B) the global south needed a leader, which can only be found in Europe
C) Europe is the largest continent in the world
D) Europe survived most development crisis in the past

Development as a project originated in the colonial era because European powers once depended on their colonies for resources and markets. The colonial powers believed that they were bringing civilization and progress to their colonies through their development efforts.

Question 2

The advantage of the Human Development Index (HDI) over the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is that it (HDI) focuses more on ______.
A) composite economic indicators
B) composite assets
C) composite of life expectancy and literacy
D) composite of morbidity and mortality

Accepted Answer

The Human Development Index (HDI) focuses on a composite of life expectancy and literacy, which are important indicators of a country's overall development beyond just economic measures like Gross Domestic Product (GDP). While GDP measures a country's economic output and growth, the HDI provides a more holistic view of a country's development that takes into account factors directly related to human well-being.

Question 3

The development paradox refers to the extent to which participatory methods reproduce ______, and renew development's legitimacy as poverty adversary.
A) class equality
B) class conflict
C) income
D) inequalities

Accepted Answer

The development paradox refers to the way in which participatory methods intended to empower marginalized communities can often reproduce pre-existing inequalities within society. This paradox can also result in the legitimization of the developmental process, leading to the continued acceptance of development as a poverty alleviation tool despite the persistence of inequalities. Therefore, the best choice is D, inequalities.

Forced labor schemes, schooling, and segregation were all forms of social engineering used by European colonizers to develop their colonies.

B) development should follow Western model of free enterprise
C) development should create a society in which all are equal
D) development should lead to underdevelopment

Accepted Answer

Walt Rostow's "Stages of Economic Growth" promotes the idea that all countries can and should follow the Western model of free enterprise in order to reach economic development. This means that economic growth should be driven by market forces and private enterprise, rather than relying on government intervention or aid. Rostow believed that development would lead to increased individualism and democracy, but did not emphasize the importance of creating a society in which all are equal.

The theorization of development as a series evolutionary, linear stages is most associated with the work of ______.
A) Walt Towsrow
B) Walt Rostow
C) Walt Veigen

B) political alliance between the West and the Soviet Union
C) political context and a development state willing to create and protect free enterprise
D) political leaders unwilling to fight terrorism and other global wars

Accepted Answer

Rostow believed that for his theory to succeed, a development state must exist that is willing to create and protect free enterprise. Thus, political context plays a crucial role in implementing the Stages of Growth theory. The other choices are not relevant to the success of Rostow's theory.

Question 11

______ stages of growth include the traditional stage, the take-off stage, the drive to technological maturity, and the high mass consumption stage.
A) Wallerstein's
B) Durkheim's
C) Marx's

A) First World occurred at the expense of the underdevelopment of the Third World
B) Third World was delayed because of religious beliefs
C) First World was solely responsible for the underdevelopment of the Third World
D) Third World was spurred by environmental conditions

Accepted Answer

Dependency analysis argues that the development of the First World was achieved through the exploitation and underdevelopment of the Third World. This means that the wealth and resources of the Third World were used to fuel the development of the industrialized nations, leaving the Third World impoverished and lacking in economic and social development.

Question 13

All of the following are associated with dependency analysis, except ______.
A) Hans Singer
B) Raul Prebisch
C) Andre Gunder Frank
D) Edward Said

Accepted Answer

Dependency theory is a theory of economic development that emphasizes the unequal distribution of resources between developed countries and developing countries. Hans Singer, Raul Prebisch, and Andre Gunder Frank are all associated with dependency analysis, while Edward Said is not. Said is well-known for his work in postcolonial studies, which is related to but distinct from dependency theory.

Question 14

In World Systems and Dependency analysis model, the ______ or ______ countries, typically extract resources from ______ or ______ countries.
A) semi-periphery or First World, core or First World
B) core or First World, peripheral or Third World
C) periphery or Third World, core or First World
D) core or Second World, peripheral or First World

Accepted Answer

In the World Systems and Dependency analysis model, core or First World countries are typically more developed and extract resources from peripheral or Third World countries, which are less developed. This model describes the global economic system as divided into a hierarchy of core, semi-periphery, and periphery countries, with wealth and power concentrated in the core countries.

Question 15

The "development project" and "globalization project" are similar in all of these respects, except that ______.
A) both projects focus on the relations between First and Third World
B) both projects are consequences of post-colonialism

D) both projects emphasized the important role of the market

Question 17

The sustainability project is a response to the development and globalization projects in the sense that it addresses the ______.
A) benefits of development
B) social and environmental crises caused by globalization
C) challenges posed by climate change only
D) political power vacuums caused by development

Accepted Answer

The sustainability project aims to address the social and environmental crises that are caused by globalization and development, such as climate change, resource depletion, and loss of biodiversity. While development and globalization have brought benefits, they have also caused negative impacts that need to be addressed for a more sustainable future. Political power vacuums are not directly addressed by the sustainability project.
