It is very interesting to compare and contrast a new from an old democracy. France has been exercising its electoral process since 1958 as it heralded Fifth Republic (France Country Website, p. 1). The French Republican President has been the pillar of its political traditions and institutions. Meanwhile, the 2012 presidential elections in Russia marked the first electoral process after its long entanglement with a non democratic form of government, socialism. Hence, the beginnings and the common prints of institutionalizing the elections are vivid. The contrasts are also intriguing, how a new democratic system shall spring out of the Continue reading...

The First World War was, without a doubt, one of mankind’s most wide-reaching and horrific conflicts in human history. Its legacy includes expanding the scope of warfare over several continents and disrupting the delicate balance of power that had existed in Europe for hundreds of years.

Chapter 25
The Ottoman Empire dominated the Middle East and North Africa during a period between 1500 and 1700, prior and following which its territorial domains were much smaller.
Vienna has long been considered by the Ottoman Empire as a highly strategic point of trade due to its access to the northern, southern, eastern and western parts of Europe, hence its strong desire to occupy it. The Austrians, under the Holy Roman Empire, were assisted by the German States and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Just as any other energy resources play a pivotal role as means of economic development, negotiations, and political pressure, so too does oil; still, when the price for Golden Gold plummets for a number of economic and political reasons, its versatile role becomes marginal. Some countries stand to lose following the decrease while others are in line for a windfall. Venezuela and Russia, countries with extraction economies, known for the paradox of plenty or resource curse, suffer the most, as do transit countries receiving profits for having oil transferred through their territory. Extraction economies are dependent on oil revenues, Continue reading...

Austria-Hungary declared war against Serbia on 28 July, 1914 with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, in Bosnia along with his wife by a Serbian nationalist. However, this apparently small conflict between the two nations spread like wild fire soon.

Within a few weeks, the conflict spread around the world and all the major powers joined the war. The two major opposing war alliances Continue reading...

Stalin’s Industrialization
The main task of the entered planned economy was increasing economic and military power of the state the highest possible rate. At the initial stage, it came down to a redistribution of the maximum possible volume of resources for industrialization. In December 1927 at the XV Congress of the CPSU (b) adopted "Guidelines for the compilation of the first five-year economic development plan of the USSR", in which the Congress opposed the super-industrialization: the growth rate should not be maximized, and should be planned so that there is no failures.

Ancient Russian people considered an aesthetic criterion for their choice of faith: they were, above all struck by the beauty of the Byzantine church ceremony, the beauty of life, the church and singing. Kievan Prince Vladimir thought about the need to take some monotheistic religion and inherently strengthen the power of the state. This was all the more necessary because such religions were adopted in the states around him. Vladimir was also looking for a religion capable of supporting state power. It was a powerful religious nation waging a successful policy in the East and in the West and Continue reading...

Summary

This report will walk you through the presentation of Ford Motor Company, the famous US car manufacturer. The first part of the report presents brief business overview and presentation of the company. The report also includes a discussion of recent news as well as a full financial statements analysis and ratio analysis.

After reviewing the business, I would not invest in a company like Ford for the following reasons:

Difficult industry with high fixed costs and high cyclicality: in essence business revenues are very volatile.

A unjustified valuation at a premium to peers, which is not rational given the Continue reading...

The Russian Revolution in 1905 largely failed because of the nature of the war it had spawned from as well as the degree of defeat (Skocpol 94). This revolution began during the Russo-Japanese war in 1904, which Russia had lost in a humiliating fashion. For generations, problems festered in Russia as a result of the state’s failure to adjust to the demands of a newly industrializing nation. As a result, labor pushed for unionism despite the fact that unions were illegal (Campling). This social revolution involved various classes within Russian society, and it gained much traction during and Continue reading...

The James Bond film series, ever since its debut with Dr. No in 1962, has maintained a strong status as one of the longest-running action-adventure film franchises in film history. With 23 official films in the series running from 1962 to 2012, the 52-year-old series has combined vicarious jet-setting thrills with a handsome lead star, stunning action, innovative production design, and gorgeous women. However, taking a look at a cross-section of the James Bond films from their beginning to their most current iterations, it is clear that their success also stems from a reflection of the historical and cultural Continue reading...

Background

Because the Antarctic region of the Southern Ocean has long been over-exploited by man, urgent action may be necessary to protect the future of its wildlife - much of which is unique. In the past, seals and whales were formerly hunted almost to the point of extinction. This has led to growing concern that commercial exploitation of existing fish stocks could bring about serious damage. (Owen, 2003).

Considerations

Increased catches of krill and of fish in the Southern Ocean could cause a catastrophic collapse of the marine ecosystem of that ocean (Owen, 2003).
The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Continue reading...

In “The Ransacked Grave Mound” Shevchenko tries to reflect the reality that was right in front of his eyes. In the poem we can see his motherland, Ukraine, personified and shown as a loving mother but drawn into despair. The poem begins with rhetorical questions to Ukraine. The author cannot understand why she has to pay such a high price without doing anything wrong. He asks maybe she did not pray to God that he punished her to bear such a fate or did not teach her children of customs that were so important and valued. The motherland replies Continue reading...

