The ‘neo-neo’ debate had shifted the views of many theorists regarding the international system and the definition of what is international politics. Both neo-realism and neoliberalism are considered the progeny of the main theories of realism and liberalism respectively, presenting a new definition and framework to determine the nature of issue. Under these two progenies are also several versions, which diversifies the debate of both IR theories on issues pertaining to international relations and politics. However, while ...

An initially challenge faced by any scholar attempting to study neoliberal ideology in more detail is the apparent lack of written literature on neoliberalism from a neutral or sympathetic point of view.

How Governmental Decisions Caused Obesity In The United States

Within the framework of the liberal political doctrine and deregulated economy, the government imposes guilt upon citizens themselves for their health issues. Citizens have to demonstrate higher level of personal responsibility for their own health. On the other hand, obese citizens are potential clients for various businesses such as gyms, pharmaceutical companies, and beauty industry companies. Complete absence of obesity would mean fall of the aggregate demand for various goods and services such as fitness programs at gyms, healthy nutrition programs, detoxification meals, fitness devices (e.g., running tracks), etc.
According to the UN World Health Organization (WHO), the top ...

Economic transformation in Africa is tied to the colonial legacy. The spectre of colonialism haunts growth and development efforts.

Understanding the history of colonial primitive accumulation is critical to understanding the economic realities of present day Africa, in particular, the continent’s insistence on trading with countries like China. This paper seeks to explore ...

The military controls much of the political and economic state of Egyptian affairs. Throughout history, the images of Egypt's revolution show that the Egyptian military supported the civil disobedience in Tahrir Square. The recent events in Egypt show that Egyptian military forces maintain opposition to terrorism. Some Egyptians believe that the Muslim Brotherhood can gain unity amongst the Islamic countries in the future and create a united country and free Palestine. However, the fall of Hosni Mubarak, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF), brought the military body to avow a peaceful conversion of authority within a democratic system. This fact ...

ABSTRACT

This paper examines some of the contemporary theory regarding rhetoric in the electronic age. It begins by considering the fate of English Departments faced with the much-vaunted ‘death of the book’, but quickly moves on to the weightier matters of the rhetoric of the visual and the consequent enfeeblement of rhetoric in the electronic age. It considers both the positive and negative impacts of digital media. It goes on to argue and eventually conclude that the deterioration of rhetoric (which it argues began before the digital revolution) and the homogeneity of the rhetoric of the visual is a deliberate policy ...

Abstract

A comparison of The Tropic of Chaos: Climate Change and the New Geography of Violence with globalization and the economic development of Peru shows that the countries described in The Tropic of Chaos are similar to Peru in at least two aspects: (a) violence and ethnic clashes pervade in these countries; and (b) their economies are all affected by extreme weather conditions. When comparing present day Peru with the countries from the global south, the contrasts are more pronounced in the areas of (a) agricultural economy; (b) investment on local infrastructure; and (c) achievements in education.

Introduction

Golden Gulag: Prisons, Surplus, Crisis, and Opposition in Globalizing California is a book that is authored by Ruth Gilmore. The content in the book is as a result of research that was done in California Prisons (Gilmore 34-45). The author takes an ironic reproach to the conservative politicians and self-proclaimed criminologists who argue that prisonisation is the rational process to end crime rates and dispel fear from the streets. She takes a sharp critique at the unprecedented prison expansion in the United States.
California is nicknamed ‘the Golden State’ since it houses natural beauty within rectangular borders. The power of the ...

In The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism (2010), Naomi Klein found numerous examples of how the United States imposed a system of free trade, free markets and laissez faire capitalism on the rest of the world over the past forty years, through manufacturing crises to impose ‘shock treatments’ and structural adjustments on Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and Eastern Europe, or simply taking proper advantage of a crisis that was already underway. She calls the many “orchestrated raids on the public sphere in the wake of catastrophic events, combined with the treatment of disasters as exciting market ...
