Iran, India and Mexico are located in extremely different parts of the world, which makes them very different from each other. The three countries have different histories, geographies and natural resources that have shaped their development. However, an analysis of the economic development and globalization of Iran, India and Mexico, access and coverage by media and political leaders, shows that there are some undeniable similarities. Although the three countries are somewhat similar, overall Iran, India and Mexico are extremely different from each other; each country has a different historical background that has made it what it is today economically, socially and politically.I. Economic Development and GlobalizationIran: In Iran, the economy relies on oil for much of the government's revenue. Overall in Iran, the state has a very ineffective state sector, with statist policies controlling much of what is economic policy. This creates many economic problems, forcing the Iranian economy to rely on oil. There is not much private sector in Iran beyond small workshops, agriculture and some manufacturing activities. Price controls and government subsidies often hinder private sector growth. In Iran, there is a good amount of informal economic exchange outside of government regulation, as well as corruption. In the early 1990s, the Iranian government realized that it was necessary to improve many factors of the economy. One of the most important laws created to improve the economy was President Mahmud Ahmadi-Nejad's Targeted Subsidies Law. The Majles, Iran's national legislative body, passed this law in 2010 to reduce state subsidies on food and energy. Over a period of five years, Iranian legislatures worked to remove subsidies from the economy that were very… middle of paper… it must be said for Iran and India. Mr. Singh, like many members of Mexico's political elite, is highly educated. While Iran, India, and Mexico are similar in some ways economically, socially, and politically, for the most part they are very different. The Iranian economy depends on oil, while the Indian economy is more service-oriented. However, Mexico's economy is similar to India's: both have significant private sectors. Additionally, Iran, India, and Mexico are similar in that each country has a state-run television broadcast. However, the Iranian government is clearly the most strict about what its citizens can see, while Mexico is less strict and has more broadcasting companies. Iran is also different from India and Mexico because Iran has a theocratic ruler, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, while the other two countries do not. Overall, these countries are very different from each other.
