in the countries with the majority of natural resource endowments. “There are twenty-three countries in the world that derive at least sixty percent of their exports from oil and gas and not a single one is a real democracy” (Patrick). In developing countries, an increasingly important part of economic growth is the management of natural resources. This allows governments to deliver services to their citizens and it also creates jobs (“Creating Jobs”). The problem is that these countries do not…

that the majority of business that could be done across borders is still being done within the borders. Often times, developing countries or even undeveloped countries only receive business with wealthy countries if they have something to offer.

Natural Resources Defense Council are quick to chide other countries that heavily practice logging and export timber to other countries, yet the U.S. is the world’s largest importer of wood products! The U.S. is caught in an ethical crosshairs; while we may have reduced our logging rate and the associated ecological damage, we are still “exporting pollution” (Adams) to the countries we import from, some of which are vulnerable developing countries.
