Assess the ability of a culture within the Horn of Africa region to influence the local, regional, and global economic disparity and it’s direct effect on U.S. interest-to include the 2nd and 3rd order effects
My personal take on this: I chose economic disparity as it has a large abundance of 2nd and 3rd order effects that have a direct impact on U.S. interest i.e. the epidemic like rise of radical islam, the growing illicit trade market (drugs, weapons, humans, boot-leg market items) etc. Those are the first things that come to my mind but please expand from there with your take!
