As you might know, the Communist Paradise of North Korea (I hope you got the irony) has held a congress for the first time in 30 years. There is much to say about this country, but there is probably not another image that highlights their problem as this satellite image. (see link) http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/dprk/dprk-dark.htm
Also, consider the differences in economic development displayed in this image of the border between Haiti and the Dominic Republic, sharing and island but unfortunately not governance. http://therogersinhaiti.wordpress.com/2009/12/10/haiti-and-the-environment/
Heard about the blog from the 08s!
SvaraRaderaCool initiative, now I'm reading development full time and I'd reaaally recomend u guys to read The end of poverty by Jeffery Sachs, okey he thinks he's God but it's a great book about development! (nice case studies too!)
Now I'm getting back to my development theories yeey.
