Reflection - How are imports from the global South thought

Reflection

Using the readings by Alderson and Nielsen (2002) and Mahutga and Jorgenson (2016), answer the following questions in two sentences or less.

• How are imports from the global South thought to increase inequality in developed countries?
• How are exports to the global North thought to increase inequality in less-developed countries?

Synthesizing information from the two readings and the lecture, answer ONE of the following two questions:

• How should institutions alter the relationship between imports from the global South and income inequality in developed countries? Cite any relevant evidence to support this idea.
• How should EU integration alter the relationship between exports to the global North and income inequality in less-developed countries? Cite any relevant evidence to support this idea.
