Indian Economic Development: Comparative Development Experiences of India and its Neighbours

Question:

Why do countries try and understand the developmental processes pursued by their neighbouring nations?

Options:

Allows them to better comprehend their own strengths and weaknesses in relation to their neighbours

Help them in building healthy relations with neighbours

As only neighbours help at the time of crisis in the country

All of the above

Correct Answer:

Allows them to better comprehend their own strengths and weaknesses in relation to their neighbours

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1: Allows them to better comprehend their own strengths and weaknesses in relation to their neighbors.

Countries study the developmental processes of their neighbors primarily to assess their own performance, learn from successes or failures, and make informed decisions about their policies.

While building relations with neighbors and potential support during crises can be factors, the main objective is to understand relative strengths and weaknesses.
