What Sparked My Interest in International Affairs and Politics?

Introduction

Being curious is a key factor to gain knowledge about different things and concepts that eventually shape our personalities according to diverse environment. Undoubtedly, it is one great blessing for me since my childhood that I am inquisitive about my surroundings. I still remember my school days when I asked plenty of questions to my teachers to apprehend the real gist of any new concept. Till today, my habit of inquiry persists which constantly pushed me to have a complete awareness of my environment. My approach of socially aware individuals ultimately directs me to observe the significance of different political issues that greatly influenced our environment at both local and global levels. Here, I am keen to describe the basic aspirations that help me to select the discipline of international relations to successfully complete my long-cherished dream of excelling in the field of international politics.

Discussion

An active inquiring mind and good intellectual skills are my major attributes that always helped me to grasp and embraced new concepts of different environments. Being raised in the region of Qatar was also one great opportunity for me that enhanced my interest to learn and think about the environment. The cultural diversity which exists in my country is one major encouraging factor that continuously motivates me to learn about different opinions and political domains. I believe interacting with diverse communities and people eventually helps to analyze different political perspectives by considering different sides of the argument.

I have always been an individual who is interested to get the latest updates about different events through news and different political opinions by experts. This form of consideration helps me to expand my horizon of political knowledge and start examining political events rationally. Gathering updated knowledge on different political activities is the basic form of motivation for me to figure out different roles and operations of governments at both local and international political levels. The enhanced knowledge for the discipline of politics helps me to figure out that politics is a multifaceted scenario that is associated with different relevant domains that require active attention. I come to know that the practical prospect of inquiry is the key factor to determine the roots of the political scenario and define existing associations between different countries.

As a person, I hold and advocate the specific values that are related to international relations. I am well aware of the importance of teamwork and trust as they are highly beneficial for a political party to work. I am willing to join your esteemed university in order to explore more about international affairs. It will help me to get proper insights into how a government is run by different personnel. I want to learn how governments are cooperating with each other in order to fulfill their motives and how this cooperation helps countries to formulate desired connections on global level. You will be amazed to know that my passion for learning all about this is beyond just educational aspects. Even in my country, I have gained a lot of insight into various political circumstances. By submerging myself in the knowledge of international relations, I would accomplish what I have dreamed about.

Conclusion

In a nutshell, strong consideration of my strengths in the form of my interests in inquiring events encourages me to learn about different political scenarios. I believe my life experiences as living in the politically-rich country, Qatar also played an important role in case of my interest in politics. Identification of different political events happened in my country such as the struggle of freedom enhance my interest to critically examine implications of different political events and draw some valuable conclusions. Inquiring about evidence is the basic approach to successfully apprehends political prospects.

Yemen Crisis

Review

Yemen is facing severe humanitarian crises after Afghanistan, Central Republic of Africa and Cameron. Throughout the last year, the situation has been alarming in the country. In the current year, Yemen is likely to face the worst humanitarian crises in the world. People are running out of food and shelter as a result of massive devastation in the country (Fitzpatrick, 2018). The root cause needs to be addressed in order to find some solution. The significant issues in the country are conflict, poverty, food scarcity, failure of developmental programmes, and change in the climate. According to an estimate by the coordinator of Emergency Relief Fund Mark Lowcock that United Nations alongside its partners plan to help the Yemenis who have been facing the worst conditions for the last few years. The World Food Programme has issued a warning that Yemen is on the verge of full famine as eighteen million out of its 29 million people are facing food insecurity, and among them, 8.4 are severely affected (Mohareb, Ivers, 2019). The civil war in the country intensified after the military intervention from Saudi Arabia in the year 2015, which shattered the countrys economy and as a result Yemeni Riyal depreciated by 180.

