Abstract
This paper discusses how throughout history, politics and economics have always affected each other in a variety of direct and indirect ways, for political ideologies are often based upon economic theories and economies have thrived or stagnated in accordance with contemporary government economic policies. In recent years, this close relationship between politics and economics has been demonstrated by the emergence and development of globalization, which is primarily based upon free trade and the political promotion of global business interaction. The paper notes how political proponents of globalization and many economic theorists contend that global trade creates enough economic gains that everyone involved can benefit, as long as the gains are widely redistributed between national trading partners.

Abstract
The paper examines the politics and economics of globalization and shows how poverty and inequality are a result of globalization. The paper discusses how wealthy countries profit from the poor countries and countries themselves have a dual economy of the rich growing wealthier and the poor, poorer. The paper also discusses how in a globalized era, the nation-state often ignores the sentiments and welfare of their citizens.
Outline:
Introduction
The Politics of Globalization
The Economics of Globalization
The Nation State and the Citizen
Concluding Remarks
From the Paper
"Globalization has been held up as a result of technological and other inter-connectedness. One sees much reference to progress and to a so-called Global Village. However, when globalization is examined with attention to its political and economic realities one recognizes a close to imperial project of participating powers that gain in ways that tend to benefit classes with access to capital while disadvantaging proletarian and deprived groups. It is argued that globalization has weakened the boundaries of the nation-state but, in different ways, one sees that actually the citizen's position can be very much weakened according to his or her location within nation-states that do prevail."

Abstract
This paper embarks on an examination of the development of the modern state. It shows how, once the modern state had developed, it played a crucial role in shaping both the economic and political orders of modernity. Indeed, this work goes further by arguing that the modern state was active in managing, perpetuating, and regulating changes in the economic sphere. Furthermore, it was the central mechanism through which the changes in the political sphere were organised, formalised and exercised. A detailed account of the different ways in which the modern state shaped the political and economic spheres is provided and an attempt is made to explore how the modern state was able to do this. It ends by acknowledging the changing role of the modern state and re-evaluates its importance in a period marked by globalization.
From the Paper
"The ideals of the Enlightenment of the 18th century became inscribed within modernity, these were premised on the notion that the modes of thought and organisation associated with traditional society must be eradicated. Moreover, in the place of traditional society, a new society should be built which is rationally constructed through the application of reason. The Enlightenment marked a final decisive break between traditional society and the modern world and this period was charcterised by a great degree of optimism in the human condition. At the same time however new problems and issues were emerging as a result of the transformations, these can be viewed as being two-fold. Firstly, there was the problem of responding to the changes in the mode of production, and the activities of the bourgeoisie."

Abstract
This paper presents a letter written to an 11th grade class in answer to questions they asked. The questions concern public interest; how the free market, driven by greed and financial profits, can ever lead to the goal of public interest; market troubles; and government intervention. The paper offers comprehensive responses to each of the questions.
From the Paper
"However, there are other theories about what is the most important part of the public interests. Some people say what is important to the public is safety and well-being, and that if free will and property rights aren?t providing this then the government needs to assure them. These theories might say that the government should set minimum standards for products and for employee safety, and that if it looks like important business are going to go bankrupt the government should help them so that they can continue to produce for the economy and provide jobs. The public good is defined in terms of job security and quality, and the economic welfare of companies and employees. This theory is in many ways older than free market theory -- even back in the days of the ancient Egyptians, the government set prices for grain and exchange, and subsidized and controlled farmer choices."

Abstract
This paper looks at how the President of the United States is restrained from pursuing bold economic policy initiatives. The paper discusses the bickering interest groups who can successfully thwart economic policies that offer hope to large segments of the American population. The paper also discusses fears about electoral defeat and the frustration engendered by grappling with other branches of government as contributing factors to why elected officials always seem to do less than they should for America's poor. Copies of sources are appended to the paper.
From the Paper
"In his excellent 1997 text, Politics and Economic Policy in the United States, Jeffrey E. Cohen writes that political pressures - interest groups, public opinion and even political action committees - all contribute in various ways to the economic policies that Presidents will enact or feel themselves compelled to enact. Seen in this light, it is clear that economic policy can very easily degenerate into the White House merely offering to Congress economic policies that are insubstantial and cosmetic - and which advance a political agenda rather than a progressive economic course of action (Cohen, 86-132). Arguably, a good example of this may be found in economic policies which focus chiefly upon income redistribution and not upon tackling the systemic or structural factors which are widening the gulf between rich and poor and contributing to high unemployment or underemployment levels."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the linkages between political structures, economic policies, and political stability or instability. The plan of the research will be to set forth the mechanisms of linkage among these three features of modern political life in general terms, and then to explore in what ways the linkages can be discerned in the so-called First World (modern constitutional democracies), Second World (major communist regimes), and the Third World (noncommunist, economically undeveloped countries).
In order to appreciate the linkages that arise between discrete features of the modern political economy, it is important to first understand that the contemporary international political environment comprises complex relationships and forms. That is, to speak of politics on either a national or..."

