Achievability of Universal Healthcare Coverage Case Studies of Mexico and Rwanda In this paper I use a case-study approach to discuss the feasibility of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) in low and middle-income countries. First, I define UHC and contextualize it within the goals of a health system. Then, I describe healthcare reforms aimed at achieving UHC in one middle-income country—Mexico—and one low-income country—Rwanda. Through these descriptions, I attempt to identify common patterns that

Courtney Rogers Comparative Politics Writing Assignment #1 February 12, 12 Do you agree with the following statements? The theory of primordialism best explains the formation of all identity groups (based on nation, race, ethnicity, or religion) or identity politics (groups tied to a nation, race, ethnicity, or religion and who get involved in politics in order to achieve certain goals for one’s identity group) within countries. Furthermore, identity groups within a country always engage

The genocide was partly founded in ethno-politics, as a group of exiled Hutus, the Rwandan Patriotic Front, invaded Rwanda from Uganda in order to reclaim their power within Rwanda from the Tutsi peoples. The turbulent relationship between the two groups was founded in pre-colonial, colonial, post-colonial and modern relationships and frameworks. The pre-colonial

held the majority of the power, but the Hutus took power as the country gained independence from Europe (Bonner, p. 2). After regaining power, Hutu now had the means and opportunity to not only ensure they remained in the echelons of society and politics, but also eradicate the Tutsi, who they believed were disgustingly inferior, and enact revenge. Although the tragedy of this event and similar extinctions can never be justified, social psychological theories dealing with prejudice may help explain

Introduction For decades, Rwanda had been griped with ethnic tensions between the majority Hutu and minority Tutsi populations. These tensions culminated in 1994 when 800,000 to 1 million Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed by Hutu extremists. It is known to be “the most efficient mass killing since the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.” While the ethnic tensions between the Hutus and Tutsis has been cited as the root cause for the genocide, it was not the only reason. It was the economic

Finding the Right Way to Intervene: Sovereignty Paper In the spring and summer of 1994, Rwanda experienced a genocide that killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people. After seeing the tragedies that took place in Nazi Germany, one would expect the international community to respond quickly and effectively in the case of the Rwandan genocide. However, the killings were largely pushed aside or ignored by the rest of the world, begging the question of when states have the right or duty to betray

Topic: Canada and the United Nations Introduction Opening Thoughts/Ideas: The United Nations was officially created on October 24, 1945 at that time nearly 50 countries had signed the U.N charter including Canada. Canada is one of the united nations founding members and has been for 72 years and has even been in the league of nations which was disbanded and now called the united nations. Canada's involvement through the United Nations has been more than significant from providing humanitarian

Everyone in this world leaves a piece behind and marks the world in their own way. In history, important people who have done horrible and good things in this world have been recorded and displayed to children in schools. I mostly agree with the “The Politics of History by Howard Zinn” because it displays the fact that nearly every event in history has been done with a motive and has had consequences. A quote from Zinn’s work represents this is, “History is not inevitably useful. It can bind us or free

external regional division emerged particularly between Rwanda and Uganda (Dunn, 2001). The regimes formed by these regions were intended to overthrow the dictatorship by Mobuto Sese Seko on Congo who renamed it to Zaire. Kabila the late president of Congo who ruled for about three years before he was brutally assassinated in 2001 was part of this agenda. In 1994 an estimate of 800, 000 Rwandans were assassinated including the president of Rwanda Habyrarimana by Paul Kagame of Rwandan Patriotic Front