The overall cost of food went up by 35 during the last one year or so, and if the situation persists the riyal will face further decline, and it will be another massive blow for the economy (Pollard, 2018). In addition, more than twelve million people of the country are at the risk of starvation according to the reports by UN officials. One of the major problems has been the denial of access with Yemen which hindered food supplies and medicines since people were in dire need of these supplies. The areas which are controlled by Houthi rebels were the most affected because the access became more difficult in these areas. An investigation carried out by associated press suggested that some households in the northern part of Houthi-dominated regions of Aslam have been found eating leaves to remain alive when the distribution of edible things was unfair and influenced by the local authorities. The situation is alarming around the port of Hodeidah, the place where Saudi forces and its allies are making advancement to take control of the port city, which has been under the control of Houthi rebels since the last quarter of 2014. According to the UN, citizens are the most vulnerable in the country. All the stakeholders in the conflict have assured WFP that the lifeline port will keep operating in all cases, but WFP is seeking alternatives, in fact, the crises deepen, and the parties do not keep their promises.

Moreover, almost 70 to 80 of the food and medical supplies are received at the docks. However, the Houthi rebels are violating the principles, and they are not allowing the fair distribution of food and medical supplies in the country. Unfortunately, the air strikes by the Saudi-led coalition have destroyed hospitals, residential areas, markets, and even funerals. The civilians casualties in the war were not the result of collateral damage instead it was considered a direct attack on civilians.

Analysis

Yemen is of the poorest countries of the Arab world, which has gone through a lot of destruction due to civil war. In the past few years, the fighting was fuelled for some reasons, and mainly Saudi Arabia and its allies have started the war in the region while Iran has been backing Houthi rebels therefore, this war is the proxy war of Iran and Saudi Arabia that affects the whole region and crisis are deepening. The conflict began as a result of the failure of political changeover which was expected to bring stability to the nation in the wake of the Arab Spring as the longtime authoritative President Ali Abdullah Saleh was pressurized to transfer power to his second-in-command Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi in the year 2011(Moghadam, 2018). As soon as Hadi became President, he had to deal with various challenges which included the attacks by jihadis. The separatist movement in the southern part was also giving a tough time to the new govt. of Hadi. The Houthi movement was primarily a Shia movement, and they fought hard in the last decade when Saleh was in govt. Therefore, they exploited the weakness of the Hadis government and intensified their armed struggle against creating severe problems for the state. Yemen had a history of conflicts on sectarian grounds. In Hadis government, Houthi rebels took control of the northern heartland province of Saada and its adjacent areas.

The overall Yemeni population was not happy with the transition, and that is why they started supporting Houthi rebels, and by the late 2014 and beginning of 2015, the rebels took control of the capital Sanaa. The overall situation worsened for the President Hadi. The Saleh loyalist forces and the Houthi rebels conflict stretched to the whole country in an attempt to take get control of the country. The security situation in the country deteriorated which forced President Hadi to leave Yemen and settle abroad in the year 2015. As Saudi Arabia is a predominantly Sunni-Muslim country and the previous govt. Of Saleh and the next one got their full backing while Iran is country of Shia-Muslim majority therefore, they began to support Houthi rebels who were fighting hard to gain control of the country.

Saudi Arabia alongside eight Sunni Muslim States began air strikes in the country with an objective to reinstate Hadis government as they did not want Houthi rebels to get control of Yemen. The Saudi-led coalition got intelligence and logistic support from the United States, the United Kingdom, and France. In the process, civilians were at the receiving end, and still, they are suffering as a result of the war. Moreover, the coalition troops entered the southern port city of Aden in 2015 and drove Houthi rebels out of the south side in by October and November 2015. As a result, Hadis government settled temporarily in the Aden. However, it could not deliver fundamental services such as security, peace, and shelter, and the President continued to live in self-exile as his life was threatened in the city. Meanwhile, Houthi rebels were not pushed back from the capital Sanaa and were able to besiege another important city Taiz to hit ballistic missile across the border in Saudi Arabias territory. The conflict has been going on for last few years, and in the June 2018, the coalition launched an offensive on the rebel-controlled city of Hudaybah, whose port is the main lifeline for about 67 of the population of Yemen.

