Description

This series examines development and the economies of Malaysia, Peru and Niger. Although these three countries were subjugated by different colonial powers, the impact was often the same: an emphasis on exports which disrupted the traditional economy and values, and the exploitation of ethnic groups in order to facilitate foreign rule. Even after independence, economic and social problems remain.
