Table 2: Culture and Democratic Survival Dependent variable: Probability of Democratic Survival 10. Look at the results in Table 2, above. Based on these results, does having a Muslim majority significantly increase, decrease, or have no effect on the likelihood that a democracy will remain a democracy? (0.5 point) 11. Imagine you are watching a political talk show (perhaps one of the ones that are shown on Sunday morning, or perhaps The Daily Show) and the pundits are discussing problems with the democratization process in Iraq. One of the guests claims that a key factor making it unlikely that democracy could survive in Iraq (even if it were established there) is that there are too many different ethnic groups in the country. Does the empirical evidence in Table 2 support such a claim? (1 point).

Backsliding.pdf
Some analysts worry that the U.S. may be at risk of democratic backsliding similar to other countries. Democratic backsliding involves leaders weakening democratic institutions and norms. Historically, common forms included coups, executives consolidating power, and election fraud. However, the frequency of such actions has declined in recent decades. Instead, democratic backsliding now often involves more gradual, legal actions that undermine democracy over the long term. The main factors protecting against backsliding are respect for democratic norms and institutions.

governance.pdf
This document discusses the concept of "good governance" in development policy. It argues that development is fundamentally political and that effective administration alone cannot generate sustainable development. While competent administration is important, development requires a strong state capable of managing political interests and generating support for reforms. The experience of structural adjustment lending in the 1980s highlighted the importance of political will and capacity for implementing economic changes, as reforms inevitably create both winners and losers. However, current orthodoxy focuses too narrowly on technical solutions and fails to adequately consider the political dynamics of development.
El mito de la recesión democrática
The document summarizes the debate around whether democracy is experiencing a global decline or recession. It argues that claims of a democratic recession are overstated and not supported by empirical data from leading democracy indices. While a few countries have experienced democratic breakdowns, like Thailand and Venezuela, the number is relatively small and is matched by countries that have become more democratic. Overall, global democracy has remained stable over the last decade according to measures like the number of democracies and average democracy scores in indices. Perceptions of decline are skewed by unrealistic expectations following the democratic optimism of the early post-Cold War period.
Women empowerment economic_development
This document summarizes a paper on the relationship between women's empowerment and economic development. It discusses two directions of influence: 1) Development alone can help reduce gender inequality by reducing poverty and increasing opportunities. However, it is not enough to achieve full equality and policy action is still needed. 2) Empowering women can stimulate further development by changing societies' choices, though this relationship is not always self-sustaining and requires continuous policy support. The paper reviews evidence on both sides of this relationship and argues the impacts are likely too weak to be self-reinforcing without sustained gender equality policies.

The document discusses political inequality and how it relates to economic and social inequalities in the United States. It summarizes research from the American Political Science Association Task Force that found rising economic inequality and existing racial/gender inequalities influence who makes political decisions and what decisions are made. The research also found that Senators are more responsive to affluent constituents than those with modest means, and that views of constituents in the bottom third of incomes receive no consideration in the policymaking process.
Six Principles Of Political Realism
Reagan's image as a likable president helped him politically. He was nicknamed the "Teflon president" as bad press did not stick to him. On domestic policy, Reagan cut taxes and regulations for businesses but faced pushback trying to cut welfare programs. His economic policies increased budget deficits. His focus was more on foreign policy where he took a hardline anti-communist stance against the Soviet Union.

GOVT ESSAY
This document discusses issues and problems with defining and measuring democracy, particularly in developing nations. It argues that while many definitions of democracy exist, in practice there is a dominant form - liberal democracy - that is used to evaluate developing nations. This risks oversimplifying other regime types and excluding important contextual factors. Measuring democracy is difficult due to many complex variables, so the focus should be on reducing barriers like international influence that push developing nations towards the dominant model for political and economic reasons rather than democratic progress.
Mini paper 3-tynes-culture over politics and economics
Culture should be the primary lens for examining international development for several reasons:
1) Culture influences the development of political and economic institutions within societies. Societal values and beliefs shape how institutions are structured.
2) Studies have found that cultural factors like values, social patterns, and attitudes can impede or promote modernization and development. For example, certain cultural traits in Latin America and Southern Italy have slowed their economic and political progress.
3) Individual belief systems aggregate to form cultural norms that underlie and influence how societies design political and economic systems to achieve prosperity and progress. Culture is organic and shapes tangible institutions.