Impact

Yemen is a mall oil producing nation which is not part of OPEC. Yemen provides foreign companies with the opportunity to explore oil fields by employing their capital and technological resource. Before the civil war of 2015, the oil sector contributed 65 of its revenue and a quarter of its GDP. The country has not been able to export oil since the beginning of 2015 due to the conflict. The war disrupted oil production which was the primary source of Yemens earning. However, exports at the small level resumed from Yemen in the year 2017. Furthermore, International oil companies in Yemen, for example, OMV from Austria wants to resume its operations in the near future. If other foreign companies also support Yemen and start their operations in the country, it will undoubtedly be a good indicator for the overall economy of Yemen, but the operations of international companies largely depend upon the law and order situation of the country which needs to improve.

Yemens General Investment Authority (GIA) is the national agency for Foreign Direct promotion and coordination. If it offers an incentive to foreign companies to resume operations in the country, then the overall situation will improve. The recent development of economic measures was discussed by the IMF team under the supervision of Albert Jaeger. The group visited Amman (Jordons capital). They held talks with the high official of the Yemeni government and the Central Bank of Yemen to mitigate the humanitarian crisis in the year 2019. In the statement made by Jaeger, he emphasized increased donor grant to facilitate Yemen to overcome the shortage of foreign exchange that shrunk the overall imports. Therefore, the Donors grant directed through the Central Bank of Yemen would result in positive foreign exchange resources for necessary food imports but would facilitate the country to stabilize the rate of exchange and minimize inflation which is already affecting country adversely.

In this respect, the IMFs team meeting with Yemeni official would make a good impact on the overall economic condition of the country as it has urged foreign players to play their role in Yemens stability through donations and to help to develop peace in the country through dialogues and meetings (Takagi et al., 2018). As IMF expressed concerns for the betterment of Yemen, hopefully, their officials will facilitate Yemen to establish their institutions that got severely affected due to war. Finally, the economic figures are not very impressive in the country as GDP (PPP) 38.6 billion, the growth is -13.8, -16.1 five-year compound annual growth, and 1,287 per capita (Yemen Economy GDP, Inflation, Business.,2019). These figures will improve if the IMFs recommendations are implemented and the international community responds to it positively.

Conclusion

Yemen is facing the worst humanitarian Crisis in the world, and the situation may worsen in the current year. To resolve the crisis, the International community needs to step up to end to a conflict which has been affecting civilians. The country is at the risk of full-blown famine. The international powers such as U.S., UK, and France need to play their role positively, and they should bring Houthi rebels and President Hadis supporters on the table for peace talks so that things could improve in the country. As far as international trade is concerned, the plan of OMV to resume operation in Yemen is encouraging. The recent visit of the IMF team in Amman in which talks were held with Yemenis authorities is the positive sign as it may bring investment in the country which would exchange rate and would reduce inflation.

World Health Organization

World Health Agency (WHO) is the specialized agency of the United Nations. The agency was established in April 1948. The Headquarter of the WHO is located in Geneva, Switzerland. It is a member of the United Nations Development Group, and United Nations Economic and Social Council is the parent organization. In July 1946, sixty-one countries had signed the constitution of WHO ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"a2p0jmjnc94","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Group, 1998)","plainCitation":"(Group, 1998)"},"citationItems":[{"id":92,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/huOLSO3Z/items/3RUD554K"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/huOLSO3Z/items/3RUD554K"],"itemData":{"id":92,"type":"article-journal","title":"Development of the World Health Organization WHOQOL-BREF Quality of Life Assessment","container-title":"Psychological Medicine","page":"551-558","volume":"28","issue":"3","source":"Cambridge Core","abstract":"Background.

Since its establishment, it has been playing an instrumental role in the paradigm of international public health.

On 23 June 1851, the International Sanitary Conference was held ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"ablh3ti74r","properties":{"formattedCitation":"{\\rtf (\\uc0\\u8220{}Home,\\uc0\\u8221{} n.d.)}","plainCitation":"(“Home,” n.d.)"},"citationItems":[{"id":73,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/huOLSO3Z/items/YBH5N423"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/huOLSO3Z/items/YBH5N423"],"itemData":{"id":73,"type":"webpage","title":"Home","abstract":"Promote health.

This conference became the first predecessor of the World Health Organization. During the first convention of international sanitary, cholera was addressed.

In 1907, meeting between the government representatives in Rome stipulated the final decision about OIHP, i.e. Office international d’hygene publique. Permanent committee and secretariat were presented. Except the World War I, the committee met in 1908 for the first time and thereafter a year.

