Class 4 slides (1)
This class covers the New Deal and its impact on cities and urban politics in the United States. It discusses how the Great Depression disproportionately impacted cities and caused urban voters to support the Democratic New Deal coalition. The New Deal established many new federal programs and agencies that helped revive the economy and supported cities, including public works projects, social security, and public housing programs. This transformed the relationship between cities and the federal government and caused cities to gain more influence over national politics by forming permanent lobbying groups in Washington D.C. to advocate for urban priorities and programs.
Decline And Fall Of The Anglo Saxon Celtic Nations
The document summarizes a prophecy about the decline and fall of Anglo-Saxon-Celtic nations. It predicts that a United States of Europe will emerge, led by Germany and dominated by Nazis working underground since WWII. This 10-nation alliance will surprise the world with its military might but also have internal weaknesses. The prophecy warns that unless God intervenes, humanity will destroy itself through misused technology and push towards utopia without relying on God's teachings. It claims these events were foretold in the Bible and will shake the world order before Jesus Christ returns to intervene and usher in a godly world of peace.
Politics of Lebanon
The document provides background information on the politics of Lebanon. It summarizes that Lebanon has a parliamentary democratic republic system with power shared among religious groups. Elections are held every four years for parliament and every six years for president. The prime minister is chosen by the president and parliament. Major political figures currently include Tammam Salam as acting president and prime minister. Nabih Berri has served as speaker of parliament since 1992. The judicial branch consists of courts and a constitutional council. Lebanon is divided into six governorates for administration.
Lebanon
The Taif Agreement was a peace agreement signed in 1989 in Taif, Saudi Arabia to end Lebanon's 15-year civil war. It established a power-sharing agreement between Lebanese Christians and Muslims that reduced the political influence of Christians and increased that of Muslims. It also granted Syria influence over Lebanon's political affairs. While the agreement brought a formal end to the civil war, it failed to resolve Lebanon's underlying sectarian divisions and led to ongoing Syrian domination over Lebanese politics for many years.
2006 Lebanon War Ii
The Israeli Perspective of the 2006 War in Lebanon. This presentation was first presented at an event that took place in October 2006, at Florida State University in Tallahassee, where Israelis and Lebanese met to tell their story of the 2006 War.
Israel-Lebanon Conflict
The Israel-Lebanon conflict has its roots in the broader Arab-Israeli conflict over the territory of Palestine. After Israel's founding in 1948, Palestinian guerrilla groups launched attacks from bases in neighboring Lebanon, leading to frequent Israeli retaliatory raids. The influx of Palestinian refugees also upset Lebanon's sectarian balance, contributing to a civil war. Israel launched major invasions of Lebanon in 1978 and 1982 to drive out the Palestine Liberation Organization. Hostilities continued with Hezbollah, including Israel's 2006 bombing campaign in response to Hezbollah attacks and kidnappings. After over a month of fighting, a UN ceasefire was agreed to end the latest conflict.
Capstone Paper
Lebanon has faced constant conflicts throughout its history that have shaped the country. The 16-year civil war from 1975-1990 destroyed Lebanon's economy and infrastructure and left deep sectarian divisions between religious groups. More recently, conflicts including Israel's 2006 invasion and clashes in 2007 between the Lebanese Armed Forces and an extremist group have continued the pattern of violence and its impacts on Lebanese civilians and politics. Despite challenges, Lebanon has also seen successes like the 2005 Cedar Revolution that forced Syrian troops to withdraw and its election of a unifying president in 2008.

This dissertation examines post-war peacebuilding in Lebanon through an analysis of local communities' roles. The document provides background on Lebanon's civil war from 1975-1990 and the political divisions it created. It then outlines Roger Mac Ginty's theory of "everyday peace" and local participation in peacebuilding. The dissertation will analyze how Lebanese communities contributed to social reconstruction, infrastructure rebuilding, and a culture of peace after the war, establishing an example of grassroots peacebuilding despite the absence of a formal peace process. It seeks to argue that Lebanon has achieved a state of "everyday peace" through local efforts, contradicting claims that the country remains unstable.

