However, rising demand in consumer countries was a further complicating factor.

And as if that wasn't enough, all of these incredibly complicating things, right, they wanted it in one shot.

Further complicating the task is the very limited economic policy space available to the PA and the increasing need for donor support.

Further complicating the task ahead is the very limited policy space available to the PA to manage the economy and the increasing need for donor support.

A complicating factor was that the outside world appeared reluctant to condemn human rights abuses which occurred for fear of jeopardizing the fragile peace process and rebuilding phase.

Conflict, underdevelopment and poverty, the scourge of HIV AIDS, poor governance and neglect, policy failures, criminality and natural disasters are some of the causes and complicating factors which are routinely observed.

Morocco and the Frente POLISARIO, signatories to the agreement reached with the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO), had both violated the ceasefire, further complicating the situation.

Canada's position is that Jerusalem remains an issue for negotiation by the two sides and that Israel should desist from measures that pre empt such negotiations and risk complicating a peaceful resolution.

Complicating matters further is the government s lack of options for stabilizing property markets. In fact, a key part of the problem is that China s response to cyclical weakness always entails more housing construction.

A complicating factor is that contemporary intra state conflicts are characterized by numerous small factions and splinter groups, making it virtually impossible to obtain the consent of all parties to the peace process.

Complicating matters further are geographical and climactic disparities among constituencies. The Himalayan highlands, for example, will remain snowbound until May, by which time monsoon rains will have begun to sweep southern and northeastern India.

Witness the surge in capital flows to emerging markets as investors chase higher financial returns. Complicating matters even more, these inflows have become less and less connected to the recipient countries economic and financial fundamentals.

Complicating matters further, America s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have limited its regional clout. The US now faces an unpredictable Middle East that is writing its own history as well or as badly as it can.

In the meantime, both parties must refrain from inflammatory statements or taking any action, including legal, political or military, which would have the effect of further complicating the search for a solution or cause unnecessary friction.

That delegation was of the view that currently an attempt to define and to delimit outer space would be a theoretical exercise, could lead to complicating existing activities and might not be able to anticipate continuing technological developments.

The complex security situation and the new objective of monitoring compliance with the arms embargo are clearly complicating the efforts of the United Nations Operation in Côte d'Ivoire (UNOCI) to effectively carry out its mandate with the existing resources.

The center of fiscal conservatism is Germany, while Anglo Saxon countries are still drawn to John Maynard Keynes. This division is complicating matters enormously, because close international cooperation is needed to correct the global imbalances that remain at the root of the crisis.

These actions are part and parcel of a continuous land grab by Israel intended to impose facts on the ground and entrench its occupation, in grave breach of international law and further complicating and undermining efforts for a peaceful resolution of this conflict.

Because they avoid over simplification, foxes make fewer mistakes. Foxes will often agree with hedgehogs up to a point, before complicating things Yes, my colleague is right that the Saudi monarchy is vulnerable, but remember that coups are rare and that the government commands many means of squelching opposition.

Complicating matters further is the fact that China s political evolution has failed to keep pace with its economic progress. If the Chinese Communist Party feels threatened by a public frustrated with insufficient political participation and enduring social repression, it could slip into competitive nationalism, upending the already delicate regional status quo.

Complicating matters further are the US congressional elections in November. Given the likelihood that the Republicans will continue to control at least one house of Congress, Democratic President Barack Obama s policy flexibility will probably remain severely constrained unless, of course, the White House and Congress finally find a way to work together.

Recent discoveries in paleontology, archaeology, and especially genetics of striking similarities between extant humans and some ancient populations are further complicating assessments of modern humans origins. One leading idea was that modern humans primitive ancestor Homo erectus left Africa nearly two million years ago, and dispersed into other areas of the world.

Complicating this effort is the fact that, unlike in 1997 2002, China cannot absorb overcapacity by stimulating real estate investment and exports. And no one knows whether the much discussed innovative industries can have the impact that real estate investment and exports did not least because there is so much excess capacity in the traditional industries.

Only a unified, comprehensive approach can manage the forces driving momentous change in the Middle East, prevent outside powers rivalries from complicating the situation further, and ensure a peaceful outcome. With emerging regional powers increasingly challenging the capacity of the Security Council s permanent members to shape events in the Middle East, there is no time to waste.

