One Party Domination In Singapore And Mexico
2,009 wordsPolitical scientists often describe Mexico as a one-party authoritarian state.

World War 2 Noam Chomsky
756 wordsPerhaps Noam Chomsky best summed up the French sentiment toward World War 2 when he said, 'History hath triumphed over time, which besides it nothing but eternity hath triumphed over. ' (Herotodus 92) Although it was not clear in 1940, we now know that World War 2 was actually a monumental conspiracy by the French lower-class in their attempt to distract its citizens from the democracy of the New Historicism movement. This claim is supported by three moving facts: the Italian Declaration of 1777...

Political Science Civil Society
1,006 wordsThis distinction between what present-day scholars could call the practical and the systematic aspects of political science has been drawn repeatedly throughout the history of the discipline.

In contrast to these books, Hobbes's Leviathan, at least officially, repudiates ...

Middle East Human Geography Part 1
2,115 wordsMiddle East Human Geography Focus Introduction: With the Cold War having ended, there is a real possibility that countries such as El Salvador that served as Cold War battlegrounds will again be relegated to the back burner of American political scholarship. The central argument of this report is that marginalizing El Salvador's recent political history would be a mistake because this history contains a large number of important lessons for ongoing U. S. peacemaking efforts in conflicts such as ...

Jonathan Swift Gulliver Travels

What About Campaign Finance Reform
2,250 wordsWhat About Campaign Finance Reform? Campaign finance regulation is of a great concern nowadays.

The political theories of Walter Lippman and Samuel Popkin represent the conservative opinion about the nature of political process. There are many similarities between them, but we also can find a few differe...