Key topics covered include direct vs representative democracy, conditions needed for successful democratization, similarities between democracy and capitalism in allowing competition for acceptance in the marketplace of ideas, and criticisms of democratic peace theory.
Income Inequality and Human Development.JM
This document analyzes the relationship between income inequality and human development. It explores how income inequality is negatively correlated with human development, and that this correlation is stronger in poorer countries. The author develops models incorporating measures of human development, income, and income inequality to test the hypothesis. Regression analysis is used to shed light on how the three indicators relate and how income inequality affects development.
The Arab Spring: Much Violence, Little Democracy
This document discusses three questions: 1) Is democracy important for development, especially in oil-dependent regions? 2) Why has the Arab Spring been a "late awakening"? 3) Why has the Arab Spring been so violent? Regarding the first question, the literature suggests democracy promotes development by increasing stability, equitable societies, and human capital investment. However, in socially and ethnically polarized regions like the Arab world, inclusive democracy is important to manage tensions. For the second question, the Arab world has experienced high persistence of autocracy and few democratic transitions due to factors like oil rents, conflicts, and country-specific determinants. For the third question, the violence is partly explained by social polarization and autocrats choosing repression over

Question 1No one entity or public servant can do a job alone. Te.docx
Question 1
No one entity or public servant can do a job alone. Teamwork, collaboration, and coordination are key elements in public service. The local government is dependent on state agencies and or neighboring jurisdictions as well as funding from the national level. Conversely, federal authorities often rely on local and state entities to manage or maintain programs at the grassroots level.
Discuss the central importance of coordination among public agencies (Chapter 4). What is it and why is it often important? What are some of the factors that might undermine or strengthen efforts to improve coordination? (As always, you can employ real-world examples to bring this concept to life.)
Question 2
Based on the reading, outline the types of grants that may be available to state and local government. Research two specific grant programs that would be available to an emergency management organization at the state or local level from another level of government. Explain the uses of the grants and the specifications for utilizing the funding. Please provide references in APA format.

The relationship between the President of the United States and the American party system is one of great complexity. Unlike a Prime Minister or Parliament style government, the President is chosen from the electoral base; rather than their own political party (Wiesehomeier, 2009). This major difference can either be a good thing or a burden for a President, depending on how they lead and utilize tools at their disposal. For example, the art of flip flopping. Generally the term has a negative connotation and is used by the media to convey an unstable or lying leader. It is normal to have leaders change their positions on subjects depending on changing variables or additional information given to them af ...
Political comm week 3 presentation.pdf
This document summarizes a presentation about how political actors compete for control over news media. It discusses two key principles from the book - that political power can translate to power over media, and that powerful actors can lose control over media when they lose control over the political environment. It provides examples showing how the US lost control of media coverage during the Vietnam War as public opinion turned, while maintaining control during the Gulf War. The document argues new technologies have increased spontaneous stories, but traditional media still influence how they are framed.

International Organizations and Transnational Actors
This week we will begin by examining the various types of international organizations, focusing on the United Nations and the European Union. This includes transnational actors, including transnational corporations and transnational advocacy networks, concluding with a discussion of whether the increase in these various actors has led to the end of the Westphalian state system.
International governmental organizations (IGOs) are generally defined as organizations that have memberships of three or more nation-states. Today, there are thousands of these organizations, including the United Nations, the European Union, and the World Trade Organization.
Much like a nation-state, the EU is made up of executive, legislative, and judicial branches. The European Commission acts as the executive branch, while the Council acts as the legislature. The European Parliament is also part of the legislative arm of the organization. The Parliament is the only EU institution whose members are elected directly by the citizens. The European Court of Justice acts as the judicial branch, hearing cases over the meaning of a particular law or handling disputes among EU institutions.
In addition to IGOs, there are also transnational actors, which are actors whose activities cut across state boundaries. There are thousands and thousands of transnational actors, including transnational corporations and international nongovernmental organizations.
Transnational corporations, or TNCs, are companies whose production and sales operations span more than a single country. In an era of globalization, their numbers are increasing rapidly, as even relatively small firms seek international suppliers and markets.
International nongovernmental organizations, or INGOs, include a wide range of nongovernmental, nonbusiness organizations that operate across state boundaries. They are distinguished from IGOs in that their members are individuals, not state.
World Happiness Report 2019
This document is the introduction chapter of the World Happiness Report 2019. It summarizes the focus of the report, which examines how happiness has changed over time and how factors like government, community, and technology influence happiness. The chapter specifically discusses three topics: 1) links between government and happiness, 2) the impact of prosocial behavior, and 3) changes in information technology. It provides examples from Mexican survey data to illustrate how dissatisfaction with government can influence voting behavior and how happiness increased after a change in leadership.