The Lebanese government has volunteered to accept refugee children into the country s schools by introducing a second afternoon session and enlisting teachers and school directors to take on the extra workload. Complicating the situation, officials have had to persuade a divided country, already worried about the influx of refugees (which has added 20 to the country s population).

Further south, Kenya remains scarred by the aftermath of post election violence, and its constitutional review process could lead to yet more bloodshed. Moreover, Ethiopia s proximity to strife torn Yemen (where violentjihadis are congregating) just across the Red Sea, is complicating the country s foreign policy because of its role in working to keep Somalia out of Islamist control.

Such differences were a highly complicating factor for the newly established European Central Bank (ECB), which had to determine the appropriate interest rate for all members (the so called one size fits all policy). The larger the differences have become during the euro s first decade, the more the ECB s policy could be described as one size fits none.

Asia is, of course, experiencing rapid economic growth, but managing the region s strong nationalist tensions calls for the creation of regional security structures, together with closer economic integration. Complicating matters even more is what US scholar Kenneth Lieberthal and Wang Jisi, the dean of international studies at Peking University, called in a recent paper for the Brookings Institution strategic distrust.

In recent years, China has been increasingly embroiled in a nineteenth century style dispute with several of its Southeast Asian neighbors over conflicting claims to the South China Sea. Before one laments Americans unwillingness to crack a history book on an international subject, 160 it is enlightening to watch China in action, systematically complicating its vitally important relationships in the region over what?

The third transformation is demographic the fallout from China s official one child policy, which will cause the working age population to start declining in the mid 2010 s. This will cause economic growth to slacken, complicating effective management of China s domestic problems, which range from deep income disparities to the lack of political institutions capable of channeling popular grievances and demands.

Complicating matters further is the fact that the next wave of productivity enhancing technological developments are likely to occur in sectors such as health care, where their economic impact is difficult to measure. Economists believe that many improvements in health care quality such as more effective treatments for cataracts or cardiac disease are not accurately reflected in real GDP, and are incorrectly reported as price increases.

Governments that do embark on structural reform often find it frustrating to wait for that often elusive critical mass of revitalized sectors to materialize and economists find it very difficult to predict the timing and magnitude of the growth liftoff that should follow. Complicating matters further, the inevitability of unanticipated developments, whether homegrown or external in origin, means that course corrections often are needed.

India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the US form a rectangle of relationships in South Asia, with India, China, and the US constituting a triangle that not only contains the South Asia region, but is also a major theater in an increasingly global struggle. The emerging geopolitical centrality of the Indian Ocean, through which an ever increasing share of world trade passes, is a third, complicating, factor.

As long as China s economy does grow, its military power will likely increase, thus making China appear more dangerous to its neighbors and complicating America s commitments in Asia. A RAND study projects that by 2015, China s military expenditure will be more than six times higher than Japan s, and its accumulated military capital stock will be roughly five times higher (measured at purchasing power parity).

Complicating matters further is the need for Park to devise a viable response to a new diplomatic charm offensive by North Korea s usually charmless leader, Kim Jong un. Park remains, rightly, a skeptic concerning Kim s motives but the spectacle of the North s second highest ranking official appearing suddenly at the Asian Games earlier this month created a frisson of excitement that perhaps Kim the Younger may actually want to improve relations.

While the federal funds rate may be heading to 1 over the next 12 or 18 months, by then the narrowing GDP gap will imply an even higher Taylor rule interest rate. And, complicating things further, given US banks vast holdings of excess reserves as a result of the Fed s bond buying policies (quantitative easing), the federal funds rate is no longer the key policy rate that it once was.

Complicating the situation further is the division between secular Israelis and the fanatic Orthodox communities whose rejection of the secular state and yearning for a society based on the strictest interpretation of Halacha (Jewish religious law) epitomize a deep seated fear of Arabs and an uncompromising distrust of gentiles. Such communities, which comprise 30 of Jerusalem s population, make the notion of a united, peaceful Jerusalem farfetched, at best.

The emergence of anti establishment and non traditional political parties and candidates on both sides of the Atlantic is complicating even the most basic elements of economic governance, such as enactment of an active budget in the United States. In this context, taking the steps needed to upgrade economic systems, including infrastructure in the US and the incomplete union in Europe, or to meet historical challenges like the refugee crisis, seems all but impossible.
