Essay On Rebel Violence

According to General Sully in Fools Crow, “But this is a serious manner. Your people claim they want peace but they prove otherwise. My people are sick and tired of this constant raiding, this constant murder of innocent citizens. When I deliver the results of this meeting, I’m afraid they will be very disappointed. Indeed, many will wish to settle the score in a less than peaceful manner.”

Brennan argue that one should obtain from voting if there vote will contribute to harmful activities. The author calls this contribution to harmful activities bad voting; he does make the distinction that someone does not vote badly if they have substantial evidence that the policy was good, but it ended up being harmful. The individual votes do not have a large enough impact to sway the outcome of the vote in a certain direction, the harm from bad voting is a collective effort among a group of voters. This argument does take into account voting

Moreover, a report to the government on public opinion states, “the majority of the citizens agreed in unanimously saying that tribunals act well, that they acquit the innocent and punish the guilty” (document 7). However, this report was most likely made to favor the ideals of the government, so it is most likely untrue. Simply put, the Terror was advantageous because it wiped out much of the opposition.

Thus, he emphasizes how terrorist organization in turn assess their targets. Targeting democracies at a certain time in policy debate lead Pape to conclude that the coercive nature of the suicide terrorist attacks is what make them successful in achieving their goals. The author uses two key examples to explain his findings. He emphasis the success of coercion with policy decisions. Israel’s withdraw from Gaza, “Israeli concessions increased their confidence in coercive effectiveness of suicide attack” The Crucial Case of Hamas “examinations of the crucial cases demonstrates that terrorist groups came to the conclusion that suicide attack accelerated Israeli’s withdraw in both cases” ().

The initiative device helps voters to channel their views as far as state policies and legislations are concerned. State politicians, civil society and members of public can initiate a process that will stir legislative action. In this regard, arrangements for a referendum will be put in place for the voters to make a decision concerning the proposed piece of legislation. Politics play a big role in referendum initiative because people are mobilized in large numbers to guarantee victory. In this case, the role of business cartels that have connections with the leading politicians cannot be ignored. For example, business cartels can fund activities of politicians who influence people to vote in their favor. Although the outcome of the referendum

There is evidence of correlation between conflict and military intervention. But according to the studies, military intervention’s increase in conflict was only a short-term issue, “initially, military intervention upset the local balance in power between cartels and local police – which is particularly relevant if these bodies were infiltrated by organized crime – thereby increasing the violence in the short term” (Espinosa and Ruin, 26), but that the same interventions decreases the homicide rates in the long term. Thus military intervention is not the cause of conflict in the form of homicide rates, but rather in the change in power in local authorities. But can one still blame the Mexican government for the increase of conflict? According to Michel Coscia and Viridiana Ríos, President Calderón did not start the Mexican Drug War and violence did not start because of the interactions of two or more cartels operating in the same territory (Ríos, 22). By implementing a computerized search algorithm, they both developed Coscia and Ríos went through all of Google’s database to search any information that was ever been published online and indexed by Google News in national or local press as well as in particular

The dependent variable in this study is voter turnout rates, expressed as a percentage of the eligible population. Data was collected from two time periods; 1960-1970 and 1971-1980. The eligible voting population was calculated for each country from data reported by the International Labour Office in 1977 and data reported by the United Nations in 1984.

There are a number of other benefits the non-violence and pacifist policy has. They believe that wars only lead to

Political violence is the leading cause of wars today. Personal agendas have led to many of the political objectives that cause violence today this has caused many problems throughout the world and will continue to do so until a solution to this issue is found. Political objectives have been advanced involuntarily dependent upon the kind of government a nation exercises. For instance, in a democratic nation political groups must worry about convincing the majority in order to advance ethically. Those who try to influence the majority through acts of violence are considered today as “terror” organizations. Though perhaps if it were not because of the recent 9/11 terror attacks that maybe such warrants would not be seen as terror attacks,

In life there are many situations where rebellion is required for change and improvement. Some are simple, like growing up and learning not to do certain things and others are more complex like when a group of people stand up for what they believe, for example, women’s rights and black’s rights. I believe that rebellion is healthy for any growing society. There are many things that we do not agree with, whether it is the law or our parent’s instructions. By rebelling we can change our society and/or ourselves for better.

Liberal or democratic peace theory has points in favor of its argument but it also counts with flaws and weaknesses. For example, the theory analyses the relation between liberal states and between liberal states and non-liberal states, leaving aside a clear explanation of why non-liberal states have a tendency to go to war higher than liberal ones or the relation between non-liberals. Additionally, it does not take into consideration that “non-democracies are just as capable of establishing peace both amongst themselves and also with democracies” (Tziarras, 2012). Another flaw identified by many critics to the theory is that there is no sufficient statistical evidence to demonstrate that democracies never, or hardly ever, go to war among

The study of Collier & Hoeffler of 1998 will not be subject of this paper, as only four proxies were examined, namely per capital income, the natural resource endowment, populations size and the extent of ethno-linguistic fractionalisation. And also due to the fact, that is was mostly based on the economic model of a rational cost-benefit analysis: A rebellion will be conducted if the assumed benefit is greater than the cost of it (Collier& Hoeffler, 1998). This assumption is quite inaccurate, as it will be argued in the following, that the decision and motivation to engage in an armed conflict is not necessarily a rational one. Also, the study of 2007, which formulated the