During 2002-03, the budget of 842,654,000 dollars was approved for WHO by the World Health Assembly. With the passage of time, contribution and goals kept on accelerating. Therefore, the budget of the organization witnessed immense growth to successfully incorporate and meet the growing metrics of international health issues and provision. The budget in amount for 2018-19 is about 4,422 billion dollars.

Structure:

WHO is a member of the United Nations Development Group. Various regional offices are established at different locations all around the world. This regional division was made during 1949-52. The reason behind the establishment of the regional office is to maintain the need by decision making on a regional level. Every region has its own committee; they conduct a meeting once in a year and discuss all regional progress, procedures and problems. Besides, there exist the World Health Assembly and Executive Board and regional committees operate under the influence of these bodies. World Health Assembly works as the legislative body for WHO. Above all are the member states. Member states of WHO select the delegation for the World Health Assembly, who take important decision for WHO ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"aso8l9ime3","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Ruger & Yach, 2009)","plainCitation":"(Ruger & Yach, 2009)"},"citationItems":[{"id":95,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/huOLSO3Z/items/9APX35XA"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/huOLSO3Z/items/9APX35XA"],"itemData":{"id":95,"type":"article-journal","title":"The Global Role of the World Health Organization","container-title":"Global health governance : the scholarly journal for the new health security paradigm","page":"1-11","volume":"2","issue":"2","source":"PubMed Central","abstract":"The 21st century global health landscape requires effective global action in the face of globalization of trade, travel, information, human rights, ideas, and disease.

For the membership of the organization, all United Nations’ member states are eligible. Other states can only be a potential part after the approval through votes given by the World Health Assembly.

Main Objectives:

The main focus of the World Health Organization is to provide the maximum level of health and care. To achieve the objective, the WHO adheres to the provisions and statutes promulgated in the constitution. The organization is providing its services on international health as a directing and coordinating authority. It also gives assistance and guidance to the governments in the hour of crisis. During emergencies, it advances to offer necessary aid to the people but only after the acceptance of the government. The WHO makes sure to provide its services equally and the obligations are not dependent on the investment level of the member countries. The WHO ensures the best level health care to those who need it. Another objective of the WHO is to promote advancement of health through advancement of technology in health care and by promoting cooperation professional and scientific groups.

Role:

For the public health sector, the main role of the organization can be defined as; it monitors the health situation and focuses on the trends of health.

A Critical Appraisal on the Need of Reforms

The member states and the international bodies have asserted significance on the need of introducing potential changes in the structure of the WHO. The resources of the organization have struggled to meet the challenges assigned to it by the states. The rise of new global health threats as pandemic flu, HIV/AIDS and noncommunicable threats have stretched the lacunas embedded between the capabilities and mandate of the organization. The ventures of institutions, separately taken initiatives and partnerships have further challenged the delivery and mandate of the WHO. The Ebola epidemic was one of the prominent menaces which caused the sanctity and reverence of WHO to be compromised ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"a1r7r9n98rg","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Pittet, Allegranzi, Boyce, & Experts, 2009)","plainCitation":"(Pittet, Allegranzi, Boyce, & Experts, 2009)"},"citationItems":[{"id":93,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/huOLSO3Z/items/2LFRXDFF"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/huOLSO3Z/items/2LFRXDFF"],"itemData":{"id":93,"type":"article-journal","title":"The World Health Organization Guidelines on Hand Hygiene in Health Care and Their Consensus Recommendations","container-title":"Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology","page":"611-622","volume":"30","issue":"7","source":"Cambridge Core","abstract":"The World Health Organization's Guidelines on Hand Hygiene in Health Care have been issued by WHO Patient Safety on 5 May 2009 on the occasion of the launch of the Save Lives: Clean Your Hands initiative.

Moreover, the paradigm of global health has transitioned into a multitasking community which incorporates a wide range of organizations with immense expertise.

