4.3 Emerging and developing economies
Students should understand the ways in which development may be measured, and the nature and causes of constraints on growth and development. They should understand the nature of different measures to promote growth and development, and be able to evaluate them, remembering that the validity of different measures is dependent on the particular characteristics of the country undergoing development. For all parts of this section, case studies may be particularly useful. For example, it might be helpful to consider at least one Asian country, one African country and one South American country.
