This principle, moreover, gains more credibility in less diverse countries in which vested interests are less complicated and overlapping than in more diverse – particularly immigrant – ones. More pragmatic benchmark principles could, instead, be adopted in order to judge whether a polity is a democracy or not. The United States emerge as exemplary of a diverse ...

Throughout the history of the United States, the Texas Constitution has always been criticized for numerous reasons. The late political scientist John E.

Yet how many people are aware of these limitations and its affect on our spectrum of ...

Many companies are so full of corruption; employees do not have anywhere to turn when reporting bad behavior. ...
