I just wonder since it was reported in the news that US, the entire eurozone are in recession, and so is japan, the second larget economy.

I don’t think there are any gains in a recession. There are only losses.

When people and various organizations borrow too much money and can’t pay it back. Then both the borrowers and the lenders loose.

And when trade and commerce decreases a lot because borrowers can’t borrow any more and lenders are either unwilling or unable to lend. Then both the borrowers and the lenders loose. Workers who get laid off as a result also loose. Governments who collect less taxes as a result also loose. And perhaps people who work for the government or depend on government social programs also loose due to cut backs in government spending.

Osama Bin Laden — that funny looking Arab guy who commands a world wide terror network from a cave still kicking America’s military and economic bottom ?

People in mud huts still standing up to the great US of A ?

———————-

Osama is dead and the CIA has been lying about all those tapes ?
Osama is alive and the entire US army CIA and space satellite spy apparatus was a complete waste of time?

The US was so weak that a cave dwelling General lured Bush into spending the economy into a downward spiral because Osama is a genius or because Bush was a moron ?

————

What is wrong with this story ?

Any ideas ?
Mr Doodles

OK — fine

What round are we up to then ?

How many Presidents have been completely foiled by this super villain the funny looking Arab cave dwelling General Saudi Prince ?

How many in the future will be completely unable to defeat this ONE guy from a friggin cave ?

why did you stop at the last 8 years? clinton let osama get away two times so lets be fair in asking your question, please!

My guess would be that the effects are concentrated, contained, and unlikely to influence global economies a big way. Here are some thoughts:

1. Dubai World is no Lehman Brothers. It is not in the business of trafficking in money, and, so, its life-or-death is less likely to have ‘downstream’ consequences. Instead, its businesses revolve around two areas: that of developing residential and lodging-related real estate around Dubai, and that of providing transportation and docking services to good flowing through the Persian Gulf. This makes Dubai vulnerable to large downturns in Arabian real estate (a fact which has brought it to its knees) and Middle Eastern trade, not the credibility of large institutions. The outstanding debt of Dubai World and its subsidiaries totals to about 60 billion USD, of which about 25 billion USD is directly linked to its bad businesses (of real estate). This pales in comparison to Lehman’s 600+ billion USD owed, AIG’s hundreds of billions of insurance policies written, Northern Rock’s hundreds of billions of deposits, all of which were distributed across the globe. The risk of these institutions going under is that their lenders, policyholders, and depositors lose all of their money (or cannot get their money back for years as the bankruptcy slowly proceeds through the court system). Their creditors are spread across world economies and likely play pivotal roles in them. A cascading credit failure would have grave global consequences. On the other hand, Dubai World’s creditors are both less numerous (UAE Central Bank, Abu Dhabi banks, and some UK banks), and the risk of loss DW poses is much smaller for these creditors, totaling at most 60 or so billion USD.

2. Dubai World has potentially powerful backers. Dubai World is largely owned by the Al Maktoum family, the ruling family of Dubai. Most of Dubai’s other large-scale enterprises are likewise owned by the Al Maktoum family as well. Dubai World has the ability to raise capital from its owners to pay off its debt. Not all of Dubai’s businesses are ailing, and its ruling family may be able to indirectly divert profits from other businesses (in the form of equity or dividend payments to the ruling family) to Dubai World. Beyond this, other emirates in the UAE (e.g., Abu Dhabi) may inject capital into Dubai World or may guarantee Dubai World’s debt in order to keep investors from deserting UAE enterprises altogether. The likelihood of this has thinned over the past week, with the Central Bank of UAE guaranteeing to provide liquidity for its member banks - that is, mostly Abu Dhabi banks - should their depositors have second thoughts (these banks having about 5 billion USD, maybe more, of exposure to Dubai World). However, it remains a distinct possibility. UAE’s stock markets plummeted the day after Dubai World’s announcement, but has so far staged a come-back. Should this situation reverse, UAE’s (that is, Abu Dhabi’s) ruling family, Al Nahyan, may decide that bailing out Dubai’s overzealous building and overleveraged balance sheet helps its own interests (a stronger role in UAE, returning investors to Abu Dhabi) more than the cost of the bail-out. With a GDP in the mid-200 billion USD range, about 70 billion of which comes from oil revenues alone, and a total debt load of only 120 billion USD (90 billion of which are issued by Dubai-related companies), the UAE government (that is, Al Nahyan) is more than equipped to step in.

3. Dubai World’s problems are nothing new. It was well-publicized that Dubai’s real estate markets have plummeted about 50% from its 2008 peak, on par with the worst housing markets in America (e.g., Las Vegas, Los Angeles). And Dubai’s authorities have been working since the beginning of the year to work out the hole it has dug for itself by overdeveloping its sandy shores. In February it sought to raise 20 billion USD of debt, 10 billion of which was immediately granted by UAE Central Bank, and another 10 billion of which would come from other banks in Abu Dhabi. It has formed an agency to work out the situation and replaced its leaders on more than one occasion. A declaration of debt moratorium, while coming as a surprise, was less like a rocket taking off and more like another (albeit large) step down a deep hole.

4. Exposure to UAE markets as a whole is limited. If the emirates stop working tomorrow, its major trade partners would likely experience a short-term lull; these are Japan, South Korea, and India. If its debt completely defaults with no recovery, its major creditors - UK and French banks - would likely report another loss, well-publicized and well-contained. UAE entities may be forced to liquidate assets; this would likely exert downward pressure on energy and upward pressure on transport costs. But to the tune of single percentage points.

It may be more apt to compare Dubai World to CIT and Las Vegas instead of to Lehman, AIG, and the Austrian

listening to music of watching television shows from other countries

is this example of world view, economic globalization, or cultural globalization?

the process of expanding worl trade networks is this example of world view, economic globalization, or cultural globalization?

The first can be both a cultural and economic globalisation. The audiences listening to pop music and television shows from other countries will tend to adopt the cultural objective nuances (fashion, slang, accents, etc) from what they see. However, sales and revenue made from these tv shows (DVDs) and music (MP4s) could fuel the economy of the country of origin.

The second is more toward economic globalisation, but also cultural to some extent. It is economic because the expansion of world trade networks will boost the frequency of international trade. Intenational trade will facilitate and encourage businesses to expand into different countries, subsequently increasing competition, which will in turn help introduce new technology, improve quality, dreate employment opportunities.

The second is also cultural to some extent because businesspeople will meet counterparts from different countries, thus breaking down cultural barriers and predudice. This will create cooperation between business leader of different countries.

its because of WWII, they were on the winning side but had no damage from battlefields being on their grounds

An America in debt ridden position which it won’t be able to get out of as the world’s economies spiral downward.

Dubai is at least thinking ahead unlike our government. Dubai’s main export (oil) is running out so they have invested in their infrastructure and have created a vacation spot (not to mention a man made island and the worlds tallest building). The tourist destination complete with golf courses, casinos and aquariums that rival Sea world is a blueprint for other countries to think ahead and develop roadmaps to success.

Sadly our country hasn’t learned this lesson and so we continue to spend ourselves into deeper and deeper debt. However,they are simply asking for a 6 month reprieve from their creditors, all countries have debt and a reprieve is an unusual request but maybe they see something 6 months from now most aren’t seeing.

This is an academic work i have been working on for so long but i have not gotten any concrete and detailed information. Some kind-hearted individual should please help me out here. The focus is on HR Development; how the credit crunch/ world economic crisis affects the development of Human Resource both positively and negatively. Thank you sooo much.
