The Development of World Economy and the Division of Nine Cultural Circles in the World

Recognized highly developed countries: Germany, Britain, France/Gundam; Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, Belgium, Austria, Denmark, Finland, Norway/Gundam; Ireland, Luxembourg, Iceland/Gold-rich countries

Semi-highly developed countries: Italy and Spain (the facade of southern Europe)

Ordinary developed countries: Czech Republic, Slovenia, Slovakia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania/some industrial bases; Greece, Portugal, Cyprus, Malta/Weak industrial base

Pocket countries: Andorra, Monaco, Liechtenstein, San Marino, Vatican/Although the land is small, it is extremely rich.

Quasi-developed countries: Poland, Hungary/some organizations considered as developed countries.

Developing countries: Croatia (the only well-developed developing country in Western Europe)

North America

The United States/highly developed countries are also the only superpower in the world (the boss of western developed countries), and Canada/highly developed countries (small territory and rich resources). Culturally, both the United States and Canada belong to the cultural circle of Western Europe.

South Australia

Australia/a highly developed country (with a large territory and few resources), New Zealand/a highly developed rich country (similar to Australia, you can get rich by selling resources), and both Australia and New Zealand belong to the cultural circle of Western Europe.

abstract

Western Europe+North America+South Australia = Western countries circle, which is almost equal to developed countries circle. Except Poland, Hungary and Croatia, all other countries are developed countries/Western Europe, 26 in North America, 2 in South Australia, and Israel 1. The only developed countries outside the West are Japan, South Korea and Singapore (all of which have a special westernization feeling of leaving Asia and entering Europe, closely following the United States). The west is the earliest place of modernization and industrialization, and many things were invented and discovered by the west, especially the scientific and technological revolution, which occupied the first-Mover advantage and led to modernization being equivalent to westernization. In addition to Europe, it has also expanded to North America, Latin America and South Australia. Both Asia and Africa are westernized, especially Africa's religions and languages are European. There has not yet been another civilization rising, and several Asian civilizations have been overtaken by western civilizations.

Eastern Europe

Good development: Russia, Romania, Belarus, Bulgaria, Montenegro/Russia and Belarus were part of the former SL, and industrialization was based on heavy industry for a long time, with a good foundation in education and science and technology, while Romania, Bulgaria and Montenegro developed rapidly after joining the EU.

Overview of development: Serbia, northern Macedonia, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina/Serbia had better industrial development and relatively independent diplomacy during the Yugoslav period. The latter three countries are close to the European Union.

Low-middle income: Ukraine, Moldova and Kosovo/Ukraine have a good industrial and educational foundation, but they have regressed. Moldova and Kosovo have always been at the bottom.

East Asia

Developed countries: Japan/highly developed countries (1990, the only developed country in Asia, with the earliest modernization), South Korea/quasi-highly developed countries (a model of emerging countries with good development level).

Better development: China/the largest developing country in the world, China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are at the level of developed economies.

Middle and lower income: North Korea/education and industry are good; Low income: Mongolia/grassland and rich mineral resources.

Southeast Asia

Developed country: Singapore/Southeast Asia is the only developed country, quasi-highly developed and famous for entrepot trade, port economy and financial center.

Oil-rich country: Brunei has few people but rich oil and gas resources.

More developed: Malaysia, Thailand/developed very early and are newly industrialized countries.

Low-middle income: Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam are all newly industrialized countries, except Vietnam, the other two countries developed relatively early.

Least developed countries: Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, East Timor/In recent years, many labor-intensive industries have been transferred to the first three countries.

abstract

Eastern Europe and Western Europe are similar in culture. Orthodox Christianity, Protestantism and Catholicism all belong to Christianity, and whites developed earlier. East Asia has always been strong in ancient times, with China as the center. The development of Japan and South Korea has not changed the status of East Asia. Only the rise of China, the country with the largest population, can truly change the status of East Asians in the world. East Asia, China, Japan and South Korea are in the forefront of international rankings in various fields, especially the overall ranking. East Asia is rising! Southeast Asia developed quite early, just like Latin America, and there was no breakthrough. There are many newly industrialized countries in Southeast Asia, which are very strong in undertaking industrial transfer and processing and export industries.

China and the United States

Better development: Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica/Mexico have better industrial development, and can undertake American industrial transfer, especially export processing. The latter two countries are free trade ports with stable environment and early development.

Low-and middle-income countries: Belize, El Salvador and Guatemala

Low income: Nicaragua, Honduras/Environmental instability affects economic development.

