Answer 2

After each answer, I will indicate my confidence in the correctness of my answer.

1. False. Several agricultural industries are also government owned. (confident)

2. True. World bank provides loans to developing countries, and entering into the loan agreement may compel the country to follow World Bank stipulations - the advice comes with the loan in a package. (confident)

3. False.Developing countries have urban problems in plenty - over population, poverty, urban sanitation, pollution. (confident)

4. Dont know

5. False. The constitution of a international body after World War II (NATO?) was an outcome of such negotiations between US and erstwhile USSR. Also, the term cold war alludes to such an agreement (not confident)

6. True. Acid rains contain harmful chemicals and pollutants (confident)

7. False. In countries such as China and India, governments have tried to curb population growth through various means, including forceful sterilisation. No more in the discourse of south Asian countries, does one find reference to population growth as the major cause for poverty. Countries have been successful in bring down rates of population growth. Neo-liberal policies, migration to urban centres, falling prices of agricultural goods, and other such factors are considered more important in contemporary development discourses. (fairly confident)

8. True.UN has taken stands on Human Rights. Examples of this are in plenty. (I think this should be the answer, but I may be wrong, which would be telling! not confident)
