Essays on Sovereignty

Today, there is a broad consensus among policymakers and mainstream economists in developed countries and international institutions that a secure property rights regime (defined in terms of the transparency, impartiality, and competence of the judicial system) plays a critical role in economic development. Yet this view is a recent phenomenon; it is only in recent decades that the importance of property rights has entered the economic literature. Of course, throughout much of the early history of modern economics, the existence of private property rights was a presumption that underlay the work of leading economic thinkers. It is no wonder ...

Introduction

In America, Federalism came into practice when some states rejected the thought of a unitary government. Due to the large size of the country, the founding fathers allowed states to form powerful governments. State governments are used as a training ground or political labs for policing, where new ideas can be implemented and evaluated (El Camino College N.pag). In Federalism practicing states such as Florida, state government possesses the power of providing safety and public health, regulate interstate commerce, form government and conduct elections. However, Washington still carries the power of printing money, declaring war, establishing an army and ...

In 2008, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) unanimously adopted a resolution to protect Iraq’s assets from any international threats stemming from Saddam Hussein’s era (MacFarquhar, 1). Such assets included oil, Iraq’s main asset, and other revenues from the country’s international trade. Given the precarious state that the country was in at the moment, it was necessary for the country to receive such protection or else it could be hit by a humanitarian crisis. It is estimated that Iraq has 144 billion barrels of oil hence making oil account for approximately 90% of revenues (MacFarquhar, ...

Introduction

According to experts, the security threats of organized and transnational crime have existed for many years in Southeast Asia and have even increased over the years because of globalization. But despite the fact that organized and transnational criminal activity in Southeast Asia is rampant, little study has been done to fully understand this phenomenon. In a study submitted to the United States’ National Institute of Justice, for instance, it was observed that Southeast Asian countries have little awareness about organized and transnational crimes and its impact on their national security. Among their major findings is that “there is little ...

At the beginning of Percy’s work, he begins with a capturing introduction giving an idea of what the entire text would discuss (Percy 1). Percy introduces his work by indicating that every explorer names his desert, beautiful. This dimension of introduction provides readers or targeted audience with an idea that the story would be talking about exploration or issues ascribed to nature. He goes further and describes the discovery of the Grand Canyon indicating how the place was beautiful in the eyes of the explorer. This is an appropriate literary technique as it exposes readers to detailed information ...

Introduction While Canada is considered a relatively new country, much of its history can be traced to the end of the first ice age, 20 thousand years ago. At that time there was still an isthmus, which was a kind of bridge between Siberia and Alaska. Therefore land route generation of Siberian hunters-nomads moved slowly on American soil. This theory is supported by archaeological excavations in the basin of Old Crow in the Yukon, in which was found a set of tools that allows to date the initial period of migration is as described above. Thus, ...

What role did Paris and Chicago Conventions play in cultivating cooperation on the standardization of international air service regulation and operations? The sky above the ground did not interest the policymakers before the invention of air vehicles. The entrance of aircraft in the world consequently led to several issues that concerned the sovereignty of the space above the earth and the regulations of use of the airspace. Paris Convention of the year 1919 and Chicago Convention of the year 1944 set became the first major sets of regulations in terms of airspace. In the year 1919, several countries, among ...

The United States of America officially gained its independence in 1776. The new country needed to create own governing system. It was a difficult decision, because former colonies wanted to have the central government, but did not want to loose their sovereignty. These contradictions became a basis for the Articles of Confederation, which preceded the American Constitution of 1787. It restored main weaknesses of the Articles, but there were many arguments before all states accepted the new document. Constitution’s content stimulated the creation of political parties.

Strengths and Weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation

The Articles of Confederation were created with the great support of Whigs. ...

ANALYSIS OF ISLAMIC BOND (SUKUK) MARKET OF DUBAI AND MALAYSIA

Analysis of Islamic Bond (Sukuk) Market of Dubai and Malaysia Introduction As the business has expanded all across the world due to rise of internalisation or globalisation, it has become necessary that both the sources of equity and debt capital must be obtained for financing operational activities.

However, these conventional form of bond issuance require trading based on interest rates and are not backed by any security. Therefore, based on Islamic principles, a ...

Hegel's philosophy is the culmination of the German philosophy development, which began from Kant. Hegel created a grandiose philosophical system, which covered the whole totality of theoretical knowledge at that time. This philosopher comprehended the state and the right as products of reasonable human activities, which were embodied in real public institutions. Hegel's political doctrine had a tremendous impact on the development of political and legal thought. In his teaching, Hegel considered the idea of the state and law, assuming the task of the science of law and the state not the development of ideas about proper and reasonable ...