Terrorism, as a violent act of aggression has always served the purpose of sending a message, whether political or religious. Superpowers would often advance their economic and political interests in the land of another. These were most often political lightweights that were easy to come under the influence of a superior country, with political elites being autocratic and corrupt. However, there often emerges a group of people that will not sit apathetically watching their cultural values replaced with foreign analogues, foreign troops stationed in their native lands, and national interests subordinated to the agenda of other countries.

Explain the three major reasons why World War 1 started

World War I, did not start abruptly, in fact, it was a combination of many factors.

In a recent article in The Economist, “Cheaper Oil: Winners and Losers”, the rapid fall of the price of oil is predicted to help the enormous economies of the U.S. and China, but hurt oil-exporting countries like Russia and Venezuela, and have very little benefit for most of the world who live in poverty (“Winners and Losers”, 2014). In the last six months, oil prices have plummeted, sending shockwaves throughout petroleum producing countries (EIA, 2015). The U.S. has seen the price of a gallon of gas cut in half and the countries that rely primarily on oil exports are Continue reading...

“An Ordinary Soldier on Campaign with Napoleon (1812)”

Russian Campaign of 1812, German conscript Jakob Walter observed: "[His] outward manner seemed indifferent and unconcerned over his soldier's wretchedness. He may have felt only ambition and lost his honor in his heart. Although the French and Allies shouted oaths and curses about his guilty person, he heard them unmoved." This mutual sense of apathy permeates Jakob Walter's Diary of a Napoleonic Foot Soldier, a memoir written by a German conscript in Napoleon's Grand Army that details the arduous marches undertaken by Napoleon's army in Prussia, Poland and ultimately Russia. While Continue reading...

I. Introduction
When the U.S. and China normalized relationships 35 years ago, it could be argued that neither side thought it was a relationship of equals. The U.S. was a superpower and China was in the beginning stages of extricating itself from nearly a decade of isolation following the Cultural Revolution and the death of Mao Zedong. Over the last three decades, however, Chinese development has flourished at a hyperactive pace. That development was powered by a shift in priorities in the late 1970s from one that mainly focused on mass mobilization, political indoctrination and absolute loyalty to Communist Continue reading...

The idea of revolution has taken on different meanings throughout the course of history. In the centuries before the 1500s, revolution was merely a term used to refer to the astronomical cycle. This definition was used in a slightly different sense during the period of the English upheavals in 1640 until 1688, wherein it was meant to refer to fundamental political changes but still maintaned its original sense of cycling back to its previous state of affairs. However, during the French Revolution, the term revolution came to mean a fundamental and innovative change in the country’s social and Continue reading...

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, commonly known as NASA, was started in 1958, partly in response to the Soviet Union’s aeronautic achievements (NASA, 2014).

In the wake of World War II, the world was beset with two new and significant threats – the threat of Communist Russia (in keeping with the start of the Cold War) and the newfound terror of nuclear power and the atomic bomb. Given the world-destroying power that the A-bomb visibly inflicted on the people of Japan in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as well as the impending threat of socialism on the newly-minted capitalistic superpower of the United States, the early 1950s was a time of great tension and apocalyptic fervor for both West and East alike.

Introduction

Japan has been quite isolated from foreign threat since its establishment as a nation. According to historians, one of the major factors why Japan has not experienced large scale foreign interaction was due to the natural barriers that separate the country from its nearby regions and the scanty natural resources that the nation can offer. The only nation to have close contact with Japan during its early years was China and most of Japanese culture is somehow influenced by the Chinese. However, during the early part of the 16th century, Japan had increasing contact with the Europeans especially the Continue reading...

Structural Realism, a reformulated version of Morgenthau’s realist theory explains how the architecture of the international system makes states pursue power for their survival and protection. The theory states that states crave power to protect themselves from external threat and ultimately survive but there is a division among structural theorists about how much power a state needs. Defensive realist theorists like Kenneth Waltz opine that states should not maximize their power as the system will punish them but offensive realist theories state that it makes good strategic sense for states to purse ultimate power and if possible they Continue reading...

Is comparative politics a science? Why is it so difficult to create a science of comparative politics?

Compare and contrast have long been used for reflection and analysis not only of everyday life, but also politicians, as well as social phenomena in general.
A comparison is no less ancient than the human mind itself. It allows you to see analogies or contrasts between various phenomena in politics and beyond. Comparing and contrasting in ancient times was used by philosophers and historians. For example, in "Politics" Aristotle devoted much attention to the classification of different types of polity.
We can specificity the subject of comparative politics. On the one hand, comparative politics examines all that is within Continue reading...

Play One: Fences

Fences was written by August Wilson and studies the difficulties of one black man’s life in the 1950s, as he struggles to overcome prejudice and simply work though the same day to day issues as any other American Man.
Symbolism, or hidden symbols in the play are quite possibly the most interesting single element of the writer’s work. The playwright wanted to play on both the idea of the North versus the South and the idea of the American dream. Perhaps first and foremost, he introduces the idea of the North versus the South in giving Troy’ Continue reading...

The emergence of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has raised multiple new issues in the fight against religious extremism and terrorism.

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: A SUPER POWER OR NOT

The biggest super powers in the world including the United States, China, United Kingdom, France etc. hold a lot of influence over the other countries in the world.
