In which competitive sport does the competitor wake up and complete everyday? Outside of abstractions of what "training" is, the answer is, "no sport has a competition everyday". In the same way, why would our entire economic system, which has significant influence over our politics and thus inter-national communications, be based on competition?
Our political system should be based entirely on cooperation. In the same way that a teacher must acknowledge and address the level of a student and his or her learning preferences, so too must a international community evaluation its constituents in terms of the "hidden curriculum" which is to Love. I know it may sound absurd to say that a Nation's curriculum is to Love, but it is True, regardless of its silly, non-political sounding humanity. It is true because all Peoples seek to survive, and in order to survive one must be well-verse in Love, especially when those People seek to survive in a diverse global community such as ours today.
Now, this means that any Nations with seemingly everlasting historical conflict need to invest, politically and economically, in the resolution of that conflict. Institutions should conscientiously, openly, and by design have this as their end. And this is not the responsibility of just the nation with the conflict, but of all nations.
So, if one nation does not have the means to resolve its conflicts due to the fact that it feels it must, first are foremost, compete in the global market, then that nation should be pardoned from competition in the global market and all other nations should contribute to the operations of that nation, so long as that nation focuses, for whatever duration of time necessary, on the resolution of its crippling conflicts.