JT It’s true that human rights violations persist in spite of stringent legal safeguards. However, extension of the IHRL beyond the state risks placing the responsibility on a number of parties that cannot be pinned down, and therefore making enforcement impossible. It helps to note that the problem has never been the lack of technical legal protections for human rights; rather, the practical difficulties of enforcing such protections. Legal mechanisms such as the R2P for instance, have been ineffective, in part because countries pursuing their own interests (and loss of appetite by countries such as the US to ...

I. Introduction Since the formation of the state of Kosovo, there have been disputes about the legitimacy of the state—some do not recognize the international legitimacy of this state to the current day. Kosovo faces a number of issues that are inherited from its long history of conflict; one of the key problems faced by the country and the future leadership of the country is the problem of security. Because of the conflicted nature of the territory, Kosovo faces significant internal and external pressures (Alexander 14-19; Shaw and Štiks 91). The entire region is war-torn, and this conflict ...

In the Canterbury Tales, the Wife of Bath is a character designed to be more like the modern woman. Unlike what is expected of other women to behave at the time (which is to be submissive and obedient to their husbands, to have only one husband, to turn to nunnery when widowed, and to be virginal and pure), the Wife of Bath actively uses sex as a tool to get what she wishes. She demands complete sovereignty from her multiple husbands, and the freedom to do as she wishes in any aspect of her life. Geoffrey Chaucer designed the ...

Introduction

The Falkland War of 1982 was an undeclared war between the United Kingdom and Argentina and lasted for about ten weeks. The main reason for the fighting was because of two islands under British control that the Argentines insisted were supposed to be theirs since they were located only 300 miles from their coast (Ashton, 2018, 1). These islands were South Sandwich and the Falkland Islands. In response to the above prompt, the essay will look at the war in detail, both from the military perspective and diplomatically, to uncover why the war broke out and the liability that ...

Abstract

World War I was one of the worst modern warfare with regards to the amount of destruction it caused. Its impact was based on the use of advanced weapons able to cause massive damage, the involvement of a huge population in the war, huge investments, economic sabotage, and barbarity. Nevertheless, it helped to end the war, allow for negotiations, solve border conflicts, and establish the League of Nations to manage global peace. However, it failed to achieve permanent agreements and left different countries dissatisfied and ready to revenge on their adversaries. There was also antagonism between the negotiators due to ...

Intellectual property refers to the works or inventions that are as a result of creativity, including a manuscript or a design, to which one has exclusive rights or for which one may apply for a patent, trademark or copyright. If a person or organization registers their original works such as inventions, ideas, innovations, writings and artistic performances among many others, with the relevant government and they own the exclusive rights for a particular period of time, this is referred to as intellectual property.

Intellectual property has become a major issue in recent rounds of international trade negotiations because of a number of factors. One, the costs ...

The article, “Protests in Russia against Putin’s Actions in Ukraine a Shift in Attitudes” explains how demonstrators in the country argue the case for Ukrainian citizens. President Putin military forces have been leading a battalion that threatens the sovereignty of Ukraine.

The concept in this article illustrates is sovereignty that depicts the ability of a regime having an independent authority over a certain territory. A sovereign state must work for the betterment of the citizens (O’Neil, p.28). The article depicts sovereignty since the protestors speak on behalf of the Ukrainians and urge President Vladimir Putin as well as the ...

In modern times, the theory of natural rights and social contract had finally become exempt from its previous theological justification. At the same time it became the basis for a rational understanding of the society and the state. The adoption of social contract theory in legal thought creates an opportunity for the different political concepts to be revealed – in favor of the monarchy and against it (in favor of the society). Hugo Grotius, a prominent representative of the school of natural law in early modern times shared its general theory of the origin of the state contract. Grotius and Hobbes stood ...

Abstract

The United States was forming a system of government that had never been tried in a nation so large. The many Articles of Confederation and the Constitution represent the countries attempt to form a system of government true to ideas of the American Revolution. Although the Articles of Confederation had serious flaws that ultimately led to its doom, it was still an attempt to put in place the ideas of the American Revolution. The Constitution, from and ideological standpoint, was not entirely different. Many of the federal powers granted in the Articles of Confederation were the same powers granted in ...

