This blog gives information for Julia Smith's class, "Revolution and Development in the Third World" at EWU. I'll be linking to interesting news items and things I'd like you to look at. All class critical materials will also be distributed in class. It should be a great time!
There is no place for week three Response, so I'm posting mine here, so that I get it turned in.

The ways to remove barriers to trade on page 116 and 117 is the area that most interested me in chapter 4. The first and most obvious way was through military action the second way was through agreements with other countries such as the NAFTA agreement with Canada, USA, and Mexico. The third is through actions taken by a multinational organization like the IMF or the World Bank and the last is by joining a group such as the WTO. This section also talks about wether the removal of trade barriers helps or hurts certain countries which from what I’ve read and learned in class I feel that some of the more powerful countries kind of push around some of the smaller developing countries to get their way which makes them more productive at the detriment of those countries economies and agricultural production.
