Özet
Hızla gelişen ulaştırma, haberleşme teknolojisi dünyada fiziki ve fikri sınırları ortadan kaldırırken, sermaye birikimine bağlı olarak artan araştırma geliştirme bütçeleri, hep daha iyiyi arayan yönetim anlayışı ile birlikte enerji ve üretim teknolojisindeki gelişim her geçen gün yeni ürünleri, daha fazla sayıda insan hayatına sokma başarısını göstermektedir. Üretim tarafındaki bu olağanüstü gelişimin sürdürülebilmesi ise ancak üretimi teşvik edecek tüketim talebi ile mümkündür. Oysa bu o kadar kolay değildir. Öncelikle ürünleri talep eden zengin Avrupa ve Amerika başta Kuzey Yarıküre’nin gelişmiş toplumlarında tüketici nüfusu artmak bir yana büyük bir gerileme söz konusudur. Pek çok üründe doyuma ulaşmış tüketicilerin medyan yaşı 40’ın üzerinde olup hızla yaşlanan toplumların tüketim talebi de daha azdır. Üstüne bu zengin tüketicileri hedefleyen çok sayıda rakip vardır. Orta gelir düzeyindeki ülkelerin tüketicileri ise gerek korumacı politikalar, gerekse ölçek ekonomisinden yararlanarak maliyet avantajına sahip üreticiler tarafından sarılmıştır. Yine pompalanan tüketimle artan hane halkı borçluluk oranları yeni tüketimi geliştirmenin önünde engeldir. Bu açmazdan en önemli çıkış fırsatlarından biri, belki de en önemlisi yeni doymamış pazar arayışları olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Bugünden kıtanın geleceğinde yer tutmak isteyen ülkeler tarafından yapılan doğrudan yatırımlar kıtadaki güçler mücadelesine ilişkin önemli ipuçları ortaya koymaktadır. Türkiye gibi gelişmekte olan ve dünya ekonomisinde ilk 10 içerisinde yer alma iddiasında olan bir ülke için bu mücadelede yer almak kaçınılmaz bir gerekliliktir. Kıtayla ilişkileri 15. yy’a dayanan ve sömürgeci gibi olumsuz algısı bulunmayarak önemli avantaja sahip ülkemizin, Afrika potansiyeli ile doğrudan yatırım yapan eski ve yeni sömürgeci rakiplerini değerlendirmesinde yarar bulunmaktadır.
The developing energy and production technologies have been succeeding to introduce an ever-increasing number of new products to the usage of human lives, with the help of boosting research and development budgets as a consequence of capital accumulation, as well as today’s management philosophy of searching for the best, while the rapid developments in transportation and information technology have been lifting the physical and intellectual barriers. The continuity of this outstanding development in the production site would be possible only with the existence of a consumption demand that will encourage production. However, this is not that much easy. First of all, the demanding rich and developed nations of Northern hemisphere especially Europe and America is not increasing but losing their consumer population. Further, the consumers of these nations whose median age is over 40 and increasing so after, has been mainly saturated and have a decreasing consumption demand due to ageing. Besides, there have been many rivals targeting the same rich groups. On the other hand, the consumers of medium income countries, have been surrounded by protectionist policies or by the producers using the cost advantage of economies of scale. The increased household debts because of pumped consumption stand as an obstacle before the new consumption development. One of them or the best option to exit from this closed cycle is regarded as the search for unsaturated new markets. The direct investments of those countries which want to take a part in the Continent’s future by today reveal certain hints of this power struggle. Being part of the struggle in Africa is an inevitable must for Turkey as a developing country which tries to reach the target of climbing to the list of top 10 economies of the World. Turkey which has deep relations with the Continent starting early as 15. Century and has no shame of colonisation, definitely has benefits to investigate the potential and rivals investing in Africa.
