"Economic theory as traditionally advanced leads to the conclusion that, under competitive conditions, trade and foreign investment are likely to promote the economic development of poor countries or, as they are commonly called, lesser-developed countries (LDCs). Trade provides a market for primary commodities, the food and raw material exports of poor countries, in which the international competitive position of the LDC is strong. As the developed countries deplete their material resources, they become increasingly dependent on underdeveloped countries' commodity exports. The export revenues can be used to finance the imports of capital equipment needed to increase productivity in agriculture and industry. With the passage of ... "

Abstract
This paper starts with an overview of the United State's Green Party's history, including the influence of the European Green Parties, environmentalism, student protests, etc. It then analyzes the rise in popularity of this party since the first election when it ran a presidential candidate, looking at percentage increases in members and elected officials and public opinion of the party. The paper credits this rise to the merging of the Democratic and Republican parties platforms into vague and empty promises and also attributes its popularity to selected environmental issues found in the party's platform.
From the Paper
"After years of development, nonpartisan actions, and progressive policies, the Green Party of the United States has emerged as a persuasive political party whose popularity increases every year. The Green Party was formed to defend such key issues as the environment, human equality, and other forms of global justice. By employing actions and policies that differentiate itself from the Democratic and Republican Parties, the Green Party is able to expand its membership and influence on politics."

Green vs. Green, 2004.
Examines the war between environmentalists and corporations in the 1990s.

Abstract
The 1990s, in particular, was a time when environmentalists and nonenvironmentalists came to bitter loggerheads regarding the fate of the earth's natural resources. This paper shows how governments responded to pressure from both sides in a bid to appease the needs of both sides; the Greens demanded the protection of rare species and forests, and the corporations required resources to make a profit and provide employment and food for millions of people.
From the Paper
"Here it is the local Indian traditions of vegetarianism, and non-violence that work toward the tiger?s preservation as a species. The Vice-President of India?s statement underscores the need for local peoples to look toward their own traditions for answers to environmental and other questions. Problems are seen as being imposed from the outside, and thus, to be successful, the solutions must not be viewed in the same way. By appealing to traditional Hindu values, the current Indian government can counter the conflicting claims that some tigers turn man-eater, or that old and weak tigers decimate the small flocks and herds that are among the few possessions of impoverished peasants."

Philosophies of Ecology, 2005.
This paper compares Norwegian philosopher Arme Naess' ecology philosophy called "deep ecology" with Indian author Ramachandra Guha's ecological philosophy of "anthropocentrism".
2,540 words (approx. 10.2 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 76.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Arme Naess' philosophy of "deep ecology" encourages respect for the environment, not because humans depend on nature, but because nature and its inhabitants have inherent value. The author points out that Ramachandra Guha's ecological philosophy of "anthropocentrism" declares that all environmental responsibility is derived from human interests alone, which challenges this "deep ecology" philosophy. The paper concludes that Ramachandra Guha, who alleges that "shallow ecology" is sufficient for providing a satisfactory ethic of obligation and concern for the non-human world, is not rational; rather the concept of "deep ecology" needs to be extended especially toward non-human individuals, wilderness areas and across time and species.
From the Paper
"Assuming characteristically anthropocentric perspectives and values is a defect, we should, instead, assume a biocentric perspective. We should certainly abandon crude conceptions of human needs that equate them with the sort of needs that are satisfied by extravagant resource use. One of the problems with shallow ecology lies in anthropocentrism, specifically the fact that they are characteristically short-term, sectional, and self-regarding. Suppose that astronomers detect a modest asteroid on collision course with Earth. The impending collision would be perfectly natural. Such periodic disruptive events are natural, though they probably destroy most of the then extant large life forms. These times of renewal provide opportunities for smaller, flexible organisms to radiate opportunistically into vacated niches, and life goes on. There is little doubt that our demise would provide comparable opportunities for development that we currently prevent. Even then, we should step aside so that evolution can continue on its majestic course."

Abstract
This paper examines the extent to which German political parties and especially the Greens have, since reunification and increasingly so during the past five years, become increasingly less radical and increasingly more institutionalized. This paper also asks to what extent this process of institutionalization of the party has been more or less effective as an advocate for sound environmental policy on both local and national levels.

From the Paper
"For Americans, the image of the Green Party is one that is at least a little on the fringe: Conservatives tend to think of the Greens as being a group of tree-hugging alfalfa-sprout munching brainless do-gooders while liberals are most likely to remember the Green Party candidacy of Ralph Nader in 2000 that many believe cost the Democratic Party the White House. But in Germany?s parliamentary system, the Green Party has found a more welcome home. It has been able to forward environmental causes for a number of years. However, as this paper explores, its ability to serve as the voice of progressive causes has been blunted to some extent since reunification as the party has shifted rightwards."

