Influence Of Developed Nations During The Development Of Post Colonial States

That Colonialism and imperialism played a significant role in shaping the modern world and particularly Asia is a prudent judgment. Colonialism is "a policy in which a country rules other nations and develops trade for its own benefit" and "the extension of power or authority over others in the interests of domination" (2004). 'The West', which refers to the societies of Europe and their genealogical, colonial, and philosophical descendants. Spain, France, Britain, Canada, and the United States of America are some examples of Western societies. These countries have spread their influence and hegemony over other nations for centuries; shaping today's North America,

Some of the main reasons why Australia provides foreign aid is to increase advanced systems and technology in other countries, decrease poverty, make other countries more stable generally and financially, etc. Some government and non-government organization like Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), AusAID, World vision, Red cross, etc. also help provide foreign aid to other countries. Australia’s 10 main focus points and the status of achievement for some of the following in providing aid to other countries are towards the following:

There are two main perspectives on foreign aid in Australia – are we giving too much or not enough? Foreign aid is given to developing countries, and is necessary to build an environment where policies and infrastructure can be in place to support other sources of finance. Australia is part of the worldwide foreign aid commitment as we value that everyone should have a fair go, and the country plans to give $3.9 billion over 2017 and 2018. We help countries in need by contributing, food, resources, providing financial assistance, exchanging goods, personal time and knowledge. The main types of aid are humanitarian aid, which is disaster relief and emergency aid and development aid, which is a long-term commitment between nations. Australian aid is strongly on development aid particularly focused on the Asia-Pacific region, but it also has a strong commitment to African and South Asia. Interestingly, 90% of Australia’s foreign aid goes to Asia-Pacific countries such as Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, because if they build into a developed nation, then we can build trade relations, regional security and partner in defence. This is a polarizing issue that divides the nation due to different views on Australia giving aid, however, a strong foreign aid program is vital for Australia to build successful relations and regional security.

The role of the federal government in the formation of the modern West, holds to a wide range of factors. The role of the government remained small in until the beginning of the 20th century, but later in history, its reach became far more apparent and noticeable. An understanding of the foundations of settlement in the West is important to address. The basics of in these foundations, in modern urbanization, are influential to the direct role the government plays in the lands to the West. In this discussion, I will examine some of the major contributions in which federal government involvement was apparent in the West.

After Watching The Voice of Ile a Morphil It can be concluded that developmental aid can be helpful in small doses but once brought onto a larger scale it can hurt the developmental country becoming a centripetal force. The reasons for this include the traditions of the cultures, the knowledge of the people regarding the use of this aid, and the underlying cause of the aid.

As mentioned by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Australia’s Aid program works in, “promoting prosperity, reducing poverty and enhancing stability”. Cuts in the foreign aid budget will not only affect the countries around us, but also Australia. Through Australia’s ongoing support to developing countries by AusAID (Australian Agency for International Development), we have strengthened our countries political stability and security by creating close ties with other nations. Australia donates around AU$5 billion each year to aiding the developing countries around us, particularly nations located in the Asia Pacific Region. By doing this we have improved their economies, bringing peace to these countries.

Following the Revolutionary War, a rapidly growing American population, bolstered by post-war fervor and the divinely inspired idea that the newly formed nation had a unique and sole stake in the western world, sought for expansion. The Treaty of Paris had already ceded nearly all land stretching from the eastern seaboard to the Mississippi river, save Florida, which was owned by the Spanish; however, in the twenty years following the treaty, many Americans expressed the desire to expand even further west. Furthermore, the burgeoning economy was predominantly bolstered by the Republican idea of the, “yeoman farmer,” and “planter class,” as the foundation of the development of America as a nation, and in fact, farmers made up nearly 90% of the labor force. Additionally, since the end of the Revolutionary War, the American population had nearly doubled in

The role of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT)that relates to Australia’s foreign aid consists of promoting prosperity, reducing poverty, enhancing stability and performance. The purpose of Australia’s aid program is to endorse Australia’s national identity. The aid program does this by contributing to sustainable economic and reducing poverty and this purpose is pursued by focusing o supporting private sector development and strengthening human development.

Aid has never been an altruistic process; countries have always given aid to areas that best further their own national interests. Countries give aid for a number of reasons; they range from securing political connections to creating more favourable trade routes. Pure altruism is never the number one reason a country gives aid, and Australia is no exception. National interest lies at the core of all of Australia’s foreign aid policies, (DFAT 2015). As a nation Australia would most benefit from concentrating her aid on the Indo-Pacific region. Providing the nations within Australia’s regional neighbourhood with aid results in economic growth for both Australia and her aid recipients. Aid also stabilises trade and security within the region,

An additional advantage of aid is that it provides Australia with strengthened diplomatic, economic and political ties to the recipient countries. As Australia is a prominent aid donor in the Asia-Pacific region, it has strong diplomatic ties with the developing countries of that area, and can therefore receive the benefits from such a relationship with these countries. An example of such a relationship would be the free trade agreements Australia signed with Singapore in 2003 and Thailand in 2005, Australia diplomatic relationship with these nations played a large role in the securing of these two agreements. Australia can also benefit from such a good relationship politically as the recipient country of Australian aid can support Australia’s politics. A strong relationship with a recipient nation would also allow Australia to form economic bonds with the developing country, such as the agreement of tied aid money – were the recipient must spend some of the aid money provided by Australia on Australia’s goods and services, therefore strengthening Australia’s economy. Hence, creating and maintaining strong relationships with recipient nations of Australian aid is advantages as it

What level of commitment should there be concerning each one of the challenges that Small Islands Developing States (hereinafter “SIDS”) face?

Most of the developing countries are mired deeply in economical obstacles, which prevent them from development significantly. In order to overcome those embarrassments world’s society struggles to find the efficient solution for poor countries’ economies. Historically, developed countries undertook policy of giving aid to their colonies, afterwards by the end of The Second World War the United States and United Nations embarked the global sponsorship to the developing countries and countries of the Third World due to humanitarian considerations. Since then many other countries have joined in the effort to provide financial aid to lesser developed or poverty ridden countries. But none of those countries that received an aid had experienced a prosperity phase and rapid economic growth.

Postcolonialism as an individual category was emerged in the 1980s, which is used to represent the period during aftermath of Western colonialism. It is also used to describe a study that rethink and reclaim the history of people subordinated under various forms of imperialism. Postcolonialism, as Wisker points out, is the "Recuperation of history from point of view of the ignored, silenced, other… people whose lives have been erased, ignored and hidden from history" (Wisker 54). It starts for, as Frantz Fanon said, to “find a voice and an identity is to reclaim their own past” (ptd. in Peter, 193), because for centuries European colonising will have belittled or even erased the history and culture of the colonised people, and regarded them as uncivilized savage. Then, as Peter Barry points out, the postcolonial tends to “erode the colonialist ideology by which that past had been devalued” (Peter 193).

However, the development of Singapore’s society cannot be predicated on pure economics alone. Even though globalization has enabled Singapore to fare well in economic development, however, termed the perils of success, globalization has brought about undesirable

The Republic of Singapore celebrated its 42 years of independence in year 2007. Situated at the southern tip of Malaysia, Singapore currently holds a population of 4.68 million as of June 2007. At 704.0km2, it is ranked 4th in the world for its population density. During the past four decades, the economy as measured by real Gross Domestic Product (GDP), multiplied by over 20 times (Ghesquiere, 2007, p.11). As a small and extremely open economy, Singapore long term survival is very much dependent on the ability to maintain its viable position and remain afloat in the sea of global competition (Mun Heng et al, 1998, p.14).
