POLITICAL HISTORY

What is the relationship between country size and trade and will existence of many small countries promote or inhibit trade? Country size is a highly relevant factor as far as trade is concerned.

In What Ways Can a Classical Realist Be Critical of Waltz’s Neorealism?

The international political playing field has long been rife with commentary and criticism: the sheer nature of every country being independent of others in their politics but are still wholly dependent on others for their security (war and economy are but two factors reliant on other nations). Classical realism and Waltz’s Neorealism are two such theories which comment on international relations and attempt to explain the behaviour of individual states within the global perspective. Both relate directly to the Realism Movement, which dictates having a realistic approach which prioritizes the national interest over ideology and moral concerns (Moseley). Political ...

Introduction

The aviation industry is currently under rigorous public scrutiny due to its detrimental impact on the environment. The adverse environmental impact of air travel begins even prior to take off. The severity of damages to the environment caused by construction of airports is tremendous, such as cutting down massive number of trees to make way for the construction of runways. In addition, air travel consumes an enormous amount of carbon dioxide-based fuel that further contributes to air pollution and climate change. All of these detrimental environmental effects of air travel justify significant government intervention and active involvement of policymakers ...

Introduction

The Vietnamese War, fought from December 1956 up to April 1975, is one of the Cold War-era proxy wars fought in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. Although, on paper, the war was fought between North and South Vietnam, allies of the two antagonists were also involved in the war. For example, North Vietnam was supported by its communist allies (such as China), while South Vietnam was supported by anti-communist allies (such as the United States and France). Up to date, there is no consensus about whether the war itself was necessary, and whether objectives of the war were achieved.

There are particular fourteenth-century ideas emphasized in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, such as the pentangle, the symbolism of which must be heavily considered when reading the poem. In other words, modern readers should not apply modern views to the poem, such as views about ...

Contemporary studies view parties as alliances of politicians whose ultimate objective is to win electoral office. Parties make promises on behalf of their candidates about what they will do if elected, and help improve chances of reelection for incumbents through their records of implementing their programs (Bawn et al. 571). It is plain to see how these parties might serve democracy. Citizens can give more effective direction to government by voting for a party instead of an individual. They create an incentive for responsible governance by holding an entire party rather than a single politician accountable for government actions (Bawn et ...

Abstract:

Communism has been a sworn enemy to many fascist regimes, especially Hitler's, Mussolini's and Franco's despite many arguing that they are somewhat related to each other. From the word "communisme", communism advocates for equal class structure and control over the problem of poverty. Meanwhile, fascism came from the word "fascio" and advocates the creation of a nation that runs similar to a corporate setup. However, their belief regarding the state eliminates all form of similarity: communism denies the state while fascism bows to the state as its supreme entity. There is also the case of their political spectrum as fascism incorporates both ...
