25
Consequences of political globalisation
* IGOs have more power
* IGOs are largely operated by HICs in the interests of HICs
* Imperialism/neo-colonialism - LICs are indirectly controlled by HICs
26
Why should Indonesia be a wealthy country? 🇮🇩
It is rich in copper, gold, oil, timber and the skills and labour of its people
27
Who do some say control Indonesia? 🇮🇩
Dictated by IMF and World Bank because the Indonesian elite is considered spineless
28
Describe the working and moving conditions of those working in slums in Indonesia 🇮🇩

What is the formula for the Gino Coefficient?
A/(A+B)
106
The development gap
* The differences between the most and least advanced countries/regions
* Defines how far apart they are in terms of development, economy and education
107
Gino coefficient
* Gini index measures the extent to which the distribution of income or consumption expenditure among individuals or households within an economy deviates from a perfectly equal distribution
* A gini index of 0 represents perfect equality
* A gini index of 100 implies perfect inequality
108
What indices can be used to measure a development gap?
* HDI index and rank
* Life expectancy at birth
* Expected year of schooling
* GNI/capita
* Carbon emissions/capita
109
Why is it argued that globalisation widens the development gap?
Because globalisation makes the rich richer and the poor poorer
110
Why is it argued that globalisation is closing the development gap?
Because it increases many countries’ capita
111
What does the HDI trend show
That countries are increasing in HDI which shows the effect of globalisation - as a country gets richer, HDI, life expectancy, expected years of schooling, GNI/capita and carbon emissions also increase
112
Cultural mixing - open borders
