Chart 9. All Countries and Colonies by Sovereignty Status

E10.1 United Nations General Assembly (UNGA): UN Members & UN Observer States

The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) is the most important organ of the United Nations that includes all members of the UN. However, the Resolutions of the UNGA are not binding, yet there is NO Veto Right to Superpowers in UNGA Votes, so the Resolutions of the UNGA have a political impact at the global level. Importantly, the Votes of the UNGA reflect the global Order, which currently reflects the political stress between the USA Coalition versus the Russia-China Coalition. For Full Details and the latest Membership Status, Please see United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) - Monitoring Alliances by Dr. Ziva Rozen-Bakher https://www.rozen-bakher.com/alliances/un

E10.4 Colonies

Colonialism started in the 15th century as part of the Imperialism and Mercantilism Doctrine (Thomas Mun), namely the establishment of colonies served as an essential tool to obtain cheap natural resources and a low-cost labour force in order to maximise the positive balance of international trade by imposing restrictions on colonies by the Home Country in related to production, trade, and prices. Thereby, under this mechanism, the home country purchased products and raw materials from the colonies at low prices, while the colonies purchased products and raw materials from the home country at exorbitant prices. Colonialism reached its peak in WWI, and since then, most of the Colonies became Independent Countries, while currently, most of the remaining 51 Colonies are small and/or weak ones, either with the objective of becoming an independent country or remaining as a Colony. For more details about the Mercantilism Theory, please see Section 2.1 in Rozen-Bakher, Z. Are Multinational Enterprises’ (MNEs) Theories explained the reality of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and International Trade in the 21st Century?.
