The United States of America has a storied and complex history. Because the beginnings of our nation transpired with rebellion, there is much controversy about when our nation actually became a nation. Many believe that it was the formal acknowledgement of our sovereignty by the nation that governed us, Great Britain. But the true answer is that our nation actually became a nation shortly thereafter, when the Articles of the Confederation were adopted and ratified by the colonies in 1777. The ratification of the Articles of the Confederation marked the first founding constitution of our country. Up until that ...

The last year was marked by the unexpected results of referendum held in the UK, where citizens had to decide whether the country should leave or stay in the European Union. Obviously, many experts had been skeptical and the results, with 52 % voted for the exit, were, with no doubt, shocking both for the EU and the entire world.

However, the reasons the ...

It is important to note that the main reason for the emergence of this ...

Constitutional guidelines which are embedded in the common law involve specific civil rights, like the right to freedom of expression, including the Governor-General's specific powers and the majority rule in the parliament system (Gearey, Morrison, & Jago, 2013).

Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Wife of Bath’s tale and her prologue are deemed by many to be some of the best parts of The Canterbury Tales. The story vividly describes the role of a woman in the Middle Ages through the character of Alison. However, her position does not seem to be very typical for that period of time, as she believed her experience in marriage matters could dominate the male authority. This idea is constantly expressed with the help of the notion of woman’s “sovereignty” over her husband. In The Wife of Bath’s tale, the ...

It has always been the desire of independent nations to act as such: making their own decisions in accordance to their national interest and sovereignty. It is true that nationalism in this regard condones any form of external intervention and manipulation, especially if these actions can directly influence a nation’s political wellbeing. Such is the case between Cuba and the United States, whereby the history between these two nations during the past century is tainted with controversies concerning not only economic and military policies, but more so about displacing a duly-sworn leader who is deemed as perilous by ...

Throughout its history as an independent nation, the America has adopted both interventionist and isolationist policies. From its early years, America has largely stayed away from “Old World conflicts” (Office of the Historian par. 1). However, Woodrow Wilson argued for the US intervening in the First World War by mentioning that it would be in the best interest of the country if it became involved in the war since it will help in “maintaining a peaceful world order” (Office of the Historian par. 1). Nevertheless, the negative experiences of the First World War caused many ...

What is the miracle of Caedmon’s hymn? Consider the poem itself as well as Bede’s account of its genesis The miracle of Caedmon’s Hymn according to the Venerable Bede is that while Bede had always known Caedmon as a great poet of unmatched skill. He did not always possess such a talent. Bede contended that the gift of song that Caedmon had could have only come from God. The reason for this was so Caedmon could bring the people that come to listen to him away from evil. For much of Caedmon’s life he had ...

The absence of exclusive rights on the tribes’ territories, the consequences of the 1887 General Allotment Act, and the new harden policies that aimed to cause the rapid assimilation of Indians led to lack of food, health and education services, ...

It is easy as a student of history to ignore major development with Native American tribes after the end of the nineteenth century and the so-called “closing of the frontier.” This is seen by many as the end of an era and a time where the federal government had finally settled its policy regarding the status and treatment of this country’s many Native American tribes. Charles Wilkinson in Blood Struggle paints a completely different picture of how the relationship between the tribes and the US government developed through the course of the second half of the twentieth century. ...

Canadian French nationalism is a complex issue that has its roots in the settlement of the country by French explorers.

The eye of the storm is the province of Quebec where 81% of its people spoke French as opposed to the 90% of Canadians who spoke English in the rest of Canada during the early stages of the secessionist movement (Fenwick, 1981). The current Separatist movement has lost power and is no longer the threat to Canadian political and social stability it ...

Although the Spratly and Paracel Islands don’t look like much—they’re little more than outcroppings of rock in the South China Sea, after all—they are the subject of serious debate in the international community, and a number of countries are becoming exceptionally territorial over their claims to the islands. These islands are known by a number of different names, depending on the country; for the purposes of this discussion, and in the interests of relative clarity, the English name for these islands—the Spratly Islands—will be used exclusively in the text to refer to these ...

NATO’s military interventions in places such as Afghanistan and Syria have been crucial in restoring order in the world. With its revised rules that include global war on terrorism, and drug trafficking, it ...

Arrogance and ignorance may be called the twin causes of the American Revolution. Trace and discuss the ways in which the British lost their American colonies.

Colonies wanted to get rid of the taxes imposed by the British government. Despite all this, in the 60’s of the 18th century colonial oppression increased. ...

Imperialism

Imperialism is an act of extending dominion and power, through direct territorial acquisition or rather gaining economic and political control of other areas rather than your own.

Historically this form of governance was employed in China, in western Asia and Mediterranean, in the unending empire successions (The ...

Introduction

The international community widely upholds the position that maintenance of the proper implementation of human rights standards violates the principle of state sovereignty within the international law system. In reality, the concept of human rights is involved in the internal sphere of the regulation of the states to certain extent, while the scope of the interference is quite limited. With the development of the concept of human rights in the contemporary society during the 20th century, the position of the state in the international arena and its influence is linked to the proper realization of the obligations regarding the ...

Definition of Orientalism and How it is Problematic Orientalism is a way of comparing the differences of European, American and Arab cultures through exaggerating, emphasizing and distorting. According to Said, Orientalism considers Arab and African ways of life as uncivilized, precarious and out of the ordinary.

Abstract

While power is a secular affair these days, ethics and moral with their connection to religion seem related to what refers to activities associated with the governance of people and territories. Of course, neither of the two provides a comprehensive view of the complex notion of politics, yet both complement the concept with precious meaning. Thus, moral adds an important dimension revealing domestic politics as a set of activities prioritizing social welfare. Furthermore, the perception of governance through the prism of virtuous leaders, as done by ethics scholars, such as al-Farabi, allows people to perceive politics as a unique ...

One of the hallmarks of public life in the twenty-first century and especially since the rise of social media is in understanding how these developments have actively worked to change the way that not only people communicate with each other but how governments and institutions communicate with the people.

Globalization as a process has for the most part been a force which has weakened the power of national governments, has created real constrictions on ...

It seems difficult to analyze democratic transition from the standpoint of international dimension both theoretically and practically because not so much literatures that discuss about what the external environment actually is and how it might contribute to domestic change (Cavatorta 2005).

The struggle for independence is not a new topic in Europe as the region’s history depicts a myriad of conflicts that occurred for the sake of independence from monarchies and the desire for self-governance.

Sovereign Statehood Is A Modern Fiction That Has Been Universalized Through Imperialism And Decolonization. Critically Analyze This Statement Using Examples From More Than One Part Of The World

Introduction

Sovereignty in international relations is a concept that indicates that a state is constitutionally independent. In politics, a state is considered sovereign if it exists in a legal, absolute, and unitary condition where the state is equal to other states in international law and is not answerable to any other foreign state (Biersteker and Weber, 1996). A sovereign state has clearly defined borders within which people reside and the government of ...

A flag is a special representation and a Brandmark of a country. It plays an imperative function of uniting a nation. It is an important and emotionally connecting symbol that represents the sovereignty state of a nation to the world and to its bearers.

The idea of New Zealand flying a flag that bears the Union Flag as a component of its outline is a matter of concern particularly because the nation’s interests ...
