GOVT 84.01 Dilemmas of Development: India, China, and Middle East
China and India have witnessed extraordinary economic growth and development during the last three decades, and now rank as two of the world’s fastest growing economies. In contrast, countries in the Middle East have economically often stagnated, seemingly incapable to implement economic reforms that could lead to sustained growth and development. What prompted these different outcomes? This seminar investigates the multiple strategies and elements behind the economic success of China and India, and those that explain the lack of economic performance in the Middle East.
