The contemporary world politics of nations existing international trade union interests of its national security and the economy. These international trade unions, which are usually based on geographic location, factors such as natural resources, trade groups and cultural values still play an important role. Many neighboring countries combine their resources under the auspices of organizations, create defensive alliances and cooperation on many different issues. The purpose of these unions is peace, control the arms race, the resolution of disputes through diplomacy, promote social and economic development, and protect fundamental human rights and democracy. Currently, NATO, OSCE, EU, NAFTA, OPEC, ASEAN, the G-8, D-8 and APEC is the most important international political, military and economic unions.
These institutions are subject to organizational reforms because of the new members or a broadening of scope. All these organizations, formed after World War II helped to create stability and order in the world and has played an important role in the socio-economic development. member countries to protect their economic and military interests, and acquire a strong position regionally and internationally. Even developed countries perceive a need for these associations. The creation of regional free trade, regional trade agreements, abolished customs controls, and even a common currency (like the EU) to safeguard the future of the Member States. defense pacts allow Member States to reduce military spending and allocate resources to the cultural and educational fields.
The organization responsible for providing substantial benefits to Muslim countries. Those who are desperate for technology and economic development of the most important step towards stability is to create a central organization or in other words, a unified Islamic world under the aegis of Islamic Union.
Economic Development and Increasing Prosperity
Economic cooperation is necessary for two reasons: stability and development. Muslim nations must bring stability and soundness of their economies. developing industries and the necessary investment is essential, as is the need for a comprehensive development plan and the concurrent development of education, economy, culture, science and technology. Although various sectors are technologically advanced, levels of education of the workforce and the rules should be raised accordingly. Society must be motivated to be more productive, and economic cooperation that the results have an important role in eradicating poverty, illiteracy, the unjust distribution of wealth and other socioeconomic problems rampant in Muslim countries. This partnership can be formed only by the creation of free trade areas, customs union and common economic space.
Most Muslim countries have geostrategic importance and rich natural resources (eg crude oil and natural gas). These resources and strategic opportunities, however, are not used effectively. In the Islamic world, 86% of the level of the population living below $ 2,000, 76% less than $ 1,000, and 67% less than $ 500 per year. When the total resources of the Islamic world are considered (a) is quite a paradox: Almost half of the gasoline consumed in the West is exported from the Islamic world, as well as 40% of agricultural production in the world. (2) Many economists and strategists freely admit that the world economy depends on oil in the Islamic world and gas exports, especially in the Persian Gulf (3).
The Persian Gulf has two thirds of the world has discovered oil reserves. Data from the research concludes that Saudi Arabia alone holds 25.4% of global reserves of oil and 262 billion barrels. In addition, 11% are in Iraq, 9.6% in the UAE, Kuwait 9.2%, 8.6% in Iran, 13% in other OPEC countries. The rest are spread throughout the world. (4) the research commissioned by the U.S. Department of Energy shows that between 2000 and 2020, oil exports from the region will increase by 125%. (5) This means that the world will continue to meet most of its energy needs by imports from the Gulf region. In addition, the Middle East has 40% of world reserves of natural gas, 35% of reserves are located in the Gulf region. (6) Algeria, Libya and other countries of North Africa 3.7% of world reserves.
The Caucasus and Central Asia is also rich in oil, natural gas and other natural resources. For example, Kazakhstan is among 10-17600 million barrels of proven oil reserves and its natural gas resources are estimated at 53 and 83 trillion cubic meters. Turkmenistan hasbetween 98 and 155 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves which is the fourth largest producer. (7) Some other Muslim countries have valuable mineral resources. For example, in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan are two of the major gold producers in the world. Turkey is one of the world’s richest boron reserves, only recently discovered a very important, and Tajikistan is the world’s largest aluminum producing facility.
