China has claimed land in the South China Sea, which has threatened neighboring countries and the United States. As US Representative to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), I have come up with a policy that goes along with the current Representative, Secretary Jacob Lew to reduce the threat through economic means. Currently, “The United States does not take a position on the sovereignty of any of the land features in the South China Sea, but we do believe that all claimants should exercise…

ve the developed countries the advantage when they purchased these materials from the developing nations (Martinussen, 1997: 91). This practice was seen as a catalyst of underdevelopment. Emmanuel’s theory became the subject of much debate and many theorists reworked some of his ideas. In the 1970s Geoffery Kay came up with his own theory of unequal exchange and he attempted to incorporate the ideas of Emmanuel to it to try and explain his ideas on the causes of underdevelopment.

The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund are very important engines in the greater machine of globalization. Depending on the perspective, their operations over their existence Africa can be seen as a success, or a series of failures. I believe that ultimately they have failed Africa.

First, he argues that the number of relevant actors has increased, posing challenges of coordination and increasing the potential for conflicting approaches. He provides the following example to back up this claim: “the focus of China’s aid on infrastructure is generally regarded as very welcome, because this has been an area…

What is the purpose of a government? Why does it exist and what were they created to do? Reflecting back to history, we can see the role the government plays to protect and bring prosperity to their citizens.

When countries have a steady government and good policies, they can flourish. If bad policies are written and elites continue to run the government, these countries will remain trapped as “failing states.”…

America has been leading the world in the cotton industry for over 200 years (Rivoli 7). This is surprising for many reasons. America is competing with the world’s poorest, least developed countries.

Another surprising factor is that cotton itself seems like a doubtful contestant for economic success. Despite these factors, America has continued to remain the…
