Introduction

In a normal context, though, even two states in similar vicinity exhibit major differences in individual economic policies, religious inclination, and political systems.

The case of Saudi Arabia and France is a good one to understand how regional influences affect, the systems of government, political institutions, faith and economic policies of a state.

Leonardo Pisa

Prior to the introduction of modern concepts for calculation, various mathematical operations would have required proficiency in the use of the abacus. However, in 1202, Leonardo da Pisa, an Italian math expert, released a book entitled “Liber Abaci,” or “Book for Calculation.” The book revolutionized the methods of calculating figures by establishing useful approaches in using the Arabic numbers 0 to 9 to the Western world. Though the book did not find immediate acceptance in the West, in the end it revolutionized the areas of commerce, finance, research, science and technology. Furthermore, da Pisa’s work laid the ...

Arrogance and ignorance may be called the twin causes of the American Revolution. Trace and discuss the ways in which the British lost their American colonies. Why were the British unable to retain the colonists’ loyalty in the period leading up to the Revolutionary War? The rapid economic growth of the colonies encouraged them to free themselves from the constraints posed by England in the fields of trade, industry and land use. Colonies wanted to get rid of the taxes imposed by the British government. Despite all this, in the 60’s of the 18th century colonial oppression increased. ...

The United Arab Emirates was formed in 1971 by the United Kingdom ending its treaties and withdrawing from the area, including Bahrain and Qatar. The Gulf States were left in disarray, as many were too small and too poor to function as an independent state without outside support. The UAE formed as a result, combining the sheikdoms of seven areas into one state, with Dubai and Abu Dhabi as the de facto economic powers, due to their oil produce (Al Abed). The Emirates created and implemented a constitution that solidified the bonds between the member states, and one that ...

Introduction

It seems difficult to analyze democratic transition from the standpoint of international dimension both theoretically and practically because not so much literatures that discuss about what the external environment actually is and how it might contribute to domestic change (Cavatorta 2005). However, it does not mean that international context will be ignored in the analysis process because international factors might have impacts on the transition process through their connections with domestic actors particularly in terms of distribution of power and resources, which in turn have effect on how they will act (Cavatorta 2005). One thing to remember is a ...

For this comparative research, we selected Spain and Germany, two countries of the European Union with similar political parliamentarian systems. Personification is a distinctive feature of presidentialism and it seems reasonable to examine to what extent this trend occurs in European parliamentary systems today.

The position of political leaders in parliamentary systems is different from the position occupied by them in the presidential republics. Lijphart identifies three characteristics that distinguish essentially presidentialism and parliamentarianism (Lijphart, 2000). Firstly, in a presidential system the executive chief is elected directly by the electors by popular vote and therefore without legislative intervention, so ...

The Fukushima Daichi is a technological disaster triggered by natural calamities on March 11th, 2011, when a massive earthquake measuring 9.0 on the Richter scale hit Japan.

Causes of the Revolution

The American Revolution occurred between 1765 and 1783 after the colonists within the thirteen American colonies declined the British aristocracy and monarchical rule. Beginning 1765, the American colonists refused to acknowledge the power of the British parliament to tax the American colonists while the latter did not have colonial representatives in the governments. The following years were marred by protests as American patriots sought to ventilate their disapproval of the authority of the British monarchy and aristocracy over the thirteen American colonies. Religion played an important role in ushering the revolution as the Christian revivalists in the Great Awakening ...

The supremacy of God in preaching is one of the many books by John Piper and just like all of his other books; the central focus of the book is about the glory of God.

Throughout the book, Piper makes the clarion call that preachers should make the glory of God the central pillar in their preaching rather than focusing ...

After the defilement of the congregation and consequent breakout of the French Revolution, their impact had extremely debilitated. Despite the fact that the impact of the clergy toward the end of the eighteenth century had practically no practical effect, the years to come after the end of the French Revolution demonstrated the quality and flexibility of the congregation. It wasn't until the state-church bargain was marked by both the religious pioneers and the administration pioneers of France when the enduring impact of Catholicism started to be felt once more, and thus, this impact would be felt all through history ...