As a way of promoting ethics among law enforcement agencies, there have been calls for body cameras to be fitted in the uniforms worn by law enforcement authorities especially the police. Body cameras are small pager cameras that are clipped on the uniform of the officer or worn as a headset (Williams, 2004). These body cameras record both video and audio of the law enforcement officer’s interaction with members of the public. The calls for the fitting of body cameras on all law enforcement officers has been prompted by increased incidences of police violence and brutality. For instance, ...

If God is Good, Why is there Evil?

The existence of evil and the problem brought by it to human society brought questions to people – including the church. There lies the question, “If God is good, why is there evil?” This issue of philosophy that relates God’s goodness and justice to the existence of evil and sufferings is identified as theodicy – a branch of theology. To polytheistic religions, this is explained by their teaching that evil things on earth are the results of conflicting desires of deities. To the monotheistic and the atheist, this issue takes God’s sovereignty into criticism. There are two ...

The article The Nation State and the Globalization of the Economy by Gritsch lay the foundation of the fundamental impact that globalization has on the sovereignty of the state. The emergence of an international organization such as the World Bank, European Union, and International Monitory Fund characterize the trajectory of global economies through regional integration. The debate raised in The Nation State and the Globalization of the Economy holds the view the relationship between the global economic, through the lens of Marxist theory and the functional theory of international organization, shapes the reduced ability and sovereignty of the state ...

The European Union can be considered today as one of the world’s most influential powers as it represents twenty-eight member states in major international and even regional affairs. Many member nations see the EU as the result of their desire to ensure European integration to keep peace in the region. Considering the membership of these European states to the regional organization, it is a question for member countries and non-member countries as to who is more influential or powerful: the EU or the member countries? For some experts, the member countries are more powerful than the EU because they ...

Introduction

The modern world is currently going through a revolutionary phase. This revolutionary phase has been characterised by a variety of changes that have been happening in many global sectors. To fully participate in this change, it is crucial that all members of the society effect changes in their own being. Having that in mind, different political, social, economic and cultural norms that govern the society should be constantly reviewed and restructured so as to ensure that they in pace with the changing world.

Puerto Rico is an isolated United States territory within the Latin America. It is located west of the United Stated Virgin lands. It is a former colony of Spain which dominated it for a very long period of time. It was delivered from the Spanish rule by intervention of the United States troops during the 1898 Hispano-cubano-americana war. Outside observers view Puerto Rico as a dependent state that does not have her sovereignty or autonomy. This country shares citizenship with the United States which accords her citizens freedom of movement and can cross this country’s borders.

Currently, outside political observers view ...

The passage “For if some rights remained with private individuals, in the absence of any common superior who could decide between them and the public, each person would eventually claim to be his own judge in all things, since he is on some points his own judge” from the political philosophic treatise On Social Contract; Or The Principles Of Political Right written by Jean Jacques Rousseau. The above quoted passage is a part of the 7th paragraph near the bottom of page 6, of “Chapter 6. The Social Compact” in the Book 1 of the philosophic treatise On ...

The Tribal Law and Order Act Of 2010 was enacted and signed to become a law by President Barack Obama in 29th July, 2010.

Introduction

John Austin is a renowned name in the field of jurisprudence. Etymologically, the word jurisprudence is formed from two words, ‘juris’ meaning law and ‘prudentia’ meaning prudence or knowledge (Anupom, 2011). Jurisprudence can, thus, be defined as the knowledge and science of law that is essential to ensure due justice to the people. Austin’s work was a remarkable start in the direction of the systematic legal system of modern age. Austin’s work emphasised that sanctions are important to ensure conformation to laws and the sovereign is the supreme authority that issues these laws. Austin’s description of ...

Whether to rely on Dicey’s doctrine is subjective as there are as many reasons against it just like reasons for. It is a mixture of behavior most likely in line to support the view that, “there is no good without harm”. Whatever the Diceys doctrines hold is as much fundamental to the current constitution. It is therefore important to evaluate the strength of this doctrine in regard to the prevailing circumstances.

AV Dicey just like other scholars like Erskine May played an important role in coming up with British general law. In particular Dicey in his book, An ...

Monopolistic markets are characterized by the absence of consumer choice, barriers to entry and exit, businesses exercising control over prices and government interventions. Market for public schools is monopolistic. This is because this market is highly regulated and controlled by the government. Running of public schools is almost entirely funded by the government using taxes paid by the residents. Each family is normally assigned a school where the children can learn depending on their home address. Although families can take their children to any private school, no family is allowed to take their children in a public school that is outside ...

This paper intends to use the outcome of this case to determine ...

