Developing Country Case Studies e-book

David Carpenter

22nd August 2014

At the end of last term all our year 12's were set the task of writing a short article about a different developing country. They were tasked with covering: Key information- e.g. GDP, HDI, Gini coefficient, indicators of level of poverty/developmentWhat factors are limiting growth & development in this countryHow is the government and other stakeholders trying to promote growth & development in this countryHow successful have they been so far?I have collated all these articles together into an e-book which teachers and students studying development economics should find very useful to make use of as part of the course.

For the Edexcel Economics course, which we study at school, this e-book will be invaluable for students writing essays for the development section of unit 4 as these categories are the key areas covered by the specification.

The e-book can be downloaded for around £2 from iBooks and Amazon.

All money raised will go to the Aspinall Foundation, a Kent-based wildlife conservation charity which works around the world and has successfully returned captive-born animals to the wild.

If you would like to do this project with your own students feel free to download this document. It would be great to have students from other schools contribute to the third edition of this e-book to make it even bigger and better- if you would be interested in this please get in touch via twitter or email.
