Abstract
This paper discusses the congruence between government and the marketplace. It claims that technology has changed the face of the marketplace and hence firms are growing internationally and have a further effect on the economy and the government. The paper explains the concept of key interest groups and different theories on the matter.
From the Paper
"Firms are likely to be key interest groups when they are well organized and financed, as is increasingly the case among global firms large and small. This is due in part to changes in technology as mentioned that have allowed more knowledge sharing, inter firm negotiations and capital creation through various means. Some have assumed that the notion of firms as major actors in economic policy is at odds with political conventions including those of international relations (Frieden, 66). However, many also assert as does Frieden on page 66 that firms should be considered central to economic policy, in part because corporate strategies have a strong influence on the development of new political policies and the global economy, and will likely continue to have this influence for years to come.

Abstract
This paper first provides a brief overview of Milton Friedman's and Arthur Okun's views on the economic role of government and then addresses their differences. One of the main topics of the paper, however, is the way in which the scholars actually agree, which is only apparent after scratching below the surface a bit.
From the Paper
"Milton Friedman and Arthur Okun are considered by many to be on opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to ideas about how to redistribute income from the rich to the poor. Friedman is by most definitions a conservative in this context, while Okun is usually placed in the liberal camp."

Abstract
The paper looks at the history of the self-governance movement in the Canadian north and argues that the native self-governance movement in Northwestern Canada has origins dating back to the 1960s and early 1970s. The paper argues further that one of the chief motivations for the movement has been a desire to claim economic independence, sustainability and the power to keep the riches produced by local non-renewable resources in the hands of the community. The paper examines the costs of government mismanagement and how the native push for self-governance and control of tribal lands have been accommodated within the framework of the Canadian Constitution.
From the Paper
"The desirability of self-government has seduced native groups for quite some time - though it is most likely that the actual calls for self-government only really emerged at the dawn of the 1970s when massive social and demographic shifts in Canada made it impossible for government officials to ignore native complaints as they always had in the past. Mark O. Dickerson of the University of British Columbia writes that 1971 was the year that saw the Inuit of Quebec, Labrador, and the Northwest Territories organize the Inuit Tapirisat of Canada (ITC), a broad-based "umbrella" organization for Canadian Inuit that, among other things, called for the formation of an independent territory for all Northwest Territories Inuit - excepting the Inuvialuit."

The Government that Governs Best, 2004.
Asks the question: does the government that governs least govern the best?

Abstract
There are many who believe that a true, freedom-loving democracy consists of a government that stays out of the business of its citizens as much as possible. This paper questions whether a government that does not govern much at all can really be an effective government. Even more importantly, it questions whether a government that does not govern much can protect and preserve the very democracy and freedom that created it in the first place. This paper looks at the writings of Alex de Tocqueville, specifically, his book, "Democracy in America", in order to determine if the government that governs least really is best.
From the Paper
"For most of the history of the United States, the idea that the government should not be very strong and should leave the people mainly to themselves has been a common theme of opinion among both the people and the politicians. It was certainly the common idea of the day when the Articles of Confederation were installed as our first constitution. The Articles of Confederation created a weak, loose league of friendship between the states, but established no real sort of federal government. The federal government it did create had no power beyond what the states gave it. As a result, nothing much ever got done, and the government and the states soon found out that the United States as a whole was not able to pay its bills, regulate its commerce, or ensure domestic tranquility."

Abstract
This paper compares the California Government to the Federal Government. It discusses the United States executive branch, (the presidency), the United States Congress (the legislative branch), the United States federal court system and the federal bureaucracy. The paper then compares the running of the federal government to the California government with regards to its executive branch, the legislative process and the judicial system.
Table of Contents:
The Executive Branch
The Legislative Branch
The Judicial Branch
From the Paper
"One thing that helps keep a separation of power between the three branches is the President's limited lawmaking abilities. The president can recommend laws and changes to laws, but he cannot implement them. Only the Congress can do that. He can however, veto laws that Congress passes and he finds unacceptable. This keeps any one of the three branches from having too much power or influence over the others."

Abstract
Government corruption can have wide-ranging and far-reaching negative effects on both the political and economic development of any country. This paper explores the effects of government corruption in Europe, including the country of Greece, and looks at how the more common effects of government corruption include a sluggish economy where resources are diverted away from societal projects toward government operations. It also examines how widespread government corruption can also discourage domestic and foreign investment, as has been the case in many European countries, including Greece.

Direct Effects of Corruption on Politics and the Economy
Conclusions
From the Paper
"When corruption is tolerated within an economy it can also have negative effects on the political and economic development. For example, government corruption can shift government spending from positive growth and social affairs toward spending on unnecessary programs or low quality investments related to the infrastructure of the government (Mikessel, 1995:65). Government officials often take bribes that persuade them to spend money on low quality investments that are beneficial for personal gain rather than the gain of the country or economy as a whole."

Supply and Demand Side Economics, 2002.
Examining the differring roles of the government in supply side and demand side economics.

