ARAB PENINSULA: AN ANALYSIS OF WHO CAUSED THE ECONOMIC UNSTABILITY

Since, the condition of every countries in this world is different. They can not fulfill their own needs by themselves, but there is also some countries that has a lot of natural resources more than the others, it creates the anarchy in the international scale. Every countries has its own interest in term of achieving their prosperity. According to liberalism, they competing each other to gain power. In the case of Arab Peninsula, which they have lot of resources, but still remained in conflict, I personally argue that the unstability of whether economic/political matters caused the risks, driven by the other countries who have economic and political stability. Simply because,

They realize that, their energy resources will be gone in recent years, maybe sooner because of the climate change impact if it can not be solved as soon as possible. Back to the example of Indonesia, geographically Indonesia located in the Equator Line which make it is very fertile. The geographic of Arab Peninsula even it is not located in Equator Line, but it has a lot of oil. Some of Arab Peninsula’s countries is ranked on the highest exporter crude oil during 2015. It shows that, the economic stability of Arab Peninsula is very crucial because day by day the earth oil is decreasing but the people need oil is still can not be replace by other natural resources, even there is some, but the most of it still use oil as their main energy resources. Beside, the Arab Peninsula people are mostly Muslim. Some of the terrorist movement coming from this region, can be mentioned Al-Qaeda, Al-Shabaab, Boko Haram, ISIS, and etc. Most of them are trying to create their own regime using any violence that will threat the human right in the sense of humanity. I personaly think that, when a case come into human right and in the name humanity, it willeasily provocate others to fight for the violence simply because we are all …show more content…
Or it is only the Arabs socially constucted? I strongly said that from 100%, it is caused by the other countries which have economic stability is 99% and the rest of it can be said socially constructed by the Arabs in term of separatism or even rebels movement. Since the example that I took is the PRRI/Permesta which shows that it was supported by the US, then I could say that it is tend to be cause by the other countries which have economic stability rather than Arab

    Theoretically speaking, it could be that circumstances like Horizontal inequalities where the prevailing regime plot to keep resource-rich underdeveloped communities or regions marginalised; and that these same condition also create other domestic pressures – economic, socio-political, or increased tension of another nature – which result in heightened risk of conflict. Assuming the two events are causally linked, there is no reason why causality should run in only one direction. For example, just as resource dependence could create conflict; it may be that conflict leads to greater natural resource dependency (Ibid). Taking a longer outlook, there are several examples in history of countries which flourished as a result of natural resource exploitation, without suffering violent conflict (Namibia and South Africa etc), thus, posing more fundamental questions about the appropriateness of this type of quantitative analysis of conflict by the works of Collier & Hoeffler.…

    The modern Middle East as it exists today consists of complex interactions between the political, economic, and social spheres. Though it would be simple to attribute conflict in the area to something basic such as the supposed inherent violence in Islam, a look further in the past is necessary to fully understand the Middle East as it exists today. By analyzing the great nineteenth century transformation and World War I, a clear understanding of the political, economic, and social landscapes of the modern Middle East will develop. EDIT ME The great nineteenth century transformation saw numerous transformations, from market place economies to market economies, to the creation and destruction of social categories.…

    Leaders of the political sphere are able to maintain control by manipulating how "knowledge" and "truth" are defined. I will provide an assessment of the post-modern approach to global politics in the works of Said, Foucault, Nietzsche, Dalby, Rochlin and the Venezuelan documentary “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised”. The lack of a single “truth”, may make people more likely to inquire on the behaviour of authority figures, but also allows for the rationalization of action that, under the modern epistemology, would not have been entertained. Edward Said’ “Orientalism” states that the views of the orient (Middle Easterners) by the Occident (Europeans) are constructed in a manner to justify control through a veil of superiority over these…

    The ethnic views that the Palestinian population are largely different from the Israeli population, it is what motivated the formation of the PLO. The PLO was created because the culture clash resulted in the Israeli government repressing and belittling the Palestinian community. Yasser Arafat, chairman of the PLO refused to accept Israel as a legitimate state, therefore, the PLO began using terrorism as a tool to gain attention and recognition as a noteworthy organisation. The evidence suggests that when differences in cultural beliefs can motivate people to engage in terrorist…

    When discussing the Middle East there are seemingly endless issues that arise including terrorism, oil, religion, modernity, and human rights. One of the most popular issues, especially for western countries, is how to create peace in this extremely volatile and often dangerous region. Wither looking at terrorism being fostered in Middle Eastern countries and then spread around the world or simply governments violently suppressing the people they govern, the western world has sought to stabilize a region that they have incredibly varied notions about and interests in. These notions are often based on misconceptions and misunderstandings of society, culture, and religion in the region. These misconceptions and misunderstandings have fostered…

    My first theme to choose from the fall of the Ottoman Empire to the 2011 against authoritarianism is Zionism. First off, Zionism is the belief that the Jewish people felt that they had a right inherit a rightful state of their own during the end of the 18th and 19th centuries. Jews believed that such a Jewish state should be located around central Europe and even at one time in North America. The decision was later decided that the final resting place was the holy land in Jerusalem, Israel as the Jews viewed this place as the holy land source.…

    Israel and its supporters, mainly the United States, are seen as an extension of colonialism. In the Middle East, European colonialism obliterated Arab sovereignty through its political and economic takeover (Alnasrawi 7). The epicenter of this perceived encroachment of Arab autonomy by the West was found in the Jewish state of Israel. The colonial legacy of the British and the French occupations in the Middle East led to the perception of Israel as another imperial force that would infringe upon the rights of the Arab world. Many Arabs believe that Israel exists to further Western exploitation and domination in the region (Al-Sowayegh 53).…

    For this reason, Mamdani states that political violence started from the gathering of events that occurred in the outside world and inside of the Muslim world. The most important event that occurred inside the Muslim world is the formation of the ideological basis for terrorism. This came along because of the struggle between Islamist intellectuals and different Marxist Leninist ideals that showed the armed struggle of the post-war period (add a page/cite). The most significant idea derives from Abul Al Maududi where his ideal were armed jihad in radical Islamic groups and to call universal jihad. His main idea was that reform could only be made when we take away state power and create an Islamic state.…

    From its creation, America has been a beacon of hope and freedom to many countries who have aspired to adopt their democratic values. Yet, these values have not always been sought after by other countries, and instead are sometimes imposed upon the ones who rarely accept them with open arms. The Middle East is a seamless example of countries exhibiting resistance to the American way of life and democracy; with many leaders rebelling against the notion due to religious reason. Particularly, Saudi Arabia has been a Middle Eastern Country that has had very close relationship the United States, and over time has adopted forms of its culture even though it clashes with their own. Saudi Arabia has become more Westernized and modernized with the discovery…

    Misunderstandings and a lacking of cultural appreciation have caused many to fall into a misconception over the Middle East. With mass media only broadcasting the negative stories of the Middle East, a land of beauty, culture, and morality has been painted as a land of terror, destruction and anger from those who do not wish to understand the “why” behind it all. The three variables I believe impacted the Middle Eastern societies was first, the spread of Islam, Christianity and Judaism. Second being the migration of western imperialism in the Middle East, in which the British wanted to control the Middle East for selfish reasons. Finally, the Palestinian and Israeli conflict that started after the retreat of western imperialism, as well as…