This document provides an overview of the political and legal systems in Lebanon and how they impact the potential market for passive housing. Some key points:
1) Lebanon has a contentious political history due to its diverse population and location between Western and Eastern influences. This has led to instability.
2) The legal system is viable but political instability, an influx of Syrian refugees, and religious divisions raise questions about investing in passive housing.
3) Passive housing has benefits like reduced energy costs but may be difficult to adopt in Lebanon given capital constraints and lack of supply chains to support it. Foreign developers working with the public and private sectors could help promote it.
Impact Of The Past Nigeria
Nigeria gained independence from Britain in 1960 and has experienced significant political instability since, including several military coups and a civil war. It is a federal republic located in West Africa with over 250 ethnic groups and a population of over 135 million people who are roughly split between Christianity and Islam. Nigeria has substantial oil and gas resources but has struggled with corruption, poverty, and ethnic/religious tensions that have prevented effective governance and economic development.

Urbanization and Race
Suburbanization in the United States greatly accelerated after World War II due to several factors: (1) the Federal Highway Act of 1956 funded the construction of an extensive interstate highway system, increasing accessibility to suburban areas; (2) large-scale developers mass-produced affordable single-family homes on cheap land in the suburbs; and (3) social trends like the postwar baby boom and preference for the suburban lifestyle drove demand for suburban housing. Transportation infrastructure and housing policies were the primary drivers of suburban growth in this period.

Post-War America, 1945-1972
Introduction
"America bestrides the world like a colossus," wrote the British politician and
historian Harold Laski in 1947. At the time, Europe and Asia were still digging
themselves out from the rubble of World War II. By contrast, the United States
mainland had been spared the war's carnage, and its factories had roused
themselves from their Great Depression slumber to churn out the weapons of war
that propelled the Allies to victory. America thus entered the post-World War II
era, according to Laski, possessing "half the world's wealth" and "more than half
the world's productive capacity."
This global economic preeminence would help usher in a period of economic
expansion--or "golden age of capitalism"--that would persist for much of the
quarter century following World War II. The long economic boom, in turn, helped
underwrite contemporaneous struggles for economic, racial, and gender equality
in American life. Never had any of America's previous rising tides lifted so many ...
Indochina
The North Vietnamese launched the Tet Offensive in January 1968, attacking cities across South Vietnam in an attempt to spark uprising. Although the offensive was a military failure that inflicted heavy losses, it undermined the U.S. public's confidence in the war by showing the vulnerability of U.S. forces. This psychological victory for North Vietnam gave momentum to growing anti-war protests in the U.S. and prompted questions about the relevance of continued American involvement in the war.

