Geopolitics and business development is a buzz word. There is a serious link between population
growth and the environment. This is basically found somewhere between the view that population growth is solely
responsible for all environmental ills and the view that more people means the development of new technologies
to overcome any environmental problems. An attempt has been made in this article to discuss the geopolitical
environment in Namibia and provides a comprehensive picture of the country’s, economy, polity, educa tion and
health situation in the country. It also highlights the environment and migration issues in general and how that
affects a developing country like Namibia. It further argues that action is required by a broad group of policy
makers in Namibia who can take important policy intervention measures that can ameliorate the current business
landscape of the country.
