Abstract

Problémy modernizácie, regionálneho rozvoja a ekonomického rastu rozvojových krajín sú predmetom neustálych diskusií. V sociálnych vedách sa kryštalizujú dva zdanlivo protichodné pohľady na fungovanie ekonomiky a spoločnosti rozvojových krajín. Jeden je ekonomický, druhý geografický. V tomto článku sa pokúsime ukázať, aký je príspevok ekonomických geografov k riešeniu problémov nerovnomerného rozvoja, chudoby a hladu. V príspevku ponúkneme odpovede na tieto otázky: Aké sú prvotné príčiny hladu a chudoby? Môžu ekonomické normy a pravidlá prevzaté z iných regiónov sveta vyriešiť tieto problémy? Akú úlohu tu zohráva geografia? (Modernization, regional development and economic growth in developing countries belong to the most discussed issues of the contemporary world. In social science, two seemingly contradictory views on economy and society of developing countries have emerged. These are the economic view and the geographical perspective. In the present paper, we identify contributions of economic geographers to the search for solutions of problems of unequal development, poverty and famine in developing countries. The main questions discussed in the paper include: What are the primary causes of famine and poverty? Is application of economic norms and strategies used in other regions of the world a suitable solution? What is the role of geography in this aspect?)