The Construction of Libya
Since 2011, the Arab countries have experienced big changes, and the governance of these countries are facing unprecedented risks. The president of Tunisian Ben Ali fled from Saudi Arabia, which led to the actual collapse of his regime. The president of Egyptian Mubarak designated in the voice of public protests. Gaddafi’s regime in Libya fell under the guise of both NATO and the domestic political opposition, while Gaddafi died. The president of Yemeni Saleh was forced to resign and took refuge in other countries. Syria governed under the Baath Party is still walking on thin ice, facing an uncertain future. The change experienced by the Arab world now is the third wave of political system reform since the nationalism in the 1950s and the Islamic revivalism in the 1980s. Because of its strong impact, magnitude of the changes and the wide range of influences, it’s deemed as another major political change as serious as the collapse of the former Soviet Union and tremendous change to East Europe, which led to the end of the Cold War, while this change caused the “chain collapse” of the power system in Arab countries and dragged the Arab countries into violent turmoil. This change has attracted great attention from international academic circles. Scholars discussed the origins of this political change from various perspectives in depth. Most of them believe that the occurrence of this change is the comprehensive result of both internal and external factors. The internal cause is the decay of the political development in these countries (especially authoritarianism, family politics, and old-age politics), stagnant economic development and the transmission of new media on the Internet. External factors are the aftermath of European and American countries’ intervention and the “Democratization of the Greater Middle East” in the United States, even climate change may be one of the factors. However, Rome is not build in one day. The root cause of this change is the problem of national construction that has plagued the Arab countries to this day.
Judging from the historical process of modern times, the construction of modern countries is mainly the construction of nation-states. However, there is a difference between the construction of the country and the construction of the nation. The former is to construct a concrete and real political community, and there is external force intervention such as the great powers and the United Nations. The latter is a community of imaginations with similar historical memories and cultural symbols, although it is Constructed but external forces are difficult to intervene.
In Habermas's view, state-building refers to a nation composed of citizens, and nation-building refers to a nation composed of people. The coincidence of the two conceptions is the ideal national state construction, and the alienation between the two will lead to the tension of citizenship and national identity. In additi.
American golden age 1945 1960
The postwar period from 1945-1960 saw significant economic growth and social changes in America. There was a boom in suburban living and consumerism driven by increased incomes and availability of credit. However, prosperity was uneven as 25% still lived in poverty. Tensions remained from the Cold War and nuclear arms race. Desegregation progressed slowly despite the 1954 Brown v. Board ruling, as seen by resistance in Little Rock in 1957. A growing counterculture emerged among youth in response to conformity during this period of political, economic and social upheaval.

The modern State of Israel was established in 1948 for several historical reasons: the longstanding Jewish religious connection to the land of Israel, the Holocaust in Europe which killed millions of Jews, the rise of anti-Semitism and persecution of Jews in Europe, and the Zionist movement which advocated for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine.

The document discusses the historical background and causes of the ethnic conflict in Yugoslavia that led to its civil war and dissolution in the 1990s. Key points included the region being controlled by various empires for centuries, the creation of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes after WWI, and tensions between nationalist groups. After WWII, Yugoslavia was formed as a federation of six republics under communist rule led by Tito, but economic and ethnic tensions increased after his death, fueling nationalist sentiments and ultimately war as the republics declared independence.
Decolonization process.ppt
The decolonization process occurred globally from the mid-20th century as European colonial powers granted independence to their colonies. Key factors driving decolonization included the weakening of European powers after World War II, the rise of nationalist independence movements, and pressure from the USSR and USA against colonialism. Decolonization happened through negotiated settlements, wars of independence, or incomplete transitions, and resulted in new challenges for the post-colonial nations.
Palestine Mid Term Essay
The document analyzes why Palestinians failed to achieve statehood in 1948. It argues that the Zionist militias' advantage over fragile Palestinian and Arab factions was the primary reason. The militias grew from ill-equipped groups in the 1920s to powerful forces by 1948 that conquered Arab cities and displaced Palestinians. Meanwhile, international actors like Britain and Transjordan took ambiguous stances or were complicit in advancing Zionism. While Jewish immigration and investment strengthened the Zionist project, the militias' campaigns most directly undermined Palestinian statehood and self-determination by the time of the 1947 UN partition plan.
Modern Jewish History
Modern Jewish Zionism began in the late 1800s/early 1900s as Jews sought to escape antisemitism in Europe and reestablish a homeland in Palestine, the historic land of the Jewish people. Political Zionists established organizations to purchase land in Palestine and promote Hebrew as the national language. As nationalist sentiments grew in the Arab world during this time as well, tensions rose between Zionist ambitions and Arab self-rule. After World War I and the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, Britain took control of Palestine and struggled to balance Arab and Jewish interests, fueling further conflict between the communities. The Holocaust intensified Jewish support for Zionism and statehood. Israel declared independence in 1948, leading surrounding Arab states to declare war in opposition

