Your Revision checklist
As part of the course you need to have a
detailed case study of LIDC or EDC. This book uses
Indonesia (p.43), an Emerging and Developing
Country (EDC).
You should be able to comment on Indonesia’s
changing economic development. This should include
being able to discuss the influence of and
interrelationships between:
¤ The country’s geographical location, and environmental
context including landscape, climate, ecosystems and the
availability and type of natural resources (pp.44-45).
¤ The country’s political development and relationships
with other states (p.46). This will also involve the principal
imports and exports and the relative importance of trade
and international investment (pp.47-48).
¤ Changing employment structure (p.49) and population
change (p.49). You should be aware of social factors, such as
access to education and healthcare provision (p.50).
¤ Technological developments, such as communications
technology (pp.47-48).
¤ One aid project, in this case, Bali ReGreen (p.51).
Finally, you should be able to relate Indonesia to
Rostow’s model and discuss the country’s path of
economic development (pp.52-53).
