Summing up We have seen two sets of models Nationalist models Globalization What kind of solutions do they propose?

Modernization Economic growth Structural shift from agriculture to industry Recall Landes and Rostow – ‘winners’ and ‘losers’

Case for Free Trade Trade is mutually beneficial There are always gains from trade although gains are not equal

Comparative Advantage Ricardo's argument: there are gains from trade if each nation specializes completely in the production of the good in which it has a "comparative" cost advantage in producing, and then trades with the other nation for the other good.

Case Against Free Trade National security; mercantilism Infant industry argument Beggar-thy-neighbour One country can not indulge in free trade alone “ we cannot force you to be free ”

Can trade work differently? International Trade is currently worth $10 million a minute. Who controls it? Have you heard of fair trade? What is fair trade?

Aid: Can aid help? Disease (e.g. AIDS) Disaster (Tsumani; Katrina) Hunger and Famine (Niger, Mali, Ethiopia, Somalia, India…) What is aid? What power, if any does the aid recipient have?

Motivations behind Aid Help; charity; altruism Security concerns Redistributive justice

Is aid necessary? Average spending on health in low-income countries is $11 per capita. The cost of providing basic healthcare is estimated at $30 a person. For a country like Mali, where more than half the population lives on less than $1 a day, it would cost an additional $26 per person—or about 10% of GDP.

Mali’s options What if Mali refused aid? What would happen? Who gains and who loses? What if Mali takes aid? What happens then?

Which is true? We are hungry We have a food surplus

Famine, shortage or? Chronic hunger, malnutrition and vulnerability Causes: Landelessness, food insecurity, high and unpredictable food prices Unemployment Patriarchy ( Niger women 'banned from grain stores) ‘ Can aid address these “ structural ” factors?

Aid and Disasters “Disaster capitalism” Disaster profiteering 029