Because of its strong impact, magnitude of the changes and the wide range of influences, it’s deemed as another major political change as serious as the collapse of the former Soviet Union and tremendous change to East Europe, which led to the end of the Cold War, while this change caused the “chain collapse” of the power system in Arab countries and dragged the Arab countries into violent turmoil. This change has attracted great attention from international academic circles. Scholars discussed the origins of this political change from various perspectives in depth. Most of them believe that the occurrence of this change is the comprehensive result of both internal and external factors. The internal cause is the decay of the political development in these countries (especially authoritarianism, family politics, and old-age politics), stagnant economic development and the transmission of new media on the Internet. External factors are the aftermath of European and American countries’ intervention and the “Democratization of the Greater Middle East” in the United States, even climate change may be one of the factors. However, Rome is not build in one day. The root cause of this change is the problem of national construction that has plagued the Arab countries to this day.
Judging from the historical process of modern times, the construction of modern countries is mainly the construction of nation-states. However, there is a difference between the construction of the country and the construction of the nation. The former is to construct a concrete and real political community, and there is external force intervention such as the great powers and the United Nations. The latter is a community of imaginations with similar historical memories and cultural symbols, although it is Constructed but external forces are difficult to intervene.
In Habermas's view, state-building refers to a nation composed of citizens, and nation-building refers to a nation composed of people. The coincidence of the two conceptions is the ideal national state construction, and the alienation between the two will lead to the tension of citizenship and national identity. In additi.
American golden age 1945 1960
The postwar period from 1945-1960 saw significant economic growth and social changes in America. There was a boom in suburban living and consumerism driven by increased incomes and availability of credit. However, prosperity was uneven as 25% still lived in poverty. Tensions remained from the Cold War and nuclear arms race. Desegregation progressed slowly despite the 1954 Brown v. Board ruling, as seen by resistance in Little Rock in 1957. A growing counterculture emerged among youth in response to conformity during this period of political, economic and social upheaval.

The modern State of Israel was established in 1948 for several historical reasons: the longstanding Jewish religious connection to the land of Israel, the Holocaust in Europe which killed millions of Jews, the rise of anti-Semitism and persecution of Jews in Europe, and the Zionist movement which advocated for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine.

The document discusses the historical background and causes of the ethnic conflict in Yugoslavia that led to its civil war and dissolution in the 1990s. Key points included the region being controlled by various empires for centuries, the creation of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes after WWI, and tensions between nationalist groups. After WWII, Yugoslavia was formed as a federation of six republics under communist rule led by Tito, but economic and ethnic tensions increased after his death, fueling nationalist sentiments and ultimately war as the republics declared independence.
Decolonization process.ppt
The decolonization process occurred globally from the mid-20th century as European colonial powers granted independence to their colonies. Key factors driving decolonization included the weakening of European powers after World War II, the rise of nationalist independence movements, and pressure from the USSR and USA against colonialism. Decolonization happened through negotiated settlements, wars of independence, or incomplete transitions, and resulted in new challenges for the post-colonial nations.
Palestine Mid Term Essay
The document analyzes why Palestinians failed to achieve statehood in 1948. It argues that the Zionist militias' advantage over fragile Palestinian and Arab factions was the primary reason. The militias grew from ill-equipped groups in the 1920s to powerful forces by 1948 that conquered Arab cities and displaced Palestinians. Meanwhile, international actors like Britain and Transjordan took ambiguous stances or were complicit in advancing Zionism. While Jewish immigration and investment strengthened the Zionist project, the militias' campaigns most directly undermined Palestinian statehood and self-determination by the time of the 1947 UN partition plan.
Modern Jewish History
Modern Jewish Zionism began in the late 1800s/early 1900s as Jews sought to escape antisemitism in Europe and reestablish a homeland in Palestine, the historic land of the Jewish people. Political Zionists established organizations to purchase land in Palestine and promote Hebrew as the national language. As nationalist sentiments grew in the Arab world during this time as well, tensions rose between Zionist ambitions and Arab self-rule. After World War I and the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, Britain took control of Palestine and struggled to balance Arab and Jewish interests, fueling further conflict between the communities. The Holocaust intensified Jewish support for Zionism and statehood. Israel declared independence in 1948, leading surrounding Arab states to declare war in opposition

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
