The Effect Of Political Ambiguity On Economic Development

In the early years of the United States the government was able to function and operate all of its affairs rather easily. This would change as more and more technology was invented and the industry rapidly grew throughout the nation. In the early 1800's services provided by the government were limited to the areas of defense, foreign affairs,mail service, commerce between the colonies and money. These few service with the exception of national defense required only a few thousand government employees. However, in the late 1800's the nation began to rapidly grow economically the number of government employees had to grow as well to maintain the services that were being provided in the early years. Farmers were asking for government

West Africa experienced social impact of Islam and its own inner progress delivered incredible creative achievements. Capable state, such a Mali and Songhay, depended more on military power and dynastic partnerships than on ethnic or social solidarity. There was the advancement of city-states, with strong merchant communities in west Africa and the Indian Ocean shoreline of east Africa that demonstrated likenesses to urban improvements of Italy and Germany in this period. Be that as it may, there were abberations between the advancements and belief systems of European and Africans and contrasts in the ways their social orders created. Northern Africa and the east African drift were somewhat fused into the Arab Muslim world. New focuses of human progress and political power emerged in sub-Saharan Africa, showing the geographic dispersion of development. Bantu relocation and the development of substantial states in the western Sudan

Economic development can be defined generally as involving an improvement in economic welfare, measured using a variety of indices, such as the Human Development Index (HDI). A developing country is described as a nation with a lower standard of living, underdeveloped industrial base, and a low HDI relative to other countries. There are several factors which may have the effect of limiting economic development in such countries. Factors such as these include: primary product dependency, the savings gap and political instability.

Focusing on determinants of opportunity that is, predetermined circumstances such as education, region of birth, gender or family wealth; do affect an individual’s capacity to engage in economic activity. Critically, in the presence of a state indifferent to these pre-existing variations in populace circumstances, the effect of these circumstances greatly increases. This paper explores the link between economic growth and inequality of opportunity and applies these links within the case of the Arab spring. It investigates how weak

The two most important resources in this region are oil and water. The huge oil “deposits there and in the neighboring countries around the Persian Gulf (the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Bahrain) established these countries as some of the richest in the world” (Document F). Nevertheless, the countries who do not have as much access to oil are weak economically. Oil is the biggest export in the Middle East, and in a way, the amount of oil a country has determines how wealthy that country will be. Another component of oil is that countries and ethnic groups are disputing for the control of prices of this economic resource. It has gone to the far extent of foreign countries attempting to control the oil price and also the use of weapons for this (Document E). In addition, it is impossible for each country to have equal access to water due to the unbalanced distribution of these essential resources. As a result of this, these countries are fighting for as much control of water sources they can get. Radically, there are many countries in the Middle East that are striving to obtain as many natural resources to strengthen their economy and lifestyle, and it seems most obvious that the scarcity of these resources is a significant problem in the region

However, life has changed, globalization and feminism have had a huge impact on the work environment all around the world. Technology has also made many jobs easier, yet very, very similar. Because of these changes, unemployment has become an issue all around the globe. The government views the unemployment situation as an individual problem.  From the government’s perspective, unemployment is due to the lack of training of the individual.  However, because

Egypt has long been seen as a place rich in tradition and culture. With specific respect to Siwa, a region in the country, this was very much true when it was discovered by an investor in 1995, who described it as untouched by time. Despite its recent rocky revolution, Egypt has strived to place itself in a position to be a model not just for Africa, but for the whole of the Arab World, and has done so by promoting freedoms and encouraging foreign investment through various liberal policies. This has helped alleviate the country's employment problem, but much remains to be done, and not all reforms have been wholly positive. The paragraphs below will focus further on the Siwa region, and the specific project which it entails, and will discuss the objectives of the project introduced here, as well as pertinent issues and how they have and will affect the country.

This economic modernization in the Middle East, could only be a short term success which does not guarantee the successful and stable economic development of oil rich states and the region as a whole in the long term. The Middle East, despite its vast reserves of oil, is still considered a developing region due to the high reliance on oil revenues and rather weak production sector of the economy as well as due to some political factors such as lack of democracy, corruption, reluctance to the reforms and other issues. There are various reasons as to why the Middle East is still considered a developing region despite its oil wealth. Natural resource revenues have also been linked to slow economic growth rates, inequality, and poverty. One culprit may be "Dutch disease," which was discussed earlier. Other factors may include the volatility associated with commodity prices, which can have especially negative impacts on weak-state economies; and the underdevelopment of agricultural and manufacturing sectors during boom periods in resource-based economies. And even when oil abundance produces high growth, it often benefits only a few corrupt elites rather than translating into higher living standards for most of the population. Corruption is one of the economic deficiencies which can weaken economic growth and development; thus it is considered as an important impediment to economic growth and political stability, particularly in developing countries. The dependence on a

Development is defined as “the process of change operating over time- the process by which countries and societies advance and become richer’’. The modern 20th century defines development as” the process of change which allows all the basic needs of a region to be met, thereby achieving greater social justice and quality of life and encouraging people to fulfill their potential’’. Todaro defines development as “the process of improving the quality of all human lives through raising people’s living standards, their incomes, consumption levels of food, medical services, education, raising people’s self-esteem through the establishment of social, political and economic systems and institutions that promote dignity and respect and increasing people’s

The developmental state gives priority to economic growth rather than political reform. It is of strong ambition to develop economy;

Many studies have demonstrated the idea that institutions are the main factor of economic development because empirical evidence points to strong institutions being able to determine large growth of GDP per capita. Although the characteristics of strong institutions can be described as the potential fundamental cause of economic growth, the effects of geography and materials available to different certain regions have a huge hand in properly developing a society economically and allowing for further growth. The resources of the countries heavily depend on the raw materials available to each region and the kinds of animals they are able to domesticate. This is where the argument circulates around in which geography is a large determinant of whether a civilization or society can prosper in a certain area or not.

There is the need to stress improving organizational and processing procedures. This can be done by the use of technology such as e-gov and management information systems. Also, computer and software applications can make a difference in large education systems, unemployment compensation, retraining, welfare-to-work, and monitoring capital construction programs. The importance to maintain and improve productivity of our government programs. It is very important that we improve productivity of government programs. In this economy we need to be able to cut costs wherever possible, this enables us to do so. It also would limit the amount of involvement and confusion it would bring if we don't improve them. The efficiency as we improve will also be developed.

The Middle East region is a conservative cultural and religious area that grew at only half the rate of other developing countries during the 1990s. A number of factors such as structural imbalances, the so-called 'curse of natural-culture and religious conflicts, are highlighted for the slow economic development in the Middle East. Similarly, Abed (2003) identifies five main causes holding back the economic growth of the Middle East i.e. lagging political reforms, dominant public sector; underdeveloped financial markets; high trade restrictiveness and inappropriate exchange regimes. apart from these , some of the others factors include the lack of integration into the global

Development is a term that can be used in many different contexts whether it is social, economical, political etc. However generally development refers to an improvement in certain areas:
