WHEN SHALL THE WORLD BE FREE FROM WAR AND CONFLICTS? (for the benefit of politics students and other readers) 5 by Abbati Bako,psc,UK Countries that are not in non-aligned nations There are several countries that are not in non-aligned movement; most of them are advanced nations of Europe and North America. These countries are called first world. These countries are democratic and capitalist oriented nations. These countries are highly developed in term of human development indices. The first world countries of the world are measured by their power of wealth (Gross National Product) GNP, military mighty, social and political standard. The United States of America, Canada and the European countries are good examples of first world countries or called technologically advanced nations. United States of America is currently the global leader (26 of global economic activities takes place there) they are the economic power house of the world. On the other hand, European Union (EU) is an economic and political union between 28 member countries located primarily in Europe. They developed a single market through a standardized system of law which applies in all member states, ensuring the free movement of people, goods, and services and speaks with one voice when it matters world politics, economy or security issue. Some of these countries remain observers in the activities of non-aligned movement. The rationale behind why the advanced countries are not in the non-aligned movement is because of their contention and satisfactions in the affairs of the world and absolute control of their foreign policy mission. They have already developed their own part of the world. The developed nations are the one formulates the activities of the world affairs; be it economy, political and social matters. They are not dependent at all economically or otherwise; with or without most of the nonaligned countries the advanced countries can survive forever. Therefore, they have no intention what so ever to design a foreign policy that will make it imperative for them to join such ineffective organization. Second, they also have their own different organizations such as NATO, G8, EU and so on; which they channeled their foreign policy stance unanimously. These organizations are more vibrant, sophisticated and advanced and far more effective in foreign policy mission than the so called non-aligned movement. Last, another reason is that, the absolute control of United Nations Security Council is in their hands, therefore, the fear of any foreign policy mission that will go contrary or against their wishes has not been expected and could not go beyond their sight. Also, most of the nations in the NAM are dependent in terms of economy, while advanced nations are independent economically. To be continued Abbati Bako,psc
