The environment and interdependency

It is important to realise that development and under-development do not exist in isolation, rather they produce each other.

And since the symbiotic system of the world today does not allow for the poor developing countries to be in charge of their own resources for the fulfillment of their destiny, fundamental conditions which make independence a sound basis for all must be implemented.

That is, the sustainability of the ecosystem on which the global economy depends must be guaranteed. Economic partners must be satisfied that the basis of exchange in equitable relationship based on the dominance of one kind or another is not a basis for interdependence.

It is time to re-strategise the nature of global interdependence as the growth of the economic link between nations has widened the impact of the growing inequalities in the economic development and strength of nations.

The asymmetry in international economic relations compounds the imbalance, as poor developing nations are generally influenced but unable to influence international economic conditions.

What we need to correct arise both from poverty and the parochial way in which we often see prosperity. The system of the world has made developing countries to be caught up in a vicious downward spiral. Poor people are forced to overuse environmental resources to survive from day to day, and the impoverishment of their environment further impoverishes them.
