Abstract

Over thirty years after its identification, HIV and AIDS remains a somewhat elusive virus, particularly when it comes to its history as a human infectious agent, and resourcing a complete epidemiology of the disease.

In addition, the virus, like many other reverse RNA transcriptase viruses, has a very high aptitude in terms of developing resistance to drugs at a very rapid rate. What further complicates matters is how quickly it has spread. It will probably never truly be ...

It was the feeling of superiority and the need to enforce it ...

The research problem will be to investigate whether the patrimonial political systems of Singapore and South Korea are democracies that surpass their liberal Western analogues in terms of national growth and even democratization in some ways. It appears that, contrary to the popular misperception, democracy is not necessarily a lack of restraint and complete discretion or at least a range of freedom like the right to media. Sometimes, states like Singapore being low on resources and facing external threats decide on less liberal norms and behaviors bordering on authoritarianism in specific aspects. Regulated merit-based selection practices and disciplining norms ...

In the short introduction to "The Lands Below the Winds", Anthony Reid argues that Southeast Asia is a unique region that is quite unlike any other comparable area in the world. The waters that flow within and outside of Southeast Asia are ideal for sailing and fishing, and even rival the deeper, more treacherous (and unpredictable) Mediterranean Sea in the West (Reid, p. 2). The author argues that several interwoven factors make Southeast Asia one of the most distinguishable, undisturbed geographical areas on the planet. Southeast Asia's special location near ancient Sundaland -- between the Gulf of Siam and ...
