The document discusses how differences in political party structures between Britain and America have influenced the development of online electoral campaigning. It outlines characteristics of British and American parties, with British parties having formal membership and internal democratic structures, while American parties have no formal membership and weak central organization. It argues that the candidate-focused model of internal democracy used by American parties, manifested through primaries, has allowed the internet to facilitate information transfer between participants, making online campaigning more successful in the US.
Carrots or Sticks: The Choice and Impact of EU Democratic Sanctions and AidPaulina Pospieszna
Both the provision of democracy aid and the imposition of sanctions are tools to promote
democracy. Yet, it is unclear under which conditions states choose to set positive or negative
incentives. In order to answer which tool—democracy aid or democratic sanctions—is more
effective, one has to analyse the actual form of the provision of aid. Sanctions and democracy aid
can also be employed at the same time. The goal of this study is to determine their joint effect on
democratization in recipient countries. We argue that sending civil society aid or democracy aid
channeled through NGOs and the civil society when sanctions are in place, enhances the
effectiveness of sanctions as a democracy promotion tool because the civil society can be
empowered to introduce democratic changes in its country—so additionally to the top-down
pressure created by sanctions, there is bottom-up pressure exerted by the civil society. Our results
suggest that democratic sanctions are more likely to be successful if democracy aid bypasses the
government in a target state. Conversely, other forms of aid provision tend to decrease the
effectiveness of sanctions. In order to precisely explain the joint impact of positive and negative
incentives on democratization, we employ a new comprehensive dataset on economic sanctions
for the period between 1989 and 2015 which integrates and updates the Threats and Imposition of
Economic Sanctions and the GIGA sanctions data sets, merged with disaggregated OECD aid data
and V-Dem as well as PolityIV democracy scores.
SOCIAL, POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF COUNTRY CATEGORIZATION AND THE LOOPHOLES OF DEFINING DEMOCRACY: Freedom House
The aim of this study is three-fold: First, it aims to evaluate how Freedom House defines democracy and whether the critics make valid points regarding potential score implications on ‘different’ democratic structures. Second, the study will review the instrumental players who use the scores, and repercussions regarding aid, policy, trade, or investment for the country. And thirdly, the study will look into the impact of Freedom House scores; the actions a country takes as a result and whether there are positive measureable impacts that can substantiate the consequences of the scores.

