads, vehicles, buildings, and other infrastructure.
