A Somali Intellectual´s Standpoint on Globalization
Dr. Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis -->
March 02, 2009
"Somalia is, therefore, a very special case, whose reactions to globalization can provide us with important information on the nature of this process, and how it affects countries that do not fit into conventional political and economic models"; this is part of the conclusions contained in a brief but well elaborated study which was published before almost 10 years (http://www.reliefweb.int/rw/rwb.nsf/0/e715f9667b301a1fc125689c004b547c?OpenDocument&Click=). The particularity of Somalia´s relationship with globalization hinges on the fact that every time the Mankind expresses a tendency towards a kind of globalization, Somalia is found at the forefront – one way or another! Economic globalization is only one of the many similar efforts that have been incessantly undertaken in the millennia long History of the Mankind in order to turn a disparate and chaotic reality into a well explored and understood, if not even rationalized, cosmos of common destiny.