Potential Outsourcing

The WHO ought to aim at outsourcing a number of its operations to the pertinent global agencies that are sustainable and delivering as per the evolving needs of the global health model. It will boost the operational management of the organization to an immense extent. For instance, the WHO will advance to successfully focus on a restricted number of core activities to harness competitive advantage ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"a1mr1huqgk4","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Group, 1998)","plainCitation":"(Group, 1998)"},"citationItems":[{"id":92,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/huOLSO3Z/items/3RUD554K"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/huOLSO3Z/items/3RUD554K"],"itemData":{"id":92,"type":"article-journal","title":"Development of the World Health Organization WHOQOL-BREF Quality of Life Assessment","container-title":"Psychological Medicine","page":"551-558","volume":"28","issue":"3","source":"Cambridge Core","abstract":"Background.

The orchestration of the broader array of global stakeholders of health will assist the WHO to manifest the resources in fundamental activities. In essence, the WHO was never established on the primary principles of implementing the essential global health activities.

Several empirical instances call for the need of outsourcing the operations to other potential agencies. The standard and technical settings are crucial in these circumstances. The Gates-funded Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, in the University of Washington, is acknowledged worldwide. They have contributed with extensive international research studies to become the pioneer of the diseases study in the world. A perspective can be established that it is the major ally of the WHO and both must assist the WHO under challenging times. However, the facts on grounds contradict the reality. The Department of Health Statistics and Informatics of the WHO conducts the research studies similar to the other discussed body. Both these organizations often face conflict in reaching a conclusion or stipulating the experiments or research ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"atmnkgd6lg","properties":{"formattedCitation":"{\\rtf (\\uc0\\u8220{}WHO reforms for a healthy future: report by the Director-General,\\uc0\\u8221{} n.d.)}","plainCitation":"(“WHO reforms for a healthy future: report by the Director-General,” n.d.)"},"citationItems":[{"id":105,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/huOLSO3Z/items/ARTA5HIA"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/huOLSO3Z/items/ARTA5HIA"],"itemData":{"id":105,"type":"webpage","title":"WHO reforms for a healthy future: report by the Director-General","URL":"https://apps.who.int/iris/handle/10665/2434","accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",3,9]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (“WHO reforms for a healthy future: report by the Director-General,” n.d.). An intricate question is worth mentioning here. Does the international community and states require two giant organizations with the same global motives, goals and operations?

The response of the WHO on HIV is the other dominant area where the organizations endeavors overlapped with other agencies. It is imperative for the organization to establish a management unit within the higher ranks of the WHO to assess objectives and determine the need of outsourcing the crucial tasks. It will, irrefutably, take significant time and rational argument to convince the sitting government model as the member states.