These benefits are increasingly important century, some have already christened “the century of energy.” Energy is an essential part of modern society in terms of military, industry, urbanization, and transport. As economic activity and production depend primarily on the basis of energy, people do their best to gain control of these energy resources. The Islamic world does not use its resources efficiently, and many of its members has the infrastructure and technology to increase production and use of natural resources to develop this sector. Consequently, sharing resources, the economy is limited to export earnings. These countries can not afford to treat their own crude oil, use it for their industrial complexes, or to develop their industries. Worse still, some Muslim countries do not even have the resources to explore and research their natural resources or to discover and extract them. Exploration by foreign companies shows that other Muslim countries have reserves of oil and gas, but they can not benefit from their resources.
Naturally, the inefficient use of natural resources is not only the Islamic world economic problem. But this problem can begin the process of solving many other problems. The economies of Islamic countries have differences in the structure and function. Some countries economically dependent on mineral resources, such as members of OPEC, while other countries depend on agriculture. These differences are also reflected to some extent their social structures, such as degree of widely varying rural and urban areas. Developing complementary relationships and helping each other in their respective areas of expertise can turn these differences into a source of wealth. All this is possible with the Islamic Union.
Joint ventures and project partnerships, be an important step in the right direction, allowing countries to benefit Because the experience of each others projects and investment income will benefit all participating countries. Such mutual financial support in line with Islamic morality, which helps the poor and social responsibility are important characteristics that Muslims are trying to acquire. Many verses of the Qur’an reminds Muslims to monitor the needy.
The internal cohesion of society also extends to international relations. The international partnership can not be unilateral, employment and income levels rise in both countries. For example, a country produces oil, and one confronts him, and agriculture dependent countries have the opportunity to take the food they need for agriculture in developed countries. Labor-poor country that needs to be covered under any other Islamic country, while rich countries to invest and help the country full of work that is not enough jobs for its inhabitants. This will benefit both. Sharing knowledge and experience more prosperity, and all Muslims will benefit from technological advances.
Joint ventures that realize the Islamic World Association of occasions and the means to produce hi-tech products Muslims. The Islamic common market will allow Muslims to products manufactured to be marketed in other Muslim countries without any barriers of tariffs, quotas and other barriers. The market will grow market share and exports of all Muslim nations will rise, will accelerate the industrialization and economic development progress in technology. The standard of living and wealth of Muslim nations will increase, and their existing inequalities will disappear. Some bilateral agreements are already in place between the Gulf countries, the Pacific and North Africa. Trade agreements signed by Turkey are already operational in the Islamic world. Bilateral cooperation exists in some regions, but its scope should be expanded. Such cooperation will safeguard the rights and interests of all Muslim nations and around the world have to develop as a result of which all derive from a much greater benefit if you do not cooperate.
All this can be achieved under a central authority, direction and coordination. Achieving this will be possible if Muslim nations adopt the values of the Qur’an and the Prophet (God bless him and grant him peace) Sunnah, in other words, if they adopt Islamic culture. The Islamic Union must prepare for this cultural awareness and political and economic cooperation that followed.
Mutual cooperation among Muslims, part of the Islamic code, must be adhered to by all Muslims, for God commands people to refrain from avarice and to guard the needy and support one another. In fact, destitute people have a due share of the believers’ wealth (Qur’an, 51:19). As the Qur’an proclaims:
Those of you possessing affluence and ample wealth should not make oaths that they will not give to their relatives, the very poor, and those who have migrated in the way of God. Rather, they should pardon and overlook. Would you not love God to forgive you? God is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Qur’an, 24:22)
He who has plenty should spend from his plenty, but he whose provision is restricted should spend from what God has given him. God does not demand from anyone more than He has given it. God will appoint ease after difficulty. (Qur’an, 65:7)
Our Lord also reveals that believers are one another’s guardians (Qur’an, 9:71). The word “guardian” conveys such meanings as friend, helper, mentor, and protector. It also expresses the importance of cooperation and solidarity between Muslim nations. The cooperation that will arise from this fraternal awareness between Muslim nations will bring prosperity and wealth to Muslims and eradicate poverty, an important problem of the Islamic world. Societies that follow the Qur’an’s values will not experience famine, destitution, and poverty. Muslims will develop their nations by following rational and long-term policies, establishing good relations with other nations and people, valuing trade and development, and learning from other cultures’ experiences. This was so in history and, God willing, under the Islamic Union’s leadership it will be so once again.