Dov Levin - Partisan electoral interventions by the great powers: Introducing...Davide J. Mancino
ABSTRACT: Recent studies indicate that partisan electoral interventions, a situation where a foreign power
tries to determine the election results in another country, can have significant effects on the election results in the targeted country as well as other important influences. Nevertheless, research
on this topic has been hindered by a lack of systematic data of electoral interventions. In this article, I introduce the Partisan Electoral Intervention by the Great Powers dataset (PEIG), which provides data on all such interventions by the US and the USSR/Russia between 1946 and 2000. After
describing the dataset construction process, I note some interesting patterns in the data, a few of
which stand in contrast to claims made about electoral interventions in the public sphere and give
an example of PEIG’s utility. I then describe some applications of PEIG for research on electoral
interventions in particular and for peace research in general.
E-politics from the citizens’ perspective. The role of social networking tool...Przegląd Politologiczny
The progress of civilization, supported by the development of new technologies, has led
to a series of social, economic and political changes. The information society, in its expectations and
through access to knowledge, has significantly affected a change in the model of democracy, causing
a kind of return to the original forms of communication in citizen-government relations. This has been
accompanied by a shift of social and civic activism from the real to the virtual world. In literature,
the use of information and communication technologies in the democratic system is named electronic
democracy. One of its forms is e-politics, which is implemented at several levels: institutional, system
and civil. A good example of the last type are the new social movements that in recent years have had
a significant impact on politics.
The basic research problem in this paper concerns e-politics from the citizens’ perspective, through
the activities of the new social movements, especially of a political nature. The main research goal
is therefore to present the role of social networking tools in influencing citizens and their subsequent
activities that have triggered changes in the political system. The methods used in the paper are case
study and comparative analysis.
What we see may not always be the reality and what we
presume as real may not be our observation always. In a democratic
set-up, this has often emerged as a reality. Democracies had always been subjected to criticism but it is astonishing to note how the
interplay of corrupt vision and changing social attitudes playing a
havoc in our democratic systems. This paper broadly investigates
the voting behavior and attitudes in response to sophisticated
tempting actions by political parties to pull voters. This research
demonstrates that higher the level of temptation combined with
many socio-economic perils leads to higher biasness towards
them. Participatory research, interviews, journals, publications,
and observation and media reporting have been studied, analyzed,
and scrutinized to discover how different poor and illiterate people
vote. Findings and results attribute a greater role of education,
financial liberty, backwardness, and awareness to political reality
in determining voting behavior.
This paper, the last of three that I wrote during the autumn 2011 term at CUNY for an introductory labor studies course, deals with how the labor movement can approach politics in the US from a broadly "progressive", "left wing" stance. I make the case for a "combined approach" in which labor organizers build an independent third party, get involved in community unionism, and help establish worker-run enterprises. Again, as with the previous two papers, although this paper could use some editing, I am posting it as is to reflect evolution of written expression and ability.
2010 Post-Election Analysis: President Barack Obama and the Closely Divided 1...Patton Boggs LLP
With Republican candidates having made significant gains in the mid-term elections by capturing the House and increasing their share of the Senate, President Barack Obama faces a starkly different legislative environment as he seeks to advance the balance of his policy agenda and as he runs for reelection in 2012. The President has already accomplished two of his most ambitious legislative goals on which he campaigned—health care reform and financial services reform, but two remain unfulfilled—energy/climate change legislation and immigration reform. And now, notwithstanding the need to create jobs and further stimulate the economy, he will likely add deficit reduction as a third one. Will he go for comprehensive bills or will he try for incremental reform? Will he choose confrontation or compromise at the outset? Will he give up on Congress and try to accomplish as much as possible through regulatory action? And how will action in the courts and international events, including the war in Afghanistan, the situation in Iraq, ongoing developments in Iran, and terrorist threats, limit his domestic agenda?
This guidance is for charity board or committee members. These are the people who sit on the governing body of a charity and are responsible for ensuring that it is working towards its charitable purpose and that its independence and reputation are protected.
The purpose of this guidance is to assist charities in deciding what advocacy and campaigning
they can appropriately undertake and what they should avoid. It is designed to minimise risks
for charities involved in advocacy.
In the lead up to an election, some charities may want to make their voices heard in the political
arena. Charities can campaign on political issues to advance their charitable purposes, including
during election periods, as long as they meet the requirements of charity law and other relevant
legislation (e.g., the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 (Cth)).

Tweeting the campaign: Evaluation of the Strategies performed by Spanish Poli...Pablo Aragón
Social networks have become repositories of Big Data that can be mined and analyzed to gain insights into the activities and preferences of Internet users. The present research relies on a large dataset from Twitter to examine emotional content, activity patterns and interaction networks of political parties and politically active users during the campaign for the Spanish national elections of November 2011.
Our results show remarkable differences in political parties according to the diffusion and communication dynamics within the microblogging network. The study of the networks generated by the main parties allows us to identify different strategies depending on the characteristics of the analyzed parties in the offline word. Furthermore, we discuss the adaptation of the political structures of the parties to this new communication and organizational paradigm emerged from Internet and online social networks.
Political Communication In Digital Age – Social Media AnalysisVijaykumar Meti
In the age of digital world, social media are said to have an impact on the public sphere and communication in the society. Especially social media have been extensively using in political context. Popular social network sites like Facebook and Twitter are believed to have the potential for increasing political participation. While, microblogging site Twitter is an ideal platform for political institutions to spread not only information in general but also political opinions publicly through their networks. Political institutions, politicians, political foundations, etc. have also begun to use Facebook pages or community groups for the purpose of entering into direct dialogs with citizens and encouraging more political discussions.

