The Conflicts of Globalization

...

nation with the same ideology, currency and establish a one market.

Since all the countries are not of the same economical state, therefore, this economical unification of the currency led to the deterioration in the economy of some countries like that of Greece. Greece is on the verge of bankrupt, because of the unification of the currency in the EU. The Greek economy was not powerful enough to be compared to other countries in the EU and both sides of the EU and Greece claims are contradictory. Therefore, there was inability to pay wages and its foreign debts.

Globalization is marked as the modern phase of imperialism.

The United States of America might be the most influential country in the world with its impact on other countries, especially the Middle East for its common interests with Israel in the region. However, The United States’ economical and cultural level is the most dominant in many counties like Egypt, presented in the rich and super rich classes, and the Arab Gulf counties like Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, mainly in Dubai.

Today we see the beginnings of a third wave of devastation of the world by imperialist expansion, encouraged by the collapse of the Soviet system and of the regimes of populist nationalism in the Third World. The objectives of dominant capital are still the same—the control of the expansion of markets, the looting of the earth’s natural resources, the super exploitation of the labor reserves in the periphery—although they are being pursued in conditions that are new and in some respects very different from those that characterized the preceding phase of imperialism.

The policy of the United States is to dominate the world, politically and economically, to lay its hands on the riches of the world, especially the Arab countries for its petroleum wealth. The first step for the United States to dominate and Arab world and reshape its map was by establishing a US base in the heart of the Middle East in Qatar and KSA. Regardless the holiness of the land of Palestine, the United States decided to help the Jews to have their own land, since the Jews controls the economy of the USA. Therefore, by pleasing the Jews, the US will get their financial support in return for the application of the United States’ policy in the Middle East. Moreover, the United States fears Iran and the Iranian nuclear plans threatens Israel, therefore, this threatens the American interests in the region, as well.

The ideological discourse designed to secure the assent of the peoples of the central Triad (the United States, Western Europe, and Japan) has been refurbished and is now founded on a “duty to intervene” that is supposedly justified by the defense of “democracy,” the “rights of peoples,” and “humanitarianism.” The examples of the double standard are so flagrant that it seems obvious to the Asians and Africans how cynically this language is used. Western opinion, however, has responded to it with as much enthusiasm as it did to the justifications of earlier phases of imperialism. (5)

Calling themselves the protectors of human rights, the United States started to impose its military rule over the Middle East by invading Iraq. Since the media viewed Saddam as a tyrant, the United States, presented in the United Nations, called for the rights of Iraqi people and claimed that Saddam is manufacturing nuclear weapons to demolish Israel. The real purpose behind the invasion of Iraq was for the United States to lay its hands on the petrol and gold of Iraq.

Moreover, the United States played part in the independence of the southern part of Sudan from the north. Since Christians in the south suffered from the rule of the Muslims in the north, in addition to the genocide of 2009 and "charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity relating to the drawn-out conflict in Darfur".

Recently, the situation in the Middle East starts to take a different path, starting from the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt to the Syrian revolution against Bashar Al-Assad. The Syrian revolution turned into a civil war between the Syrian government and the rebel groups. From the heart of the chaos in Syria, a new group of extremists appeared named ISIS or Daesh. Calling themselves an Islamic army, ISIS took over many cities and territories in Iraq and Syria. (7) The situation in Syria will lead to the birth of a new Cold War between USA and Russia, if not the continuation of the first Cold War.

The War in Syria is divided among four powers within the state of Syria, supported by greater countries. Al-Assad’s main target are the rebels of the state as they plan to overthrow him. These rebel groups are backed by Turkey and the United States. The second enemy of Al-Assad is ISIS, who plans to overthrow him, as well, and replace him with an Islamic Caliph and extending the boarders of their state within Syria, Iraq and other nations. (7) Since both the rebels and ISIS are planning to overthrow Assad, there must be a link between both forces, although the United States claims that her target is to destroy ISIS. "The United States is focused on defeating the Islamic State. While it has attacked 2,600 Islamic State targets, it has not directly attacked the Syrian government and it is backing rebel groups only with money, arms and some training." (7)

Concerning president Assad, Assad is backed by Russia, mainly. Russia is trying to protect its naval base in Tartus, Russia has to protect her ally that gave Russia that port. Since Russia lacks naval ports, Russia made an agreement with Al-Assad to have Tartus as an outlet on the Mediterranean Sea. The course of events is typically of a Cold War. The two major powers in the world, the USA and USSR, each of them support the force that ensures the presence and interests of the powerful nation. Russia backs Assad and USA backs the rebels against the Syrian government.

As for ISIS, it is like a terroristic groups created by the USA. To defend the state of Israel, USA had to remove the three main powers threatening Israel: Egypt, Syria and Iraq. By the end of Saddam’s rule, Iraq was down. USA turned to Egypt, indirectly, by helping the Muslim Brotherhood to overthrow Mubarak in 2011 and replace one of their own. In 2013, the SCAF overthrew Morsy, legally, with the help of the people through elections and replaced Morsy with Field Marshal Abd El-Fatah El-Sisi. Thus, the army rescued Egypt from a destructive attempt.

The United States turned to Syria by planting ISIS within the time of the Syrian revolution. Moreover, USA tired to win the Kurds’ side by giving them weapons to fight the uncontrollable terrorism in Syria, in addition to promising the Kurds part of the land to fulfill their dream of having a Kurdish state.