Body Cameras and Police Policies

Abstract In the United States, significant attention has been placed on law enforcement use of body cameras. Police body cameras are small devices that are attached to the officer’s uniform or worn as a head piece that record police interaction with the public. Both supporters and opponents of the use of these cameras have cited several reasons for their stance and the issue remains controversial. This paper takes a deep look at this issue with particular focus on the importance and the role of police body worn cameras. Some of the major aspects that will be explored in the ...

Counterfactual History: What Ifs of the Gallipoli Campaign

Introduction Although counterfactual history is concerned with what didn’t happen, it acts as a manifestation of what did. Without a doubt, counterfactual history challenges the traditional academic ways of thinking with regards to risk management in the historical analysis. It explicitly inflates the range of plausible explanations by focusing on the number of possible outcomes. In doing so, there is a threat that a multiplicity of chaotic perspectives, each facilitated by chance and contingency might open up. In the case of the Gallipoli Campaign, the following questions may be asked if the Ottomans did not win at Gallipoli:

Would the Republic of Turkey still have been established?

Would the Russian ...

Human rights are not only inalienable, but also universal. The failure of the international community to intervene has resulted in the brutal violations of these rights in multiple states, perhaps best underscored by the on-going conflict and humanitarian crisis in Darfur (United Nations 1; UNICEF 1). Against the background of the Darfur crisis, this paper sets forth the international norms/law on humanitarian intervention, as well as uses international relations theories to determine the legitimacy of intervention in Darfur. It asserts that genocide and other grave (and widespread) crimes against humanity in the region are extreme injustices that threaten humanity ...

Dicey was an incredibly important figure in the development of the Rule of Law in contemporary Britain. The Rule of Law, in a modern context, has been developed through many different societies; however, the liberal understanding of the role of government and law in British society today is very much the result of Dicey’s philosophical input. Dicey suggested that individuals cannot be punished in any way unless they have committed some sort of transgression against a law that has been established by the rightful government and Courts in the realm. Dicey also suggested that an important characteristic of the Rule ...

In order to compare and contrast both documents, it is important to discuss how the nullification crisis demonstrates a growing sectionalism between the North and the South. The disparities between the viewpoints of these opposing groups can be understood through the way in which these documents are drafted and the language that has been incorporated into them. These two documents demonstrate the fundamentally differing ideologies that the two parts of the nation had in regards to nullification. The position that each side had, and their essentially opposing viewpoints is represented within these documents. The South Carolina Ordinance of Nullification ...

Horizontal federalism refers to the relationships and interactions between states as equal members of the union. Under Article IV of the Constitution states are required provide “full faith and credit” to the laws of other states as well as guarantee the citizens of each state the “privileges and immunities” enjoy by the citizens of other states. Moreover, the Tenth Amendment states that states “may exercise powers not delegated to the federal government. Despite, these understandings, horizontal federalism is one of the more unclear areas of American political authority (Erbsen, 2008). Based on the arguments from the petitioner in ...

Part A – Question 3

Given what we now know about the religious and intellectual foundations of colonialism, what might be some of the characteristics of ‘post-colonial’ thought and do you think that we are there yet? When thinking about post-colonial thought, it is absolutely necessary that we understand the various attributes of colonial thought in the first place. Colonial thought is best represented by figures like Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who wrote about “The Noble Savage,” and created these inherent intellectual foundations for colonialism (Rousseau 20). These perspectives, in which peoples from less developed and Westernized civilizations were patronizingly referred to as ‘noble,’ while ...

Difference between Legislative, Executive and Judicial Branch of Government

In 1777, the colonies adopted the Articles of Confederation – a document that served as the first constitution of the United States (Ginsberg et al 34). The adoption of such a constitution was important to the colonies, which included New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, to hold them together as one nation-state. The Articles is divided into 13 articles, including a provision that described the relationship of the states as a “league of friendship” (Article III, Articles of Confederation). The implication of such wording is that ...

King clearly prefers the Aboriginal history of creation. It is not merely because she relishes the presentation of these stories in contrast to the Western version of Adam and Eve’s fall from grace. In her mind, once dissected, these stories illustrate the vast gulf between the Western concepts of sovereignty and individual rights and the Aboriginal notions of these very same ideas. King feels the very fabric of and the parables espoused in these stories illustrate how the Western ideal of is of a much stronger, centralized body of governance where people are punished accordingly if they do not ...