Sustainable and Predictable Structure of Financing

The WHO is generally financed through the two streams. The member states have to pledge a certain amount of money based on the population and economy of each state. The second source is the voluntary contribution made for specific diseases ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"a16jrudeuep","properties":{"formattedCitation":"{\\rtf (\\uc0\\u8220{}WHO | Financial and Programmatic reports,\\uc0\\u8221{} n.d.)}","plainCitation":"(“WHO | Financial and Programmatic reports,” n.d.)"},"citationItems":[{"id":84,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/huOLSO3Z/items/85MCSFLM"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/huOLSO3Z/items/85MCSFLM"],"itemData":{"id":84,"type":"webpage","title":"WHO | Financial and Programmatic reports","URL":"https://www.who.int/about/finances-accountability/reports/en/","accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",3,9]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (“WHO | Financial and Programmatic reports,” n.d.). To potentially improve the operational framework of the WHO, the overall budget ought to be at least doubled. The mandatory payments from the member states must comprise 55% of the budget within five years ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"a1bdnr2pas4","properties":{"formattedCitation":"{\\rtf (\\uc0\\u8220{}World Health Organization News \\uc0\\u8211{} the latest from Al Jazeera,\\uc0\\u8221{} n.d.)}","plainCitation":"(“World Health Organization News – the latest from Al Jazeera,” n.d.)"},"citationItems":[{"id":87,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/huOLSO3Z/items/6TT4NCPP"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/huOLSO3Z/items/6TT4NCPP"],"itemData":{"id":87,"type":"webpage","title":"World Health Organization News – the latest from Al Jazeera","abstract":"Get today's live news on World Health Organization: current events, photos, infographics and Al Jazeera's exclusive stories from witnesses.","URL":"https://www.aljazeera.com/topics/organisations/world-health-organisation.html","accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",3,9]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (“World Health Organization News – the latest from Al Jazeera,” n.d.). Moreover, the impact of the voluntary contributions needs to be assessed thoroughly based on the ventures, outcomes and delivery in critical circumstances. The voluntary contributions deprive the agency to set its own primary agenda. The global burden of disease rarely aligns with these voluntary funds. A strict check ought to be kept on the influence and activities of the donors as they are often willing to overlook the noncommunable diseases, mental illness and injuries ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"a8nand0atb","properties":{"formattedCitation":"{\\rtf (\\uc0\\u8220{}World Health Organization global policy for improvement of oral health \\uc0\\u8208{} World Health Assembly 2007 - Petersen - 2008 - International Dental Journal - Wiley Online Library,\\uc0\\u8221{} n.d.)}","plainCitation":"(“World Health Organization global policy for improvement of oral health ‐ World Health Assembly 2007 - Petersen - 2008 - International Dental Journal - Wiley Online Library,” n.d.)"},"citationItems":[{"id":103,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/huOLSO3Z/items/6FFJ6PVN"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/huOLSO3Z/items/6FFJ6PVN"],"itemData":{"id":103,"type":"webpage","title":"World Health Organization global policy for improvement of oral health ‐ World Health Assembly 2007 - Petersen - 2008 - International Dental Journal - Wiley Online Library","URL":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1875-595X.2008.tb00185.x","accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",3,9]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (“World Health Organization global policy for improvement of oral health ‐ World Health Assembly 2007 - Petersen - 2008 - International Dental Journal - Wiley Online Library,” n.d.). The critical deliberation of these facts reveals that the system of voluntary contributions has made the WHO to function as a donor-driven organization. It must be revisited as the split of the budget is adversely affecting the budge effectiveness and competency to meet health challenges.

Revamp the Regional Structure

The regional structure should be revisited by empowering the director general to select the regional directors. The regional officers are independent bodies within the United Nations structure and possess control over country and regional personnel. Each region formulates separate budget and most of the contribution is made by the central budget. It casts adverse impacts on the smooth functioning of the organization. The internal financial capacities get depleted in true letter and spirits. In the crisis of Ebola, the key stakeholders confronted each other to gain and exercise control which hindered the international assistance ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"a176u8gddbv","properties":{"formattedCitation":"{\\rtf (\\uc0\\u8220{}WHO | Programme Budget Web Portal,\\uc0\\u8221{} n.d.)}","plainCitation":"(“WHO | Programme Budget Web Portal,” n.d.)"},"citationItems":[{"id":81,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/huOLSO3Z/items/3KDPUSM3"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/huOLSO3Z/items/3KDPUSM3"],"itemData":{"id":81,"type":"webpage","title":"WHO | Programme Budget Web Portal","URL":"http://open.who.int/2018-19/budget-and-financing/gpw-overview","accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",3,9]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (“WHO | Programme Budget Web Portal,” n.d.). Therefore, it is imperative fort the WHO to act and operate in a coherent manner. The regional director general must possess the power to monitor the workforce, resources and norm development and deployment in the global health emergency.

Mitigation and Prevention of the Global Health Emergency

The mandate of the organization should primarily focus on the prevention of the epidemics across the world. The establishment of a global health reserve workforce, comprising highly trained personnel, in a lower-income setting is significant to be deployed in case of global emergencies ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"a2jb8r7ckrj","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Yach, 2016)","plainCitation":"(Yach, 2016)"},"citationItems":[{"id":109,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/huOLSO3Z/items/MV7VQP5E"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/huOLSO3Z/items/MV7VQP5E"],"itemData":{"id":109,"type":"article-journal","title":"World Health Organization Reform—A Normative or an Operational Organization?","container-title":"American Journal of Public Health","page":"1904-1906","volume":"106","issue":"11","source":"PubMed Central","DOI":"10.2105/AJPH.2016.303376","ISSN":"0090-0036","note":"PMID: 27715289\nPMCID: PMC5055771","journalAbbreviation":"Am J Public Health","author":[{"family":"Yach","given":"Derek"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2016",11]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Yach, 2016). Once a global health emergency is declared, the organization should establish a Contingency fund. Several committees have highlighted it but the organization has failed to respond prudently. In addition, it gives rise to the need of the international health fund. The long-term international health fund will not only assist the nations but also confront the emergencies. It will likely boost the economic and healthcare dimensions of the lower-income states.