World Happiness Report 2019
Estudo realizado por John F. Helliwell, Richard Layard and Jeffrey D. Sachs.
The World Happiness Report was written by a group of independent experts acting in their personal capacities. Any views expressed in this report do not necessarily reflect the views of any organization, agency or programme of the United Nations.
This is the 7th World Happiness Report. The first
was released in April 2012 in support of a UN High
level meeting on “Wellbeing and Happiness:
Defining a New Economic Paradigm”. That report
presented the available global data on national
happiness and reviewed related evidence from the
emerging science of happiness, showing that the
quality of people’s lives can be coherently, reliably,
and validly assessed by a variety of subjective
well-being measures, collectively referred to then
and in subsequent reports as “happiness.” Each
report includes updated evaluations and a range
of commissioned chapters on special topics
digging deeper into the science of well-being, and
on happiness in specific countries and regions.
Often there is a central theme. This year we focus
on happiness and community: how happiness has
been changing over the past dozen years, and
how information technology, governance and
social norms influence communities.
The world is a rapidly changing place. Among
the fastest changing aspects are those relating
to how people communicate and interact with
each other, whether in their schools and workplaces, their neighbourhoods, or in far-flung
parts of the world. In last year’s report, we
studied migration as one important source of
global change, finding that each country’s life
circumstances, including the social context and
political institutions were such important sources
of happiness that the international ranking of
migrant happiness was almost identical to that of
the native born. This evidence made a powerful
case that the large international differences in
life evaluations are driven by the differences in
how people connect with each other and with
their shared institutions and social norms.
World happiness report
This document provides an overview of the 2019 World Happiness Report, which focuses on happiness and community. It discusses three topics: links between government and happiness, the importance of prosocial behavior, and the impact of digital technology on communities and interactions. The overview previews the subsequent chapters, which will analyze relationships between governance and life evaluations, the connection between voter happiness and political participation, evidence on the link between generosity and well-being, and the effects of digital media and internet addiction on American happiness.
Why Nations Fail: the origins of power, prosperity and poverty
The document summarizes chapters from the book "Why Nations Fail" by Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson. It discusses the authors' thesis that economic prosperity depends on inclusive political and economic institutions, while extractive institutions lead to poverty. The analysis examines several historical examples to show how institutional developments can create either virtuous or vicious cycles that reinforce inclusive or extractive institutions over time. However, the summary also notes some shortcomings, including the book's failure to explain how to prevent the emergence of extractive institutions or acknowledge that growth under inclusive institutions is not guaranteed. It argues the book is still relevant to understanding Pakistan's challenges in developing extractive political institutions that benefit elites over broader society.

This document provides an overview of lecture topics from a political science course on modern world governments, including defining democracy, different forms of democracy, democratic transition, capitalism, and the relationship between democracy and capitalism. Key topics covered include direct vs representative democracy, conditions needed for successful democratization, similarities between democracy and capitalism in allowing competition for acceptance in the marketplace of ideas, and criticisms of democratic peace theory.
Income Inequality and Human Development.JM
This document analyzes the relationship between income inequality and human development. It explores how income inequality is negatively correlated with human development, and that this correlation is stronger in poorer countries. The author develops models incorporating measures of human development, income, and income inequality to test the hypothesis. Regression analysis is used to shed light on how the three indicators relate and how income inequality affects development.
The Arab Spring: Much Violence, Little Democracy
This document discusses three questions: 1) Is democracy important for development, especially in oil-dependent regions? 2) Why has the Arab Spring been a "late awakening"? 3) Why has the Arab Spring been so violent? Regarding the first question, the literature suggests democracy promotes development by increasing stability, equitable societies, and human capital investment. However, in socially and ethnically polarized regions like the Arab world, inclusive democracy is important to manage tensions. For the second question, the Arab world has experienced high persistence of autocracy and few democratic transitions due to factors like oil rents, conflicts, and country-specific determinants. For the third question, the violence is partly explained by social polarization and autocrats choosing repression over

Question 1No one entity or public servant can do a job alone. Te.docx
Question 1
No one entity or public servant can do a job alone. Teamwork, collaboration, and coordination are key elements in public service. The local government is dependent on state agencies and or neighboring jurisdictions as well as funding from the national level. Conversely, federal authorities often rely on local and state entities to manage or maintain programs at the grassroots level.
Discuss the central importance of coordination among public agencies (Chapter 4). What is it and why is it often important? What are some of the factors that might undermine or strengthen efforts to improve coordination? (As always, you can employ real-world examples to bring this concept to life.)
Question 2
Based on the reading, outline the types of grants that may be available to state and local government. Research two specific grant programs that would be available to an emergency management organization at the state or local level from another level of government. Explain the uses of the grants and the specifications for utilizing the funding. Please provide references in APA format.