Introduction

Introduction

China is the most populous country in the world. It is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. The population of this country is also growing at a steady rate. As a result, the demand for food in the country is growing with time. One of the reasons why the demand for food in China grows with time is the steady growth in the economy. As people’s purchasing power in the country increases, their eating habits change thus causing them to demand different varieties of food. Food security is important to a country’s growth and sustainability. Food security ...

Introduction

A social movement is a form of group action. In most cases, social movements tend to be informal and large. The groupings of organizations or individuals have a tendency to focus on a given social or political issue. Because of this, they are essentially tasked with undoing, carrying out or resisting social change. The social movements of the modern times are as a result of education. They are also facilitated by the mobility of labor that has increased because of the urbanization and industrialization of the societies in the 19th century. There are several social movements in the world, in which Social Movement ...

Critical Thinking Paper: ENVI-423-003 Geography of Middle East

Three issues that have served as effective learning supplements in Geography of Middle East class include the following: the relationship between Saudi Arabia and Israel, continuing troubles in Iraq in the post-War on Terror era and the effects of high concentration of funds to Jewish organizations in the United States (US). The foregoing issues provide significant impacts on understanding the nature of Middle Eastern politics better, given the complicated interests of nations therein and their volatile status towards one another, the US and its allies. Key to understanding the complicated nature of Middle Eastern politics is the divisiveness brought ...

Belief is defined as a psychological condition whereby a person holds a thought to be true (Collins, Randall 34-36). There are different types of belief including religious ones which are thought to be trusted in the supernatural being. With structures of belief, there are other topics related to it and each of the worldviews has different approaches when it comes to dealing with beliefs. Mankind’s creation in the image of God is believed by many but in the study of sociology this belief concentrates on the primary social institutions of humans. This essay aims at using sociological views in explaining how ...

Question one

Ukraine is the second largest country in Europe. Has a wide land that is extremely fertile on its plains, and exclusive industrial parks in the east. The independence of Ukraine is marked by the fall of the Soviet Union that occurred in 1991 since the country became independent immediately after the fall of the union. Since then the country has been looking for exclusive amalgamation with the Western Europe, as well as resolution with Russia (Marten, 2014). Although, Ukraine shares historical origins with Ukraine, the west of the country has remained closely tied to the European neighbors, mainly Poland where ...

What can the first and second theorems of welfare economics teach us about economic policy?

What is economic policy? Economic policy refers to those actions that a government undertakes in order to influence its economy. These Economic actions include regulation of interest rates through Federal Reserve, regulation of the government expenditure, implementing rights of private property, and laving tax rates. Welfare Economics is the method of systematically evaluating economic implications in the alternative resource allocated. Welfare economics deals with weather the sources allocated are efficient and who is going to lose or gain by how much in various allocations (Mark Blaug, 2007).

The German reunification was preceded by a deep social, economic and political crises in the GDR, which had been developing for the last 4 years before 1990 and led to a rapid pace of uniting East and West Germany during one year, from October 1989 to October 1990, when on the political map of Europe, a new joint Germany with 78 million population emerged. Difficulties of the unification process revealed very soon after the fall of the Berlin Wall, as well as the political, economic, social and psychological differences of East and West Germany, which proved to be more persistent than ...

The enlightenment would introduce a new system of government and the most important one was sovereignty. The people had every reason to support enlightenment because it brought changes to their political culture. The sovereignty came to the citizens, and it brought equality that did not exist. People did not have businesses that were honorable and did not have the opportunity to own land (Outram, pg.137). During this age, enlightenment thinks endorsed ideas of natural law and progress in all their dealings. The people began to question their governments and leaders. They realized the oppression that the government was imposing upon ...

The period during which John Calvin lived and influenced his followers was 16th century France – the height of the Protestant Reformation. During this time, Martin Luther and other radical thinkers chose to break away from the Catholic Church due to differences in interpretation of Christian dogma, including the healing power of indulgences (which were believed to simply be an effective bribe for the Catholic Church to achieve absolution). Independent of the development of the Protestant Church, however, was John Calvin’s work to create a system of ideology which would be called Calvinism. Because of his radical ideas, and the ...

There can never be two centers of power; the buck must stop somewhere. This saying is true in the case of state right’s and the union. In order to understand this phenomenon, it is important to look back in time to the period when the union was conceived. U.S. founding fathers deliberately divided sovereignty between the states and the federal government. The vision was that the national and devolved units of government would work together harmoniously. However, this was the recipe for a subsequent power struggles in the succeeding years. The battle lines were drawn. On one side, some ...