Caribbean region

Developed economies: the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico/the United States can be said to directly support the development of industrial manufacturing and tourism.

More developed countries: Bahamas, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Barbuda/all former British ZM countries have become rich because of finance and tourism.

General development: Barbados, Grenada, Dominica/The first two small island countries are also former British ZM.

Middle and low income: Cuba, Dominica, Jamaica/Kumar are excellent in education, medical care and sports. The latter two countries are also former ZM island countries of Britain, and the population of Dominica is very small, only 70,000.

Least developed country: Haiti/independent early but will not develop economy.

South America. See AMERICA

Developed economy: French Guiana/Fully supported by France, it is the space center of Europe.

Oil-rich country: Trinidad and Tobago/small island country rich in oil and gas resources

Better development: Argentina, Chile, Uruguay/Argentina and Chile all have good industries, and all three countries are rich in agriculture and minerals.

The development is average: Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Suriname, Paraguay/Brazil and Colombia have a good degree of industrialization.

Middle and low income: Venezuela, Guyana and Bolivia/Venezuela are rich in oil resources. The per capita GDP was very high in the late 20th century, and now it is influenced by a certain country.

abstract

Like the United States, Latin America is mainly composed of immigrants from Europe and Africa. In modern times, it accepted immigrants from all over the world. It feels that if the United States develops first, it will be difficult for Latin America to rise. After all, Latin America is called the back garden of America. Latin America is rich in resources and developed early, but it has not broken through to development. Several small island countries in former British ZM became rich by finance and tourism, while Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Colombia were industrialized. Latin America, second only to western Europe and eastern Europe, is quite good and has not been destroyed by two wars.

west Asia

Developed countries: Israel/West Asia is the only developed country with a quasi-high level of development, which is famous for its high technology and innovation.

Oil-rich countries: Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman/rich in oil and gas resources, sell them and get rich.

Better development: Turkey joined the western economic system after World War II, and its industrialization was good.

General development: Iran, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Lebanon/Iran have perfect industrial systems and are relatively independent, while the latter four countries are very westernized.

Low and middle income: Iraq, Jordan, Palestine

Least developed countries: Yemen, Afghanistan/Environmental instability affects economic development.

Central Asia

Developed: Kazakhstan is rich in oil and gas resources with a population of only190,000.

General development: Turkmenistan is also rich in oil and gas resources.

Low-middle income: Uzbekistan/the most populous country in Central Asia depends on gold, oil, natural gas and cotton.

Low-income countries: Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan

South Asia

Low-middle income: India, Sri Lanka, Maldives/India have a population of 654.38+0.4 billion, which are relatively large developing countries with certain strength. Sri Lanka has recently transferred many industries and made rapid progress. Maldives is a small tourist island country.

Low income: Pakistan/labor-intensive industries have moved a lot, but the population is 200 million.

Least developed countries: Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal/Bangladesh also have many labor-intensive industries, and the latter two countries are small mountainous countries greatly influenced by India.

North Africa

Middle and Lower Income: Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco/North Africa are all at the same level, mainly Arabs, and the first three countries are rich in oil and gas resources.

abstract

West Asia and North Africa are three places where there were many exchanges and disputes between the Middle East and southern Europe in ancient times. Now the Middle East is dominated by Arabs, and the economy became rich after the discovery of oil. The industries of Turkey, Iran and Israel in the Middle East are good, and the Caucasus and Central Asia are former SL countries. The development of education and other fields is quite good, and there are many Eastern European factors in culture. South Asia's industrialization of India is ok, while Britain has left a good foundation and attached importance to service industry and software development. The brain drain is serious, and the overall development of South Asia is average.

South Africa

Better development: Mauritius, a small island country in the Indian Ocean, has become rich in processing, manufacturing and tourism.

General development: South Africa, Botswana/South Africa industry is good. The most developed countries in Africa later regressed, and Botswana's resource-rich tourism industry was very attractive.

Low and middle income: Namibia, Swaziland/It has developed rapidly in Africa in recent years.

Least developed countries: Zambia, Angola, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique, Madagascar and Lesotho.

East Africa

Better developed: Seychelles/a small island country in the Indian Ocean, getting rich through tourism.

Low income: Djibouti/has a multinational J base to ensure shipping safety.

Least developed countries: Kenya, Comoros, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Burundi, South Sudan and Somalia.

Central African Republic

Middle and low income: Gabon and Equatorial Guinea are rich in oil resources.

Low income: Congo is relatively poor in agriculture and minerals.

