Populism and economic populism
Background
Populism has a long tradition in the United States and in Latin America. In the US, both the Occupy Movement and the Tea Party can be considered populist, one on the left of the political spectrum and the other on the right. Populists tend to shun traditional political parties, often argue that the system is broken and corrupt, and try to go directly to the people in their appeals. They are often led by a charismatic individual (see: Hugo Chavez).
In Latin America, Juan Peron of Argentina (1946-1955 and 1973-1974) is probably the most well-known populist leader. Others that are often labeled populists are Lopez Portillo in Mexico (1976-1972), Goulart (1961-1964) in Brazil, Garcia (1985-1990) in Peru. Historians and political scientists debate whether socialists like Castro or Salvador Allende (Chile, 1970-1973) can be considered populists.
Traditionally, populist movements in Latin American have three main goals:
¡ Democratic inclusion;
¡ Economic nationalism;
¡ Social justice.
A new kind of populism?
In their edited work, The Macroeconomics of Populism in Latin America, Dornbusch and Edwards hypothesize that a new strain of populism emerged after World War II, which they label economic populism. Its primary difference from other types of populism is the complete disregard for economic constraints. Historically, populists in Latin America were aware of the constraints imposed by budgets, exchange rates, the money supply, and other variables but economic populists are less bothered by these limits. Dornbusch and Edwards define economic populism as: Economic policies emphasizing growth and redistribution which simultaneously de-emphasize (or deny the importance of) inflation risks, deficit finance, external constraints (i.e. trade and exchange rate issues), and the reactions of economic agents.
Economic populism does not seem to flourish where one or two multi-class political parties provide stable electoral majorities, and it is stronger where popularly supported groups have been excluded politically (e.g. unions, indigenous rights movements, leftists, rightists). It also flourishes where there are no stable majorities (countries making the transition to democracy
The populist cycle
Dornbusch and Edwards hypothesize that episodes of economic populism begin with a particular set of initial conditions:
a) Deep dissatisfaction with the status quo, inadequate growth or even recession, often as a result of previous stabilization programs.
b) A rejection of constraints on macro policy. Partly a result of existing idle capacity which seems to hold the promise of easy expansion. Given that there is often rationing of foreign exchange (foreign exchange) and credit, there is more leeway for expansion. Excess capacity and potential economies of scale imply little inflationary pressure.
c) Policy prescription is to (1) reactivate, (2) redistribute, and (3) restructure. Fiscal ...

Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasnât one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation âBlue Starâ is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407

The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesarâs dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empireâs birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empireâs society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