Dichotomy of Paradigms in Cultural Ecology, 2002.
A comparison between classificatory cultural ecology and human behavioral ecology using representative articles.

Abstract
This paper examines and compares the basic elements, theories, and methods of cultural ecology and human behavioral ecology and discusses how the articles fit in their respective paradigms and within cultural ecology at large.
From the Paper
"In any field of study, researchers operate under paradigms: often unnoticed scientific world-views that shape which data the researcher collects, how he/she collects it, and what conclusions he/she draws from that data. Two paradigms in the field of cultural ecology include classificatory cultural ecology, exemplified by Tappers and trappers: parallel process in acculturation (Murphy & Steward) and human behavioral ecology, as in Optimal diet breadth theory as a model to explain variability in Amazonian hunting (Hames and Vickers). Both of these articles study indigenous Amazonian populations, but each from a different paradigm and thus with different methods and results. Through a comparison of these two articles, this paper will explore the differences and similarities of these two paradigms and how the paradigms the researchers worked under shaped their studies."

Abstract
This paper discusses party affiliation and how it influences how the government in the United States operates. It also discusses other important influences that exist.

Table of Contents:
Party Affiliation
Difficulty in Adding a New Party
From the Paper
"There are also some institutional factors, which limit the influence of party affiliation by members of Congress. The President and other party leaders may assist Congressmen in their election, but ultimately members are responsible to their constituents first. They may follow an ideological group or a bi-partisan coalition on an issue if it is what their voters want.
"In recent years there has been a growth in earmarks, the funding of specific projects often targeted to a specific Congressman's district. If distributed by the party these can increase discipline and be used as a way of rewarding loyalty. Also a popular president or former president might campaign on behalf of party loyalists, helping out at re-election time."

This essay examines some of the events that took place in China since the middle of the 19th century and that led to the triumph of the Chinese Communist party after World War II.

From the Paper
"The black community of Oakland, California was greatly perturbed due to the failure of Southern white policemen to provide adequate protection for its black residents and the increasing incidents of police brutality targeted at the blacks. The organizers of the Panthers, therefore, aimed to gain justice for black people and dedicated themselves to defend the black community from racist police oppression and brutality. Besides being considered as the perpetrators of injustice and violence against the black community, the police was perceived by the Panthers as the representatives of the status quo and the "establishment" who implemented its anti-Black agenda. Since the Panthers believed that they were fighting the "status quo" the BPP considered itself to be a "revolutionary" party, which was committed to wage a class struggle to overthrow the existing order.

Abstract
This paper explains that Eric Shaw's book "The Labour Party Since 1979: Crisis and Transformation" is extremely well written because it chronicles the decline and resurgence of the Labour party by using carefully constructed historical rhetoric and an understanding of the cultural and economic changes, which influenced the Labour reformation. The author points out that Shaw writes that the Labour party needed to change not only because there was rancorous partisanship within its own party but also because the changing times demanded a new approach to Labour's marketing and philosophical vision. The paper relates that the efforts of Kinnoch to change the radical leftists into a more modern and moderate party were the effective means, which lead to the strong position the Labour party occupied going into the 90s.
From the Paper
"By the end of 1983, there was a major crisis at hand, not only had the Labour presence severely diminished, but also the world was about to see the rise of one of the strongest conservative leaders to ever reign in parliament. Margaret Thatcher's approach to government was very different, and her policies were much more practical in its implementation and approach. As a result, the Labour party lacked the organization and the strong philosophical backbone to do challenge the conservatives. From 1983 to 1987, Shaw argues that the Labour party finally became to realize that if it was to survive it had to progressively modernize its fundamental vision."

From the Paper
"Democracy in the United States is based on the indirect representation of the people by elected officials who are usually chosen by direct vote. Almost from the beginning of the United States' history, however, two parties have shared the great majority of the elected positions from the local level to the presidency. The two largest parties have changed, third parties have emerged occasionally, and smaller parties--that win few offices--have continued for decades. But the existing two-party system has become institutionalized and has added a persistent layer of mediation between the people and their government. There are both positive and negative sides to this system, but in recent decades citizens' faith in the two main parties has declined as the Republican and Democratic parties have had difficulty in reconciling the varying interests of the people who..."

From the Paper
"This study will explore the question: Will the PRI (Institutional Revolutionary Party) in Mexico continue to lose power? The question involves consideration of the outcome of the political turmoil in that country. In other words, will the current and future policies and practices of the PRI lead to increased democracy, decreased democracy, or even revolution from the left or from the right? The study will argue that the PRI will indeed continue to lose power, that political (as well as social and economic) turmoil will continue and intensify, that revolution from the left or right is possible, if unlikely, and, finally, that the ultimate result of the fall of the PRI will be increased democracy, despite that surge in political turmoil.
The background of this issue is rooted in the Revolution of 1910 in Mexico and the founding of the PRI in 1929. As Perl
