  • AP 24.1302 World 101 – Middle East & North Africa Explained

    Posted on by admin

    The Middle East & North Africa is a diverse region that was once home to great civilizations. Today, however, this region is weighed down by several challenges, including repressive governments, struggling economies, and geopolitical rivalries that inflame local conflicts. But, in many ways, the problems that affect this region reverberate far beyond its borders. In an increasingly interconnected world, challenges related to energy supplies, refugees, nuclear weapons, and terrorism have global implications. These issues have driven countries to intervene in the Middle East’s affairs repeatedly, with enormous consequences for the hundreds of millions of people in the region and billions around the world.

    Fifty years ago, life expectancy, education, and GDP in East Asia and the Pacific were well below the global average. Today, the region is home to some of the world’s largest financial centers, most innovative tech hubs, and fastest high-speed trains. For decades, Japan and the Four Asian Tigers (Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan) led the region economically, but today no country can compare to China, whose rise has turned it into the world’s second-largest economy. This economic success has also come with greater geopolitical ambitions as China works to expand its influence around the world and as far afield as the Arctic Circle. With China rising and other Asian economies continuing to grow, this region commands our attention—because what happens here will affect the rest of the world.