The relationship between the President of the United States and the American party system is one of great complexity. Unlike a Prime Minister or Parliament style government, the President is chosen from the electoral base; rather than their own political party (Wiesehomeier, 2009). This major difference can either be a good thing or a burden for a President, depending on how they lead and utilize tools at their disposal. For example, the art of flip flopping. Generally the term has a negative connotation and is used by the media to convey an unstable or lying leader. It is normal to have leaders change their positions on subjects depending on changing variables or additional information given to them af ...
Political comm week 3 presentation.pdf
This document summarizes a presentation about how political actors compete for control over news media. It discusses two key principles from the book - that political power can translate to power over media, and that powerful actors can lose control over media when they lose control over the political environment. It provides examples showing how the US lost control of media coverage during the Vietnam War as public opinion turned, while maintaining control during the Gulf War. The document argues new technologies have increased spontaneous stories, but traditional media still influence how they are framed.

pls read the reading 3 and answer this question.( one paragraph )
1. How has globalization played a role in challenging the power of the state? In other words, which of the challenges are attributable to globalization and which are attributable to forces that may run counter to globalization, such as religion?
2. Is there an alternative to the nation-state? Are there more natural ways to organize politics? Think about alternatives that are smaller (ethnic groups, tribes, regions) and larger (multistate coalitions like the European Union or world government).
3. One way to think about the European Union is as a natural progression into larger political units. Centuries ago, Europe was a series of city-states, then slightly larger kingdoms, then larger principalities, then nation-states, and now a larger union. Can you foresee a similar evolution in any other geographic region, such as Latin America or Africa?

Globalization, which is often defined as the widening, deepening, and speeding up of worldwide interconnectedness in all aspects of contemporary social life, has been viewed as a key organizing principle of global politics in the post-Cold War era. Yet the concept itself is fundamentally contested and its impact on the state is hotly debated, with liberal economists, global skeptics, and transformationalists each offering competing understandings of the process.
Contrast the perspectives on globalization offered by liberal economists, global skeptics, and transformationalists, focusing in particular on the implications of their respective viewpoints on the power and authority of the nation state. Does globalization undermine the authority and power of the nation state? Why?(500 to 700 words)

International Organizations and Transnational Actors
This week we will begin by examining the various types of international organizations, focusing on the United Nations and the European Union. This includes transnational actors, including transnational corporations and transnational advocacy networks, concluding with a discussion of whether the increase in these various actors has led to the end of the Westphalian state system.
International governmental organizations (IGOs) are generally defined as organizations that have memberships of three or more nation-states. Today, there are thousands of these organizations, including the United Nations, the European Union, and the World Trade Organization.
Much like a nation-state, the EU is made up of executive, legislative, and judicial branches. The European Commission acts as the executive branch, while the Council acts as the legislature. The European Parliament is also part of the legislative arm of the organization. The Parliament is the only EU institution whose members are elected directly by the citizens. The European Court of Justice acts as the judicial branch, hearing cases over the meaning of a particular law or handling disputes among EU institutions.
In addition to IGOs, there are also transnational actors, which are actors whose activities cut across state boundaries. There are thousands and thousands of transnational actors, including transnational corporations and international nongovernmental organizations.
Transnational corporations, or TNCs, are companies whose production and sales operations span more than a single country. In an era of globalization, their numbers are increasing rapidly, as even relatively small firms seek international suppliers and markets.
International nongovernmental organizations, or INGOs, include a wide range of nongovernmental, nonbusiness organizations that operate across state boundaries. They are distinguished from IGOs in that their members are individuals, not state.
World Happiness Report 2019
This document is the introduction chapter of the World Happiness Report 2019. It summarizes the focus of the report, which examines how happiness has changed over time and how factors like government, community, and technology influence happiness. The chapter specifically discusses three topics: 1) links between government and happiness, 2) the impact of prosocial behavior, and 3) changes in information technology. It provides examples from Mexican survey data to illustrate how dissatisfaction with government can influence voting behavior and how happiness increased after a change in leadership.

