Development and Social Change Test Bank
What follows are examples of questions for instructors to pose to students to help them make
the connections necessary to following the text, and its interpretation of the world of
development. Five questions for each chapter will focus on the chapter’s content, cumulative
Chapter 4. Globalizing Developments.
1. What were the political, social, and economic conditions for the development of a global
production system? What links the ‘world factory’ to the ‘world farm,’ and how do
gender, ecology and consumerism feature in their emergence?
2. What is attractive about the Export Processing Zone (EPZ) to host governments, and how
has such ‘export-oriented industrialization’ (EOI) transformed the meaning of the
development project?
3. In what sense is global development realized through inequality? Does this change the
meaning of development, or confirm that development is a process for the long term (as
in the idea of a ‘development ladder’)?
4. In what ways does outsourcing alter government, and corporate, control (respectively)
over the development process? What are the associated costs and benefits of such
‘globalization’ in both First and Third Worlds?
5. What new technological, social, and regional relationships stand behind the ‘world farm’
and the New Agricultural Countries (NAC) phenomenon?
6. What are the similarities and differences between the 1960’s green revolution and the
second green revolution? What model of development does each promote, how and
why?
7. In what sense did the emergence of the ‘global economy’ as the unit of development
depend on the decline of Third World political solidarity and ‘economic nationalism’?
8. In what ways did the debt crisis serve as a dress rehearsal for the globalization project?
