Name for decade

In an English-speaking world, the name for this decade has never been universally accepted in the same way as during the decades of the 80s, 90s, etc. Orthographically, this decade can be written as "2000s" or " '00s".

When "20-" is dropped, the individual years in the decade are usually referred to as starting with "oh", such as "oh-seven" to refer to 2007. During the 2000s decade, it was more common to hear the so-called year beginning with "two thousand (and)" rather than "twenty oh". Beginning around mid-2010, it became more common to refer to individual years of this decade as "twenty-seven-seven" or "twenty-eight-eight" than during the 2000s, even though "two thousand (and) "the pattern is still dominant.

Politics and war

The War on Terror and War in Afghanistan began after the 11 September 2001 attacks. The International Criminal Court was formed in 2002. A US-led coalition invaded Iraq, and the Iraq War led to the end of Saddam Hussein's reign as President of Iraq. and Ba'ath Party in Iraq. Al-Qaeda and Islamic militant groups affiliated with terrorist acts throughout the decade. These actions include the Madrid train bombing of 2004, the 7/7 London bombings in 2005, and the Mumbai attacks linked to al-Qaeda in 2008. The EU is expanding sanctions amid Iran's failure to comply with its transparency obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and United Nations resolution Nations.

The War on Terror creates extreme controversy around the world, with questions about justification for certain US actions that cause loss of support for American governments, both inside and outside the United States. Additional armed conflicts occur in the Middle East, including between Israel and Hezbollah, then with Israel and Hamas. The largest loss of life due to natural disasters comes from the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, which caused a tsunami that killed about a quarter of a million people and displaced more than a million people. International cooperative rescue missions by many countries from around the world help the efforts of the most affected countries to rebuild and recover from destruction. The great loss of life and property values ​​came in 2005, when Hurricane Katrina flooded nearly the entire city of New Orleans. The resulting political collapse severely damaged George W. Bush's administration because of its failure to act quickly and effectively. In 2008, Barack Obama was elected President of the United States and became the first African-American president of the United States when he succeeded Bush in 2009.

Economy

The most significant evolution of the early 2000s in the economic landscape was the predictable breakthrough of the Chinese economic giant, which had double-digit growth for almost a decade. To a lesser extent, India also benefits from an economic boom that sees the two most populous countries becoming increasingly dominant economic forces. The rapid capture of developing countries with the developed countries triggered some protectionist tensions during that period and was partly responsible for the increase in energy and food prices by the end of the decade. Economic developments in the final third of the decade are dominated by the global economic downturn, which began with the housing and credit crisis in the United States at the end of 2007, and led to the bankruptcy of large banks and other financial institutions. The outbreak of the global financial crisis triggered a global recession, beginning in the United States and affecting most of the industrial world.

• A study by the World Institute for Economic Development Research at the University of the United Nations reports that 1% of the richest adults alone own 40% of global assets in 2000. The three richest people have more financial assets than the combined 48 lowest countries. The combined wealth of "10 million dollar millionaires" grew by nearly $ 41 trillion in 2008.
• The sale of British gold reserves, 1999-2002 is a policy pursued by HM Treasury when gold prices are at their lowest point in 20 years, following an extended bear market. The period itself has been dubbed by some commentators as Brown Bottom or Brown's Bottom .

This period takes its name from Gordon Brown, the United Kingdom's Minister of Finance (later Prime Minister), who decided to sell about half of Britain's gold reserves in a series of auctions. At that time, British gold reserves were worth about US $ 6.5 billion, accounting for about half of the US $ 13 billion in foreign currency reserves.

• The incorporation of AOL 2001 with Time Warner (the $ 350 billion deal, which is the largest merger in American business history) is "the biggest mistake in corporate history", believes Time Warner chief Jeff Bewkes

In what usually takes years to achieve; many of the reasons cited for the Dow's rapid rise from the 11,000 level in early 2006 to the 14,000 level at the end of 2007. They include possible takeovers and future mergers, healthy earnings reports particularly in the technology sector, and moderate inflation figures; fueling speculation the Federal Reserve will not raise interest rates. Roughly equivalent to a 2000 record when adjusted for inflation, this represents the high end of the bull cycle. The index closed 2007 at 13,264.82, the rate it will not surpass for nearly five years.