Least developed countries: Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Chad, Central Africa.

West Africa

Low-middle income: Cape Verde/a small island country in the Atlantic Ocean.

Low income: Nigeria and Ghana/Nigeria are the largest economies in Africa and are rich in oil resources.

Least developed countries: Mauritania, Benin, C? te d 'Ivoire, Togo, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Burkina Faso, Sierra Leone, Mali and Niger.

abstract

They are all located in the south of the Sahara desert, which is the main body of blacks and the ancestral home of blacks in Europe and America. In the Indian Ocean, Mauritius and Seychelles become rich by tourism, while other countries with high per capita GDP rely on selling agricultural products and minerals. South Africa has some manufacturing industries, but its competitiveness is not strong. Other countries have a weak industrial base, mainly light industry, or even no manufacturing industry. Africa is famous for selling raw materials, and its overall development level is backward. It is a place where the least developed countries are concentrated. There are a large number of least developed countries, but there are also business opportunities, so European and American countries operate in Africa. In modern times, Islam in the north, Christianity in the south, Arabic in the north and European languages in the south dominated Africa, with English, French and Portuguese as the official languages.

I. Western European Cultural Circle

Western Europe+North America+Australia+New Zealand+Israel is the area where developed countries are concentrated, and it is also the area with the earliest modernization and industrialization in the world. Poland and Hungary are quasi-developed countries, Croatia is a developing country, and others are developed countries. It can be said that they have led the development of the world economy, and many modern major inventions and inventions come from Western Europe.

Second, the Eastern European cultural circle.

Eastern Europe+Southeast Europe, and Eastern Europe is also a good place to develop industrialization very early. In modern times, Southeast Europe in the Balkan Peninsula has been called a powder keg of war, and disputes have continued at the border between Europe and Asia. Industrialization didn't begin until after World War II. Although eastern Europe is not as developed as western Europe, it is the second best place compared with other parts of the world, especially in education and foundation, second only to western Europe.

Third, the East Asian cultural circle

China, Japan and Korea are four new countries+Korea, Mongolia and Vietnam. Before modern times, China culture was the main place. Later, the west caught up with many countries and learned from the west. Japan was one of the first countries to rise to westernization in an all-round way and became one of the modern powers. After World War II, the Asian Four Little Dragons rose (Korean New Zealand+China, Hong Kong and Taiwan Zone 2), and China developed rapidly after 1990. As a newly industrialized country, Vietnam has developed rapidly in recent years, but North Korea's industry and education are not open.

Fourth, Latin American cultural circle

Latin America, the southern United States, Central America+Caribbean+South America, Portuguese-speaking Brazil, and most Latin American countries in Spanish. Europe is a developing country, with many mixed-race African immigrants and indigenous Indians, which developed earlier, but there was no breakthrough. It can be said that it is the third best place in the world, second only to Western Europe and Eastern Europe.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Eurasian cultural circle

Five Central Asian countries+three Caucasus countries+Turkey, the first eight countries are former members of SL, relatively westernized and close to Eastern European culture. Turkey is westernized, trying to leave Asia and enter Europe like Japan. Turkey's industrialization is good, because it is at the junction of Europe and Asia, which has both Eurasian cultural factors.

Intransitive Verb Southeast Asian Cultural Circle

Countries in the Malay Archipelago and Indochina Peninsula, Southeast Asian countries except Vietnam and Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines developed quite early in the late 20th century, with rapid economic growth. Brunei has less land, more people and less oil, and the other four countries have shifted more labor-intensive industries in recent years.

Seven, the Middle East cultural circle

West Asia+North Africa can be said to be composed of Arabs, Persians (Iran) and Afghans. The Arabian Peninsula is rich in oil, and Iran and Iraq are also rich in oil. In ancient times, there were many exchanges between Asia, Africa and Europe around the Mediterranean.

Eight. South Asian cultural circle

South Asian countries with Indian culture as the main body are all former British ZM areas. It can be said that Britain has unified the South Asian continent, and India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are all countries with a population of over 100 million. In particular, India will soon become the world's number one with 654.38+0.3 billion, and the overall development of South Asia is relatively average.

Nine. African cultural circle

Sub-Saharan Africa is a place dominated by blacks, and European culture has a great influence. English, French and Portuguese are the official languages of many African countries. Christianity is more popular, followed by Islam. Africa is the place where the least developed countries are concentrated, and most African countries are among the least developed countries.

PS: Except Australia and New Zealand, other island countries in Oceania are too small, with few people and great influence of western culture, so they are ignored.
