Globalisation in Somalia?

[Ms MoOns]

I've decided to put my question in General, even though it might be more appropriate in the Politics/Debate department. As many people browse here, I'm hoping to get more information on my following question.

 

I'm doing a research on the effects of globalisation on a developing/undeveloped country. Since I'm interesting in my own country and hopefully learn about it through this, I'm thinking about choosing Somalia as that country.

 

My question to you walaalayaal, first of all, do you consider Somalia as an developing country or rather undeveloped? Explain. Officially, according to the IMF (International Monetary Fund), Somalia is on the list of merging/developing countries (2010).

 

And when I say, Somalia, I do mean Somalia as a whole, so Somaliland as well.

 

Second, having that said, has globalisation effected Somalia, in what way?

Obviously there's a big difference before and after the civil war. Mind pointing out the main differences?

 

Please discuss, and hadalka ii jilci, I do want to understand and learn something here.

 

Thanks in advance!

Globalization, or in Somali, Qubqac shankalalax, is a major issue in Somalia, geelii sangaalaa dhameeyey, lo'dii takartii maroodigaa wada qarisey midh kama harin, ari ha sheegin, maxaa inoo soo harey, total globalization ayaa wadankii ka jiro, total qubqac dhuguc

globalisation as in? that is a term usedvery loosely these days.....So you have to be bit more specific to get a reasonable answer.

For example, from Telcom prespective, Somalia had benefited alot from the competing multinational corporations as they can now have access to various competing services at a cost they can afford.

 

Perhaps you need to be more specific with your question and i believe you may get some real answers et=ither from this forum or outside of this forum.

Cheers

JB: Field study? That's a waste of effort, they won't give me enough credit for that

 

Nuune: I believe you live in a fantasy world dear, ka soo bax, it's doing you no good.

 

Legend of Zu: I was referring to globalisation in general. I'm not intending to get into one specific area, if that's what you meant?

 

Globalisation is a term we frequently hear in today's world relating to politics and the environment.

My understanding of it is that it refers to the fact that we are living in one world where individuals, groups and nations have become more interdependent.

 

I'm interested in:

- the economic factors,

- political factors, and of course

- the rise of information and communication technology.

 

Ismahaan: Waad mahadsantahay dear, those links are very helpful, I will go through them.

No. I'm hoping SOL will give me more of a personal understanding of the subject.

I'm not using it as a source to back up my research.

The following effects the economy back home.

 

1. Weak US$ - less money for people to spend

2. High oil prices - results in higher fuel prices which is passed onto the people as imports become more expensive

3. Food prices are currently going through the roof.

4. Economic crisis means people can't travel home and boost tourism/airport fees, hotels etc

5. Diaspora setting up business has dropped

6. Construction of homes by diaspora has declined

7. Governments have increased import duties

 

Hope that help.
