Situational Analysis
• Global environment characterised by major shifts in global, political,
social, economic and cultural dynamics which include:





New Economic Powers
New Media and Social networks
Environmental Change
Heightened demand for scarce resources
Changing nature of conflict and insecurity
• New economic powers influencing the balance of the global distribution of
power resulting in the formation of new political and economic groupings
 Challenging the established political and economic order and placing
pressure on international organisations to reflect new realities
• SA and African economies increasingly linked to these new economic
powers
• Proliferation of regional and preferential trading blocs leading to
increased intra regional trade but to the exclusion of others

Situational Analysis (cont)
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Globalisation continues to shape the world notwithstanding the global economic crisis
The convergence of information platforms, globalised media and social networking has a
major impact on governance, economic activity and mobilisation across social, cultural and
religious and national boundaries e.g. (MENA Region)
The Middle East remains in turmoil, exacerbated by the Arab uprisings, primarily in North
Africa, Bahrain, Syria and Yemen. The oil-rich countries of the Gulf, are addressing
concerns about the impact that the regional developments may have on them through a
massive increase in social spending.
Military conflict continues in the Syrian Arab Republic and it is expected that post-conflict
Syria will be characterised by social upheaval and sectarian violence.
Iran remains isolated in the face of perceptions that they are playing a destabilizing
regional role. International sanctions against Iran will remain until the country has made
significant concessions to its nuclear programme.
Natural and man-made disasters are impacting on all aspects of human development
particularly food security
Conflict between environment and development clearly visible in climate change
negotiations
Increasing resource driven competition
4
Situational Analysis (cont)
• Debt crisis give rise to deep divisions between Northern and Southern
Europe over future of economic policy- stimulation through increase in
debt vs. austerity
• Rising nationalistic tendencies in Europe
• In Asia increased tensions over disputed territories in the South China Sea
• The situation between the two Koreas remains tense since the testing of a
nuclear device by the DPRK on 12 February 2013 and joint military
exercises between the US and South Korea.
• US shifting some of its military assets to Asia to counter-balance China,
particularly navy & air force
• China’s economy is the largest in the region(second in the world after the
United States) – however, growing concern over the debts of local
governments, which has reached US $1.2 trillion
• Japan using quantitative easing to stop deflation and make Japanese
exports more competitative
5
Situational Analysis (cont)
•
The environment of the global governance system remains under threat
from unilateralist tendencies as well as a gradual erosion of multilateral
programmes
•
Global economic, financial, food, energy and other crises add to the
burden of developing countries in addressing poverty alleviation,
inequality and employment creation
This global rebalancing of power and influence has been taking shape for
decades, but has been accentuated by the global economic and financial
crisis that cannot be resolved bilaterally – the multilateral arena has thus
become the primary area of contestation
The African continent has seen a significant advancement in democracy
and good governance as demonstrated by the increasing number of
credible elections
•
•
6
Situational Analysis (cont)
•
The other significant threat to stability on the continent is the rise of terrorist
groups such as Al-Shabaab, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram and the LRA
•
The economy on the continent has shown strong growth in recent years and
Africa is accepted as the new global growth region. However, political
instability inhibits the continent from reaching its full potential
•
There has been greater effort in integrating the various economies in Africa
through negotiation of inter-regional blocks, e.g. COMESA, EAC and SADC
Treaty.
•
Peace and security challenges persist in the DRC, Nigeria, Mali, Ivory Coast,
Sudan, CAR, Somalia and others
7
Situational Analysis (cont)
• Unconstitutional change of governments continue and armed secessionist
groups continue to be a threat - Mali, and Nigeria
• The human development index in Africa very low and will continue to
hamper economic development and poverty alleviation
• The Continent is unlikely to meet its MDGs
• Emerging economies like the BRICS are causing a paradigm shift, amid an
ongoing world economic crisis, and institutions like the BRICS
Development Bank could further accelerate Africa’s development