Abstract
One of the functions of the government is to maintain stability in the economy and create an environment conducive for economic growth. The paper discusses the differing roles of the government from supply side and demand side perspective. In supply side economics, the government may reduce tax rates to create incentives for households to save and for business to invest. In demand side economics, the government may increase its expenditure level. The paper shows how both have the effect of increasing national output. The writer states that government expenditure, however, depends on revenues, the level of which is determined by the tax policy in place.
From the Paper
"Supply side economics adheres to the idea that cuts in tax rates will lead to increase in potential GNP (Taylor, 1995, p. 549) Supply side economists claim that tax cuts have incentive effects on savings, investment and labor supply. (Dornbusch & Fischer, 1990, p. 697) Lower tax rates mean less tax on capital gains or asset earnings and this encourages people to save. A rise in savings increases the supply of financial capital or credit leading to a decrease in interest rates, the price of capital. This stimulates investment thereby creating jobs. At the same time, lower tax rates mean higher after-tax income or disposable income for workers, so reductions in tax rates encourage them to work more. This results to an increase in labor supply. Together with the rise in investments, this leads to an increase in production activities in the country boosting the national output and eventually expanding the tax base. "

E-Government, Information Technology and Governance, 2002.
A paper which discusses ways in which E-governments can be seen as a threat or an opportunity to developing countries.
6,296 words (approx. 25.2 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 146.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains the concept of E-Government as a strategy used by governments in and around developing countries to use new technologies to provide people with more convenient access to government information and services. These are for the improvement of the quality of services and to provide greater opportunities to participate in the democratic institutions and processes.
The paper provides an in-depth, critical appraisal of the opportunities and threats ushered in by the new concept and practice of E-Government as transferred to developing countries. Ways in which developing countries may cope with the phenomenon of E-government as well as advances in information technology and governance, are discussed. In addition, it also examines the strategies and tools that policymakers use to preserve the benefits as well as to avoid or lessen the costs involved.
From the Paper
"The issue of Electronic Government (E. Government) , with particular regards to the advantages and disadvantages of its implementation and use, has been the subject of considerable debate and numerous studies in both the developed and the developing worlds. This paper seeks to explore the capacity of the developing world to fully utilize the opportunities E-government presents. However, to obtain maximum effect it is also necessary to determine what negative impacts might be and how best to approach them. In the discussion, an attempt will be made to explain why many of these negatives may not be totally eliminated as some are intrinsically intertwined with the benefits to be gained, while others derive from social conditions such as cultural differences, lack of resources, training and education. Consequently, development managers and policy makers in the developing world have come under severe pressure as it is their duty to find ways to sustain the opportunities presented by E-government while at the same time reducing the harmful effects. The paper postulates that this can only be achieved through technical changes such as trained personnel, increased availability of technology and conditional changes such as rules and regulations, social capital, capacity building etc."

Conclusions
From the Paper
"In order to put the significance of the consideration of Japanese economics into perspective, consider for a moment the fact that Japan is the second world economic superpower, behind the United States (Witter, 1997). Keeping that in mind, there are several key economic indicators that show a true storm brewing within the Japanese economy due to the debt of the Japanese government; for example, current figures show that the debt of the Japanese government outweighs their GPD (Gross Domestic Product) by an obscenely high 170%, the Japanese National Bank is insolvent, and there is a glut of outstanding JGBs (Japanese Government Bonds (Posen, 2000). While all of these statistics are staggering, there are some very informative models and theories that illustrate this problem in greater depth; the best of these models and theories will now be presented and discussed in an effort to add another dimension to this research and provide a complete understanding of not only the topic, but also its significance to everyone in the developed world and beyond."

Abstract
This paper explains that Saddam Hussein's main goals were to increase Iraq's territory and to ensure that Saddam Hussein stayed in power for as long as possible. The author points out that the main enemies of the interim government in Iraq are political groups within Iraq that disagree with how the country is being redeveloped and managed. The paper stresses that the aim of both the interim and the new governments will have to be economic growth as their main short-term concern and economic stability as a long-term aim.
From the Paper
"In terms of the main threats to the interim/future governments of Iraq, there will be from people within Iraq, and within the Middle East, who disagree with America's involvement and who do not like the government that is put in place. (It is to be remembered that Iraq, like Afghanistan, is made up of many distinct tribes, divided according to religion, and that, as such, it will be extremely difficult to pleas everyone. The world has to be prepared for what will happen when these groups begin to vent their anger at what has happened in Iraq. In terms of addressing these threats, the people behind the organization of the interim/future governments will have to tread a difficult path and to reach a compromise solution, which is sufficiently to everyone's liking as to avoid such potential conflicts."

"Introduction
This research examines the economic situation in the Republic of Korea (South Korea) in late-1997.

The Long-Term Development of the Problem
Important social goals of successive Korean governments have been to extend meaningful education to all citizens of the country and to provide high standards of health care for all citizens. The government also has sought to improve the economic we ..."
