Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Politics - Topic: Development Politics, , language: English, abstract: The 21st century has brought drastic changes into the entire international society. Over the last several years there were a lot of changes in the world that directly or implicitly had a great impact on the international economy. Recent financial recession, constant and fast globalization, technological revolution, and frequent development of the less-industrialized countries are only several alterations experienced by the international economic system. It is rather clear today that old schemes and structures soon enough will not meet the requirements of the modern world. The balance of power in the world is changing rather fast and at the same time, despite the knowledge people obtain today, there are still such constructs as poverty and starvation. The financial and economic downturn of 2007-2008 revealed that the international economic system is extremely vulnerable, but when a great amount of effort was implemented in prevention of the similar situation in the wealthy nations, little was done to research the impact of economic downturn on the poor nations. It is possible to argue that the frameworks existing today have to be changed in order to meet the requirements of the current system. At this point, it has to be noted that for the last several years the economic development of such counties as South Korea, China, and India has become one of the most vivid illustrations that it is possible to change the situation by introducing proper policies. While there are several examples demonstrating that fast and effective industrialization is not a myth, it is also impossible not to notice the countries that have shortage of the most necessary commodities as clean water and food. Lack of resources, armed conflicts, absence of proper legislation, and faulty governance are the most wide-spread reasons for the extreme poverty. At the same time, blaming internal factors only is not quite right in this situation. Development of international organizations and especially international blocs, like European Union (EU) countries, or World Trade Organization (WTO) members, that changed the architecture of international trading system, influenced on the ability to compete in the market where the poor counties do not stand a chance. At this point, it is possible to notice that the alterations like technical advancement increased the opportunities in the wealthy counties presenting them more possibilities to grow. [...]

In the crowded field of climate change reports, 'WDR 2010' uniquely: emphasizes development; takes an integrated look at adaptation and mitigation; highlights opportunities in the changing competitive landscape; and proposes policy solutions grounded in analytic work and in the context of the political economy of reform.
This open access book explores the most recent trends in the EU in terms of development, progress, and performance. Ten years after the 2008 economic crisis, and amidst a digital revolution that is intensifying the development race, the European Union, and especially Central and Eastern Europe, are ardently searching for their development priorities. Against this background, by relying on a cross-national perspective, the authors reflect upon the developmental challenges of the moment, such as sustainable development, reducing inequality, ensuring social cohesion, and driving the digital revolution. They particularly focus on the relation between the less-developed Eastern part of the EU and its more developed Western counterpart, and discuss the consequences of this development gap in detail. Lastly, the book presents a range of case studies from different areas of governance, such as economy and commerce, health services, education, migration and public opinion in order to investigate the trends most likely to impact the European Union's medium and long-term development.

Over the past two decades, the percentage of the world’s population living on less than a dollar a day has been cut in half. How much of that improvement is because of—or in spite of—globalization? While anti-globalization activists mount loud critiques and the media report breathlessly on globalization’s perils and promises, economists have largely remained silent, in part because of an entrenched institutional divide between those who study poverty and those who study trade and finance. Globalization and Poverty bridges that gap, bringing together experts on both international trade and poverty to provide a detailed view of the effects of globalization on the poor in developing nations, answering such questions as: Do lower import tariffs improve the lives of the poor? Has increased financial integration led to more or less poverty? How have the poor fared during various currency crises? Does food aid hurt or help the poor? Poverty, the contributors show here, has been used as a popular and convenient catchphrase by parties on both sides of the globalization debate to further their respective arguments. Globalization and Poverty provides the more nuanced understanding necessary to move that debate beyond the slogans.