Economic growth in the world

Between 1999 and 2009, according to World Bank statistics for GDP:

• The world economy with nominal GDP almost doubled from US $ 30.21 trillion in 1999 to US $ 58.23 trillion in 2009. This figure is not adjusted for inflation. With PPP, world GDP rose by 78%, according to the IMF. But inflation-adjusted nominal GDP only rose 42%, according to the IMF constant price growth rate. The following figures are not inflation adjusted to nominal GDP and should be interpreted with extreme caution:
• The United States (US $ 14.26 trillion) retains its position as owner of the world's largest economy. However, the magnitude of its contribution to the total global economy declined from 28.8% to 24.5% of the nominal price or down from 23.8% to 20.4% adjusted for purchasing power.
• Japan (US $ 5.07 trillion) maintained its position of having the second largest economy in the world, but its contribution to the world economy also shrank significantly from 14.5% to 8.7% of the nominal price or falling from 7.8% to 6.0% adjusted for purchasing power.
• China (4.98 trillion US dollars) changed from the sixth largest economy to the third largest economy, and in 2009 contributed to 8.6% of the world economy, up from 3.3% in 1999 by nominal prices or up from 6 , 9% to 12.6% adjusted for purchasing power.
• Germany (US $ 3.35 trillion), France (US $ 2.65 trillion), United Kingdom (US $ 2.17 trillion) and Italy (US $ 2.11 trillion) followed as the 4th largest economy , 5th, 6th and 7th, respectively in 2009.
Brazil (US $ 1.57 trillion) maintained its position as the 8th largest economy, followed by Spain (US $ 1.46 trillion), which remained at 10th place.
• Other major economies including Canada ($ 1.34 trillion, 10, down from 9), India (1.31 trillion US dollars, remaining 11th out of 12), Russia (1.23 trillion dollars , from 16 to 12) Mexico (875 billion US dollars; 14, down from 11th, Australia (US $ 925 billion, from 14 to 13) and South Korea (US $ 832 billion; 15, down from 13). >

• Average house prices in the UK, up 132% between the fourth quarter of 2000, and 91% over the decade; but the average salary only increased by 40%.

Globalization and dissatisfaction

The removal of trade and investment barriers, the growth of the domestic market, the very low currency, the proliferation of education, the rapid development of the technology and information industry systems and the growth of the world economy led to significant growth of offshore outsourcing over the decade as many multinational companies significantly increase manufacturing subcontract more and more, services) across national boundaries in developing countries and particularly in China and India, because of the many benefits and especially because the two countries which are the two most populous countries in the world provide large pools for talent and because both countries are source countries low cost. As a result of this growth, many of these developing countries accumulate capital and start investing overseas. Other countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Australia, Brazil, and Russia, benefit from rising demand for mineral and energy resources generated by global growth. Discharging from manufacturing is felt in Japan and parts of the United States and Europe that have not been able to develop a successful innovative industry. Opponents point out that offshore outsourcing practices by higher wage countries lead to a reduction in domestic work and their own domestic investment. As a result, many customer service jobs as well as jobs in the information technology sector (data processing, computer programming, and technical support) in countries such as the United States and the UK have been or potentially affected.

As global trade increased over the decade (partly driven by China's entry into the WTO in 2001), there has been little progress in the multilateral trading system. International trade has continued to expand over the decade as developing and developing countries, particularly China and South Asian countries, benefit from low wages and often under-valued currencies. However, global negotiations to reduce tariffs do not make any progress, as member countries of the World Trade Organization are unsuccessful in finding an agreement to expand the reach of free trade. The Doha Round of Negotiations, launched in 2001 by the WTO to promote development, failed to be resolved due to rising tensions between regional areas. Also the CancÃÆ'ºn Conference in 2003 found a consensus on trade in services and agricultural subsidies.

The comparative increase of China, India, and other developing countries also contributes to their increasing influence in international forums. In 2009, it was determined that G20, which was originally a forum of finance ministers and central bankers, would replace the G8 as the premier economic council.
