Butterfly Effect

A butterfly flaps its wings in Africa and a hurricane formation takes place in Asia.

The Butterfly Effect theory proposed by Edward Lorenz could probably be applied equally to geopolitical turfs and economy.

GMR Infrastructure company from India was stripped of a development project in the small island nation of Maldives last year. India cried foul and talks have been going on since then about the legalities of this event and other things associated.

India, in retaliation has mooted to make visa compulsory for Maldivian medical tourists which was not so till date. The result - medical tourism in India is going to suffer for a non-related distant infrastructure project loss at a distant time in an island nation in Indian Ocean.