Response one pol-04
As we begin our focus on Congress in this class, I find it to be interesting timing. Many of the categories discussed in this week’s lesson are happening right in front of us. I could not help but have examples streaming through my head while reading this week’s lesson and assigned reading. Possible the most interesting category was plebiscitary politics. I say this due to all of the direct contact politicians from Congress are having with the American people. Last night I just began flipping through the news outlets on television and every show had at least one sitting member of congress on the show. Then I searched a few popular political hashtags on twitter and it was filled with congressional members’ accounts. As posed in this week’s lesson, is all of this “camera time” causing things in Congress to be at a stalemate? No more is it the compromising body (Grulke, 2018). I feel that this is an area where things could be genuinely discussed and debated between Congress and constituents, however the constant state of campaigning (which is another category but I believe these two are linked) does not lend the interaction to be genuine and mutually beneficial, rather it is used to maintain and garner more votes. Much like how town hall meetings were used before the age of 24 hour news and social media, politicians have the ability and opportunity to reach out to more people than ever before through these “tools”; I just do not believe they are using them properly, rather just for self-gain.
As I mentioned above, I believe the categories plebiscitary politics and governing as campaigning have become intrinsically linked. The constant state of campaigning by congressional members, specifically in the House of Representatives, means less time actually governing (Grulke, 2018). Utilizing the “tools” mention above in the plebiscitary category, members are always seeking more contributions from donors and making sure they are saying whatever they need to, to achieve more votes; not focused on making the best decisions for the majority or protecting the minority. With the having a two year term cycle for members of the House, the minute they have secured another term they are out campaigning immediately for the next election. That is just ludicrous! I do not believe in “career” politicians, especially in the House of Representatives since the Framer’s intended the House to be comprised of the “common citizen”. Perhaps it is time to impose term limits for members of Congress? You get two years to work to make a difference, that is it; make those two years count! Having term limits would also allow for more citizens to be in Congress, mixing it up (Morgan, 2017). This way there is more diversity working its way through congress, not just attorneys and wealthy business peop ...

5 Things About the Rise of Dissident Politics in the U.S. and Germany.pdfWajidKhanMP
5 Things About the Rise of Dissident Politics in the U.S. and Germany
A new wave of dissent has blossomed in elections worldwide, starting with Britain's referendum on leaving the European Union last summer. The nativist and populist narratives in the presidential campaigns of Austria's Norbert Hofer, France's Marine Le Pen, and Donald Trump provided powerful alternatives to globalization.
Even in Germany, which has a strong tradition of liberal democracy, the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) recently won enough votes to enter parliament - the first such party to enter Germany since 1949. Constanze Stolzenmüller, a senior researcher at Robert Bosch, called the result "a dark day for you, me, and Western Democrats."
The populist and nationalist sentiment seems to be growing on both sides of the Atlantic. Does Wajid khan ask what Brookings commentators say about the rise of these dissident parties, candidates, and campaigns?

SOURCES THAT ARE INCLUDED MUST BE USED, NO OUTSIDE SOURCES!
A. Justification
At the time of their founding, Latin American countries drew inspiration from
the United States and its system of government based on democratically elected
presidents subject to checks and balances from independent and co-equal branches of
government. Yet democracy proved to be little more than an aspiration during most
of the region’s independent history with countries fluctuating repeatedly, often in
quick succession, from popularly elected leaders to dictatorships. Democracy failed to
take root in even the wealthiest and most industrialized countries in the region as
exemplified by repressive military dictatorships that ruled the Southern Cone during
the 1970s.
However, starting in the late 1970s and gathering momentum during the
1980s, Latin American dictatorships were replaced by popularly elected
governments. This time really did prove different. Despite setbacks and persistent
(and often well-justified) concerns about tangible results of democracy (its
deliverables), today all but two Latin American countries qualify as functioning (if
somewhat flawed) democracies.
Democracy is, for now, to quote Linz and Stepan (1996, 15), “the only game in
town” in Latin America. With that problem resolved, social scientists have turned
their attention to a new problem: the quality of said democracies:
How far are today’s democratically elected governments from what was
promised to the electorate prior to transition?
Specifically, what are the main strengths and weaknesses of each of the
region’s democracies?
You will tackle these questions by conducting an audit of the quality of
democracy in a Latin American country of your choosing. This assignment combined
with class lectures on the larger political trends in the region’s recent history, will
provide you with a more detailed and nuanced picture of Latin American Politics.
B. Assignment
1) You are to research and write a policy memo evaluating the state of democracy Argentina. The memo should
be about 2,500 words or 10 pages long (double-spaced).
2) Begin by understanding the concept of democratic quality and the ways in which
it can assessed. Quality of democracy in the country you select should be assessed
following the framework developed by Levine and Molina (2011). Said framework
evaluates the quality of a country’s democracy based on five criteria:
1) Electoral Decision; 2) Participation; 3) Responsiveness; 4.) Accountability;
and 5) Sovereignty.
Read:
o Daniel M. Levine, and Jose Molina, editors. 2011. The Quality of
Democracy in Latin America. Boulder, CO: Lynne Rienner Publishers,
Chapters 1.
3) Get acquainted with the history of and the main political issues in your country.
For that, you are required to read your country’s chapter in:
Skidmore, Thomas E., Peter H. Smith, and James N. Green. 2010. Modern
Latin America, 7th Edition. New York: Oxford Unive.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