World Happiness Report 2019
Estudo realizado por John F. Helliwell, Richard Layard and Jeffrey D. Sachs.
The World Happiness Report was written by a group of independent experts acting in their personal capacities. Any views expressed in this report do not necessarily reflect the views of any organization, agency or programme of the United Nations.
This is the 7th World Happiness Report. The first
was released in April 2012 in support of a UN High
level meeting on “Wellbeing and Happiness:
Defining a New Economic Paradigm”. That report
presented the available global data on national
happiness and reviewed related evidence from the
emerging science of happiness, showing that the
quality of people’s lives can be coherently, reliably,
and validly assessed by a variety of subjective
well-being measures, collectively referred to then
and in subsequent reports as “happiness.” Each
report includes updated evaluations and a range
of commissioned chapters on special topics
digging deeper into the science of well-being, and
on happiness in specific countries and regions.
Often there is a central theme. This year we focus
on happiness and community: how happiness has
been changing over the past dozen years, and
how information technology, governance and
social norms influence communities.
The world is a rapidly changing place. Among
the fastest changing aspects are those relating
to how people communicate and interact with
each other, whether in their schools and workplaces, their neighbourhoods, or in far-flung
parts of the world. In last year’s report, we
studied migration as one important source of
global change, finding that each country’s life
circumstances, including the social context and
political institutions were such important sources
of happiness that the international ranking of
migrant happiness was almost identical to that of
the native born. This evidence made a powerful
case that the large international differences in
life evaluations are driven by the differences in
how people connect with each other and with
their shared institutions and social norms.
World happiness report
This document provides an overview of the 2019 World Happiness Report, which focuses on happiness and community. It discusses three topics: links between government and happiness, the importance of prosocial behavior, and the impact of digital technology on communities and interactions. The overview previews the subsequent chapters, which will analyze relationships between governance and life evaluations, the connection between voter happiness and political participation, evidence on the link between generosity and well-being, and the effects of digital media and internet addiction on American happiness.
Why Nations Fail: the origins of power, prosperity and poverty
The document summarizes chapters from the book "Why Nations Fail" by Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson. It discusses the authors' thesis that economic prosperity depends on inclusive political and economic institutions, while extractive institutions lead to poverty. The analysis examines several historical examples to show how institutional developments can create either virtuous or vicious cycles that reinforce inclusive or extractive institutions over time. However, the summary also notes some shortcomings, including the book's failure to explain how to prevent the emergence of extractive institutions or acknowledge that growth under inclusive institutions is not guaranteed. It argues the book is still relevant to understanding Pakistan's challenges in developing extractive political institutions that benefit elites over broader society.

Tania leaves her home in South Surrey at 5pm to visit her friend who r.pdf
Tania leaves her home in South Surrey at 5 pm to visit her friend who recently moved to North
Vancouver. It is a cold, rainy, dark, late-afternoon in December. Tania is thankful she is driving
her car, rather than having to take a very long trip by public transit. This day, however, traffic is
especially bad, delaying what would otherwise be a 40-minute drive. Even worse, Tania gets lost
along the way. She knows the streets near her home very well, but has very little knowledge of
the roads outside Surrey, and she ends up driving around and around Burnaby and North
Vancouver until she finally reaches her friend's house at 7 pm . For each of the following four
geographic concepts, identify a corresponding example from Tania's trip. Be sure, in your
answer, to explain how/why each geographic concept is reflected in the illustrative example you
selected from Tania's trip: a) physical geography c) accessibility b) distance decay d) place.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Table 2- Culture and Democratic Survival Dependent variable- Probabili.pdf
- 1. Table 2: Culture and Democratic Survival Dependent variable: Probability of Democratic Survival 10. Look at the results in Table 2, above. Based on these results, does having a Muslim majority significantly increase, decrease, or have no effect on the likelihood that a democracy will remain a democracy? (0.5 point) 11. Imagine you are watching a political talk show (perhaps one of the ones that are shown on Sunday morning, or perhaps The Daily Show) and the pundits are discussing problems with the democratization process in Iraq. One of the guests claims that a key factor making it unlikely that democracy could survive in Iraq (even if it were established there) is that there are too many different ethnic groups in the country. Does the empirical evidence in Table 2 support such a claim? (1 point)
