Failed revolutions

Abstract: This essay discusses why Nova Scotia failed to join the American Revolution.

During the time of the American Revolution, Nova Scotia was geographically on the northeastern frontier of Massachusetts. No geographical feature separated Nova Scotia from Maine, which meant that the Canadian province was very much a part

Failed Revolutions and Tyrants in Animal Farm Animal Farm, by George Orwell was published in 1945, a crucial time in history because of Stalin’s takeover of the Soviet Union and his exploitation of the centralized communist government. This was in direct contradiction to the expected results of the Russian Revolution. Orwell felt that revolutions fail because the end result is a change of tyrants and not of government. Orwell exemplifies this failure through the goals of the revolution and their

Policymakers have a range of tools to use in conflict resolution and post-conflict reconstruction. While varied in breath and effect, the political, economic, and military tools policy makers use ties to traditional methods of conflict resolution. However, as conflicts have evolved to occupy the larger and more public stages following globalization, so have the tools.

Many theories and explanations explaining the actions and existence of ISIS, and how it might be overcome in order to ensure the safety and security of countries worldwide.

In his article The new nature of nation‐state failure, Rotberg further mentions a few failed countries, as well as examples of weak countries on the verge of failure, overall stating that there are many indicators which could define a state as

state described as “fragile”, “failing”, or failed and address the possible causes of state failure as well as the “danger signs” that might warn of impending failure. No global definition exists for states described as “fragile”, “failing”, or failed because they come in all shapes and sizes. Yet, countries that have failed at the basic responsibilities of governance and sovereign authority are generally lumped into this group. Fragile, failing, or failed states share similar characteristics including

Defining a failed state Before the many faults of the term ‘failed state’ can be enumerated, it is obviously pertinent to define what exactly is meant by the phrase. The idea of a state that does not meet certain requirements (i.e. fails) largely came to prominence in the last few decades, just before the turn of the 20th century and after the fall of the Soviet Union.
