From the Paper
"Texas has added many economic, political and strategic advantages to the United States. But Texas was not acquired by the simple task of colonization and claim; Texas was fought for and won from the Spanish Empire by the people of these United States. They did not enter this conflict without reason or resolution; they entered this battle for independence and eventual statehood for many political and social reasons. First, the already great abundance of United States immigrants in the Spanish State of Texas, or Tejas, at the time of the revolution aided in the approval in action by the U.S. Secondly, the comparisons of the citizens of Texas predicament to the United States? own revolution also aided in the agreement on U.S. initiative. Finally, the American dislike of the Spanish Empire and its wish to dissolve its influence in North America aided as well in American entrance into the affairs of the Texas Revolution."

Current Political Structures in U.S. and Israel
Conclusions and Summary
From the Paper
"The thesis of the first subordinate comparison is to show the historic significance and structural differences between the political structure in the United States verses the political structure of Israel. This becomes an imperative as both nations essentially were formed to sever their ties to British Colonial Rule albeit in different centuries and under differing degrees of historic developments and circumstances."

From the Paper
"It can be more useful to regard China as a continent rather than a country. It occupies 9.5 million square miles (slightly larger than the United States) but is composed of a collection of regions. These regions are differentiated by culture, dialect and level of economic development and can be quite competitive with each other. China has 1.3 billion people and grows about 10 million per year. There are really two Chinas when a firm is looking at it from a business opportunity standpoint. 900million people live in rural areas with an average annual income of less than $100 US. 400 million people live in the more developed areas along the East coast and Yangtze River and have an average annual income of $800.

Abstract
This paper examines how ?Eastern religion?, also alluded to as ?Eastern mysticism? and ?mysticism? and the occult, along with magic and its many off-shoots, have had a considerable influence on American pop culture over the past few decades. It looks at how movies, books, and music all have been touched and enhanced by mysticism and its cousins.

The Beatles and Transcendental Meditation: Rock Superstars Dipping into an Ancient Mysticism to find Peace in a World Drenched in Chaos and Materialism

From the Paper
"For many people who came of age and got into rock music in the 1960s and 1970s, and perhaps smoked some marijuana and even experimented with LSD, their interest in eastern religion and mysticism began with the Beatles? fascination with ? and association with ? the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. It was John Lennon and George Harrison, in particular, who embraced the Maharishi in the late 1970s and early 1980s, in the town of Rishikesh, deep in the Himalayan foothills of northern India. The media clamored for photos of the Beatles hanging out and drinking in the good vibes of this holy man in white robes who preached peace through self-awareness and higher consciousness through meditation."

The U.S. Supreme Court and Politics, 1998.
A discussion of the various topics that the U.S. Supreme Court deals with.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
A detailed examination of the U.S. Supreme court and the type of matters it addresses. The author argues that issues of politics and political controversies should be taken into account by the supreme court as often they form constitutional issues, and supports this view by emphasizing the chief objective of the U.S. supreme court: to preserve the principles and rights guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution. The paper includes an analysis of various politicians and an explanation of the roles of the supreme court and judiciary.
From the Paper
"When political beliefs and thoughts evolve into law, often times, constitutional issues arise alongside. Although the U.S. Supreme Court has the license to decide whether or not to adjudicate matters involving hot political topics, past history has indicated that the Court has not been inclined to evade such questions, but rather, to thoroughly delve into such controversies. As a staunch Federalist, Alexander Hamilton had strong beliefs and ideas as to how the infant U.S. government should be set up and efficiently run. As opposed to Thomas Jefferson?s notions on the importance of strong state governments, Hamilton believed in the superiority of a powerful central government body. He set forth his political views in the Federalist papers, examining all aspects of government and focusing on the role of the judicial branch in numbers 78, 79 and 80."

