1. Obstacles to developmentObstacles to development
2. Governance Certainly there is a great deal of evidence to suggest that disparities in the level of development between countries are related to governance and that poor governance is an obstacle to development. •The decisions governments make particularly in terms of public spending •The economic / political ideology •The level of corruption •The amount of bureaucracy and hindrance to private enterprise •The accountability of government to its people •
3. Access to Capital The growth of the economies of most of the richer countries in the world has been based on the right to own property and access to capital. Without access to capital businesses cannot grow.
4. Disease Diseases such as Malaria and HIV/Aids reduce the productivity of a country because death rates among economically active population are increased, people are too sick to work or caring for the sick. High levels of disease, infant mortality rates and fertility rates can be related to poor provision of health care Nagle page 438/9
5. Natural Hazards Back to the idea of environmental determinism. Natural hazards can be an obstacle to development. Drought (Ethiopia mid 1980s), 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami impact on Indonesia, regular flooding in Bangladesh, tropical storm damage in Caribbean.

9. There is no easy answer The theories attempting to explain disparities in development between countries are complex and offer sometimes opposing ideas. The obstacles to development are in some cases environmental but in all cases a combination of internal and external economic, social and political factors are involved. The debate on the different approaches to development is fiercely fought…
