Unraveling the Threads : Why does Congo represent the Future of the Globalized World Order?

Recent developments in the study of Africa have heightened the world's interest to have a stable and prosperous Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) that is capable to help Africa fulfil its economic potential in the 21 st century, while offering at the same time great potential for profound change to humanity.This synthesis highlights the nature and extent of the DRC's potentialities, and determine possible asymmetries and risks entailed in this process at the national, regional, and global levels.Analysis shows that the DRC has, regardless its geo-strategic position in the heart of Central Africa and immense natural ressources, long failed to act in concert and develop a transit economy in the subregion.These shortcomings have been attributed to the country's lack of political vision, political will, human and financial capacities, as well as the overall unpleasant regional climate.The study, therefore, provides a refine interpretative tool for understanding how the DRC represents the future of both African and global economic networks.Hence, its stabilization, pacification, and sustainable development, as well as its protection and power reinforcement are solely needed today, lest people in national and international spheres take advantage of the neglect to destroy the world's ecosystem and humanity.