Abstract
As fiscal year 2004 budget proposals are clogging up the legislative hopper, this paper reviews the Bush administration's foreign aid policies and payouts. It looks at how Bush?s conservative political philosophy effects foreign aid and why it is nearly impossible to reach an approximate figure on total U.S. foreign aid disbursements.
From the Paper
"To begin with, how much does the U.S. spend on foreign aid? According to the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB, 2002), the U.S. government poured some $23 billion into international assistance programs of one kind or another last year. Of that, $9.9 billion was ?official development assistance? to foreign nations; $12.7 billion went for ?other government assistance? to foreign nations. But those numbers do not reflect the $9.3 billion that it costs to run the U.S. Department of State (which interacts with foreign governments at many levels), nor do the numbers include the billions in secret military hardware and technologies given to nations ?friendly? to the U.S. by the Bush Administration. After all, when it comes to definitions, foreign ?aid? is foreign aid whether it is rice, milk, medical supplies, equipment for drilling wells for fresh water in Africa munitions for the Columbian government to do battle with drug lords, or millions to oil drilling companies to restart Iraqi energy facilities."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The culture of the politics of the United States of America is as diverse as the composition of its population. With a wide range of citizens from virtually every nation and culture around the world as well as myriads of citizens in different economic situations, one is likely to envision different viewpoints of politics from each of these groups. There are many reasons for the different viewpoints of politics. Firstly, the nature of the United States is for political freedom for all. People come to America from around the world to experience the freedoms granted by the Constitution to all citizens. Many arrive with certain premonitions of the nation that play a role in their political viewpoints and stances. Often, these viewpoints about the United States and its politics are widespread among the group and often specifically taught to the young."

The Canadian State as a Racist Political Culture, 2008.
This paper discusses the development of the Canadian state as a racist political culture.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that in Canada in the early 21st century there is the widespread belief that racism is largely a concern of other countries given such state policies as multiculturalism. This being said, this essay argues, through the critical examination of scholarly texts on the subject, that, in fact, the development of Canada as a racist political culture defines the fundamental institutions of the Canadian state to the present day. The writer maintains that when Canada is considered in terms of its historical development, in terms of its policy making - as in the case of multiculturalism - or in terms of its political culture manifested in the mass media and the economy, there exists overwhelmingly evidence in support of the contention that Canada is a fundamentally racist political culture.
From the Paper
"Consider, for example, the unrest that has often erupted in Canada between Aboriginals and the government/land developers who are seeking to build on sacred Aboriginal lands. Even if we set aside the issue that all of the North American continent itself originally belonged to the ancestors of these Aboriginals, the fact that it has been so difficult for these First Nations to enforce their treaty rights through the courts that they must resort to peaceful civil disobedience is evidence of the radical inequality in the Canadian social, political and economic systems. Indeed, as the conflicts years ago at Akwasasne and Oka, dissent and civil disruption appear to be the only way that marginalized populations can make their case in the public arena given that they are effectively dispossessed."

From the Paper
"The radical political historian would be correct to argue that the major dynamic of the dominant political culture is an ingenious system of social control. However it is also likely that the political solution which the radical political historian would offer to cure this situation would only reinforce the status quo he is attempting to modify.
The transition from a more entrepreneurial capitalism to one which is more monopolist took place during the 1900 to 1920 period. ... argued that Yankee science and government authority could and should be used to place "our businessmen and producers under the stimulation of a constant necessity to be efficient, economic and enterprising" Thus, in 1900 General Electric opened the ...

Abstract
This paper analyses public opinion of the Ukrainians towards political and economic changes in Ukraine during the first decade of transformation (1991-1999). The paper assumes that the economic crisis is a serious precondition for the emergence of anti-democratic attitudes in Ukraine. It reveals that there are serious problems with democratisation in Ukraine and how the general economic, political and social disorientation helped the elites to implement ?partial reforms? only, which were beneficial for their private gains. It also looks at how the low level of people?s political participation, undeveloped civil society and general mass ignorance paralysed society, prevented the population from playing an active economic and political role, despite of high protest potential.

From the Paper
"When the countries of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union proclaimed the revolutionary programs of democratic and market development, they had ambitions to repeat the successful Western models of development. As some scholars admit (Ray, 1995), these programs were not original because they were designed to rectify a distance with the highly developed West, where a tandem of democracy and market economy already proved the successful results. However, the first decade of the transformation revealed many problems. The outcomes of the beginning of the transformation were problematic in the economic sphere: the mix of economic hardships, deterioration of the standards of life, the weak role of the state in establishment of the proper regulatory base for the market economy."

Abstract
A look at Malay political culture from the perspectives of Anthony Milner. The author investigates the Malay political experiences, traditions and customs and analyzes these from the Milner's point of view that political relationships in Malay are based on leadership and support.
From the Paper
"Anthony Milner?s central point in his examination of kerajaan is that the key to understanding political motivation must involve an understanding of differing political experience. European observers often saw political relationships in Malay societies as being based on accumulation and distribution of wealth, whereas to Milner the process had a deeper political motivation; to gain supporters."
