I need a comparison of Europe's economy versus Russia and the Near Abroad's. I've done like five other topics, writing two or three pages for each, can I just get some quick help? I need three or more idea's I can toss together in words. Websites are welcome.
You're question is confusing.
Part of Russia is in Europe -- so what is the distinction between the two?
What on earth is "Near Abroad?"
Oh yes, I do appologize, I have to deal with a reeeeal stupid confusing text book. I have NO idea what Near Abroad is, I didn't know if it was some term I wasn't use to hearing or what. I've been using Russia as a whole country compared to Europe & it's contries as a whole. I've gotten 100's so far, so I gueeesss that's right?
Since you're in AP geography, you'll need to work to understand your text. If all else fails, Google unfamiliar terms.
Also -- this question is vague -- what measures are you supposed to use to compare economies? Since Europe is made up of many different countries, this comparison is going to be difficult to impossible.
That's the only reason I've turned to this site for help. I burnt out on 4 other sections like this and I need help. Ugh.
Advanced placement classes are tough because they are supposed to be college courses.
You may want to drop this class and go into a regular geography class.
Certainly! I can provide you with three ideas for comparing the economy of Europe versus Russia and the Near Abroad. To gather information and data, you can refer to reputable sources such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF), and official statistical agencies of each country. Here are three key aspects to consider:
1. GDP and Economic Performance: Start by comparing the gross domestic product (GDP) of Europe, Russia, and the countries in the Near Abroad. You can analyze their overall economic performance over a specific period. The World Bank's data portal (data.worldbank.org) provides detailed country-level data on GDP, allowing you to compare various economic indicators.
2. Trade and Integration: Investigate the level of trade integration between Europe, Russia, and the countries in the Near Abroad. Look into the volume of trade between these regions, including imports and exports of goods and services. The Eurostat website (ec.europa.eu/eurostat) provides comprehensive statistics on trade within the European Union. For data on Russia and the Near Abroad countries, you can refer to the Federal State Statistics Service of Russia (gks.ru).
3. Investment and Financial Flows: Examine the flow of investment and financial transactions between Europe, Russia, and the Near Abroad countries. Study foreign direct investment (FDI) flows, portfolio investments, and capital market activities. The IMF's International Financial Statistics (IFS) database (imf.org/en/data) offers a wealth of information on financial flows and investment trends globally, including data for Europe and Russia.
Consider combining these three ideas to compose your comparison. It's important to delve into data from different years to understand trends, as well as consider political and socio-economic factors influencing the economies in question.
