This does not influence the countries development because it can cause good trade with other countries which makes good business and a better economy.

    Another advantage is that Turkey could become the bridge between Europe and the Islamic world (Eindhovens Dagblad, 2004). If Turkey joins the European Union, it will be the first non-Christian country that is a member of the European Union. 98 percent of the population is Muslim, and because of their economic connection to the mainly Christian European Union, they would fulfil the bridging function to the Islamic countries that are situated at their South-East. Every member of the European Union will benefit from such an economic bridge; the area of distribution grows substantially.…

    The countries of Spain and Portugal are not getting any better. The countries are cutting more and more of their deficit spending while increasing taxes. Spain plans to cut an extra 13 billion euros in 2013. They plan to cut 150 billion euros over the next three years. A citizen claims that the government is taking away the health system. Spain’s youth unemployment, which is much higher than the already steep unemployment (25%), sits at an atrocious 50 percent. Spain’s government has been warned by the European Union that it will no longer receive financial assistance if they do not cut their deficits. The Spanish government has already persisted through nine months of tough austerity measures. Seventeen of Spain’s regional governments were forced to cut spending in healthcare and education. The healthcare is suffering severely. The hospitals are giving minimal coverage to patients on all floors of the hospital due to the cuts in budget. This is Spain’s second recession in three years. Businesses are releasing workers as the recession affects them. As a result of the layoffs, registered unemployment has reached a staggering 4.71 million people.…

    Spain continued the path of economic growth when the ruling party changed in 2004, keeping robust GDP growth during the first term of prime minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, even though some fundamental problems in the Spanish economy were already self-evident. Among these, according to the Financial Times, there was Spain's huge trade deficit (which reached a staggering 10% of the country's GDP by the summer of 2008). The "loss of competitiveness against its main trading partners" and, also, as a part of the latter, an inflation rate which had been traditionally higher than the one of its European partners, back then especially affected by house price increases of 150% from 1998 and a growing family indebtedness (115%) chiefly related to the Spanish Real Estate boom and rocketing oil prices.…

    That said the context of both crises were different between Argentina and Turkey. The Argentinean crisis for example was influenced more by emerging market contagion than the Turkish crisis. In Argentina the devaluation of the Brazilian real greatly hurt the country’s ability to export. With a third of exports destined for Brazil, Argentina’s current account deficit widened and the peso needed to devalue in order to compete with the rest of the Latin American’s devaluating currencies. The Turkish Crisis however, was cause more by its own internal problem than from international contagion. In Turkey the lack of confidence from investors related more so with Turkey’s own political and economic struggles rather than a case of throwing the baby out the with the bathwater. That said it is important to note that Argentina had many difficulties of its own, but also had international contagion effect its crisis more severely.…
