THREE MAJOR CHALLENGES TO STATE CAPACITY FACED BY VIETNAM OVER THE LAST DECADE State-building is an enduring process dating back from the 13th century. Since the emergence of modern states, there has never been a smooth and flat road for states’ development. States, ranging from strong to weak or from rich to poor, all have difficulties in every step of the progress. However, different states with a different history, society and nature will have to face up to different challenges, especially

Government: Less is More        Land of liberty, land of freedom, a land by, for, and of the people. Have you honestly ever affected one word the government has spoken? Do you do anything in daily life without the subtle involvement of Uncle Sam? Everything you see and use is government approved, or else it is illegal to use it.   There are many groups adamantly protesting, or rather complaining, about the amount of control the government has. I am not of the belief that the government

Somaliland Somaliland introduced its secession in 1991 and has operated as a less independent country since then; it has its own Government system and constitution. It even has a central bank that prints its own currency called Somaliland shilling. The country is peaceful and the population is about three million and most of the population is Muslim. The world, however, has refused to recognize Somaliland as an independent country. Not wanting to encourage numerous other separatist movements, Western

This book, “The Rise of the States: Evolution of American State Government,” by Jon Teaford, is his explanation of how the states have changed positively and negatively throughout the years. Each state has control over their citizens living in the state differently. Teaford addresses these issues in the form of his own discussion and explanations. Teaford begins with a background of the United States and different series of events that unfolded from the mistreatment of the national government

Ward Westray Professor Skidmore POLS 126 23 September 2014 Facets and Trends of International Economic Cooperation International trade is an often-vexing field of study. The breadth of its scope, and the multitude of political, socio-economic, and strategic components that influence its inputs and outputs, can seem staggeringly huge, frustrating attempts to narrow in on and accurately study a select topic. One commonly observed trend is that of economic globalization, the phenomenon wherein countries’

“Tell me, is there some society that doesn’t run on greed? What is greed? Of course, none of us are greedy, it is only the other fellow that’s greedy. The world runs on individuals pursuing their separate interests.” - Milton Friedman (2002) A common trend within developed and developing countries is foreign direct investment (FDI) as a major source of capital. What differs is the effect it has for the nation’s people. The current economic and technological development, its government policy and

In this paper we will be answering five critical questions in the world of international business. In the business world companies must understand how to answer these critical questions. The first of these questions is why are many governments in today’s world liberalizing cross-border movements of goods, services, and resources? Answering this question isn’t just a one word answer; it requires a breakdown of how governments go to market along with a host of other things. In today’s global

all persons have the freedom to do as they please. In other words: our state of nature is anarchy, rampant with chaos and conflict. The only viable alternative to this, Hobbes argues, is voluntary subjection and obedience to an absolute sovereign. An absolute sovereign would, ideally, exchange the people’s unrestrained freedoms for security, order, and peace. Anything less than an absolute ruler, he believes, would collapse and slip back into

economic order that should not be understood as synonymous with international cooperation aids us in our consideration of world order. Krasner defines the “sovereign state model” as “a system of political authority based on territory, mutual recognition, autonomy, and control (2001, 18).” Krasner uses this definition, not to promote the sovereign state model as the global modus operandi (or so

Veterans are heroes in the eyes of many citizens of the United States. There are over 20 million veterans who have risked their lives at young ages to help give this nation a fear free life. They serve and protect the land for their children, spouses, parents, family, and neighbors. Yet they are not treated with the love and respect they truly deserve. Those who have served took a devastating loss when the, “House Appropriations Subcommittee marked up the 2016 Veterans Affairs funding bill, and slashed
