Zorluk: OrtaResistance to Globalization after 1900

“For us, agriculture is not just an industry to be measured by market efficiency or tariff rates. It is the foundation of our culture, our community, and our food sovereignty. The World Trade Organization (WTO) forces open our markets to multinational agribusinesses, flooding our country with cheap, subsidized foreign imports that destroy the livelihoods of smallholder peasants. We demand that agriculture be excluded from WTO trade liberalization agreements.”

— Korean Peasants League, declaration issued during protests against the World Trade Organization, early 2000s

The arguments of the Korean Peasants League in the passage are best understood as a response to which of the following global economic developments?

  1. A
    A general shift toward mercantilist economic policies that restricted trade to accumulate precious metals.
  2. The spread of neoliberal economic policies that promoted free-trade agreements and international deregulation.Cevap
  3. C
    The complete homogenization of global culture and the absolute elimination of local agricultural traditions.
  4. D
    The re-establishment of direct colonial administration and territorial annexation by Western imperial powers.

Cevap

The spread of neoliberal economic policies that promoted free-trade agreements and international deregulation.
The correct answer is correct because the declaration by the Korean Peasants League directly opposes the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the opening of domestic markets to multinational agribusinesses. These policies are central tenets of neoliberalism, which promoted free trade, reduced tariffs, and economic deregulation globally after 1900. Protests by agricultural and labor groups, particularly in developing and industrializing nations, represented a major form of economic and cultural resistance to these globalizing forces.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the stimulus to identify the actor, the target of their protest, and their primary complaint.
The Korean Peasants League is protesting the World Trade Organization (WTO) for forcing open domestic markets to multinational agribusinesses, which they argue threatens local communities, culture, and livelihoods.
This establishes the historical context of the source as resistance to global trade integration.
2
Connect the target organization (WTO) and the criticized policies (market opening, free trade) to broader post-1900 global developments.
The policies of the WTO and the reduction of trade barriers are hallmarks of neoliberalism, which gained prominence in the late twentieth century.
This links the specific protest in the stimulus to the broader conceptual framework of the AP World History curriculum.
3
Evaluate the options to identify which one accurately describes the neoliberal trade policies and rule out distractors based on historical misconceptions.
The spread of neoliberal policies is the correct context. Mercantilism, direct colonial rule, and complete cultural homogenization are historically inaccurate or misapplied descriptions of this era.
This confirms the correct option while identifying the specific errors in the distractors.