The intervention of the United States

The fundamental debate about the contentious issue of debate manifests is not related to the structural constraints. Instead, the true reform will occur after the bold decision making of the stakeholders of the WHO. The member states generally shape the priorities and resources of the WHO. As the pioneer in the global health, the United States must act as the lead catalyst in the process. Nevertheless, the WHO must also advance to take the responsibility and change the rigid policies. If the stakeholders prefer not to reform the structural and institutional problems, the international comity of nations will never advance to believe the values and applications of the WHO. The bottom line is that the financing, governance and management of the WHO must be revisited as per the policies and the innovations discussed above.

Case Summary

In the year of 2009, the government of China has marked the proposed acquisition of Huiyuan Juice by Coca Cola rejected. Based on the deal of 2.3 billion US dollars, the company will have more investment of 2 billion US dollars in the country's markets. Because of the monopolization of fruit juice and beverage industry, the government rejected the investment. This rejection also spectacle all other investors that the government would be highly focusing on foreign investments in the future.

Despite the international financial crises, retails sales in China grow with double-digit. Undeniably, China cannot be considered as an emerging market while looking at some durable and nondurable goods while the country is a large market for automobiles internationally as well as brands like KFC and Pizza Hut have generated one of third of their overall revenues. Plus, because of larger markets and constant growth, the country remains an attractive host for foreign investment.

If you are working as a consultant for Coca Cola, how does the dismissal of the deal by the Chinese government affect your continued investment in the country?

The deal between Coca-Cola and China Government was about the business expansion of Coca-Cola into the market of China. This deal was hugely crucial and important for the company to expand its operations and improve its revenues and enhance profit market by targeting a larger sized market(s).

The dismissal of the deal by the Chinese government could put a huge impact on the continuous investment of Coca-Cola in the country in several ways. The dismissal of the deal can lead the company to switch its focus towards and utilize their energies to widen the reach of their fundamental brands in the China (Sun, 2011). As well as, since the deal of Huiyuan Juice by Coca Cola has been dismissed by the country, the company could come up with new potential brands and products, especially in the juice sector. The company has to engage in the juice sector because the juice market of China has enough potential which can be utilized by Coca-Cola. In brief, the dismissal of the deal can have a positive impact on the compact if the case has been analyzed efficiently and looked intensely from all perspectives (Sun, 2011).

What more could private business, like Coca Cola, do to convince the government that new enterprise can bring positive economic development to the country?

There are many arguments which can be given by a private company like Coca-Cola to the government that new company or enterprise could bring economic development to the country or region (Young, Hood, Peters, 1994). Some potential reasons which show that how a new enterprise could bring economic development to the country are as follows.

New enterprise can contribute to the country's GDP through its contribution to Taxation.

It provides more employment opportunities to the public of the country

New enterprise invests in new and innovative products and services which are highly needed by people of the country.

Positively affect the social-economic objectives of the country

They add enough contribution to community development and bring economic and social change

Is the prospect of China’s sheer volume of potential customers too good to pass up? Or do the actions of the government and the country’s recent stock market woes indicate a signal that investment should be reconsidered?

The prospect of China's sheer volume of potential customers too good to pass up because the economic level of the people progresses aggressively as well as the daily spending of the public of the country has shown a huge increase in the last years. Beyond that, the development of small scale business has enhanced the level of daily spending of the people.

The government of China has been found active in terms of attracting businesses to make investments in the industries and markets of the country. As well as the recent and even current stock market of the country has shown and shows a high increase in the investments of existing businesses, companies and brands (Ambler, Witzel, Xi, 2016). So based on the information of the stock market of China, it could be stated and indicated that investment of Huiyuan Juice by the Coca-Cola company in the Chinese market would be marked reconsidered.
