International trade

/in /by

Question

International trade allows a country to specialize in the manufacture and export of products that it can produce

efficiently, and import products that can be produced more efficiently in other countries.

Some patterns of trade are fairly easy to explain—it is obvious why Saudi Arabia exports oil, the United States exports agricultural products, and Mexico exports labor-intensive goods. Yet others are not so obvious or easily explained, such as cars exported from Japan. 

Respond to the following:

•  Most countries create a list of “hostile” countries that require special permission before an exporter will be allowed to proceed. Choose the countries and products you would like to place on this list for your nation. Post the list along with the explanation for each product and country.

Indonesia’s economic growth

/in /by

Question

Indonesia’s economic growth has been hampered for decades, first because of the dictatorship of former President

Suharto and the massive debts that were accumulated during his regime, and, more recently, because of the country’s excessive red tape and corruption that make it difficult to start a business. Transparency International ranks Indonesia among the most corrupt nations in the world. Economic growth is also hindered by the country’s poor infrastructure and low level of labor productivity. You will probably agree that Indonesia’s problems are interrelated. For example, the red tape and corruption that scare off potential foreign investors also mean that the country loses the jobs and the capital that could improve its economy and infrastructure.

Respond to the following:

•  Read Chapter 3 from your textbook and explain why or why not you think the Indonesian economy grew despite or because of a totalitarian regime.
•  Discuss what might explain India’s relatively poor performance under a democratic political system.