Abstract
This paper studies the causes of the American Civil War. While most historians maintain that slavery was the main cause of the war, this paper argues that slavery was only responsible to a certain extent and that there were complex political and economic factors which played an important role in the Civil War. The writer discusses the South's waning ability to maintain its army of slaves and asserts that the North's growing industrial power also fueled the conflict. Political factors, including the issue of equal representation in the Congress and states? autonomy, are considered as possible causes of the war in this paper.
From the Paper
"Civil war is the most momentous and crucial period in the history of America. Not only did this war bring an end to centuries of slavery in the country but also gave way to numerous social and political changes. The country had already been torn by the negative trend in race relations and numerous cases of slave uprisings were taking their toll on the country?s political and social structure. While slavery is cited as the most common cause of the Civil War, it is believed that there were several other factors involved. In other words, though slavery was the major cause it was certainly not the only cause. Civil war and abolition of slavery have become synonymous terms as the former led to the latter. But still some historians maintain that slavery has been turned into a too convenient excuse in connection with the Civil War."

From the Paper
"The thought of Christopher Columbus' first voyage of discovery in the late fifteenth century leads most of us to mentally envision the coast of North America and what has since come to be known as the country of the United States. When Columbus first sailed the ocean blue in the year 1492, however, he discovered a host of other uncharted territories, among them an island made up of mountainous terrain and rolling, fertile valley situated between the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Atlantic Ocean that he called La Isla Espanola, or Hispaniola (Weil et al PG). Preliminary interaction with the native Taino, or Arawak, Indians led Columbus to immediately claim the territory in the name of Spain and to make subsequent attempts at settlement and excavation over the next few years. Settlement was finally established in the southern region of the island, in what is now known as the city of Santo Domingo, the largest city within and capital of the independent country currently known as the Dominican Republic (Weil et al PG)."

Political and Economic Anthropology, 2008.
This paper reflects on two chapters in Robert Lavenda and Emily Schultz's "Core Concepts in Cultural Anthropology".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Lavina and Schultz in "Core Concepts in Cultural Anthropology" see political anthropology as the study of power, political ideology, political economy, political organization, social stratification, social control and law, status and role and much later ideas of nationalism and hegemony. The author points out that, in 'economic anthropology', all societies are reported to show a form of material life that can be explained in terms of production, exchange or related material culture, which dictates the types of laws and political practices in that society. The paper states that the study of emergencies, crises or wars tells a good deal about matters of nationalism, hegemony and leadership as reactions of weakness to situations that are unpredictable, such as the strong instinct for 'communitas' that was seen when the United States experienced 9/11.
From the Paper
"Some anthropologists like to study how societies cope with unnatural situations or crises. For instance, if a society has known famine and starvation, or is in a climate that means food can be grown or found only for part of the year, there will be effort to save food for hard times. If the food supply is year-round and easily found, there will be less of this planning ahead. What is very valuable will be guarded by law that can mean tradable goods of high value or perhaps special religious items that no ordinary person is to touch."

International Political Economic Studies, 2005.
An assessment of the relevance of realism, liberalism, and radicalism to the contemporary political economy.
3,374 words (approx. 13.5 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 95.95

Abstract
This paper looks at how the realist and liberal perspectives can be used to explain and provide insight into the international political economy within the context of globalization. It then compares these perspectives to the structuralist perspective and argues that the structuralist perspective provides the greatest and most useful insights into globalization and contemporary international political economy.
From the Paper
"The realist perspective of IPE, or international relations and international economic relations between states, may be one of the most enduring of the three explanatory and theoretical models referred to in the introduction but, it is, nonetheless problematic. Realism, as the current section shall try to elucidate, is based on a number of assumptions which, ironically, are not consistently realistic in the sense that they hold equally true for all times and places. Peter J. Kazenstein implies as much in "Domestic Structures and Strategies of Foreign Economic Policy," wherein he maintains that the globalization framework seems somewhat at odds with the hypothesis of states consistently acting for expansion and preservation of their "power," not to mention for the protection of their national interests (891-893). While this section of the paper will not dispute that states are the primary actors, either within the domestic or international arena, or that state actions are primarily directed by concern over national security and power status, it will argue that within a globalized world the very concept of national security, interest and power has expanded to include economic interests. That does not mean to imply that the realist perspective overlooked the economic component of power and national interest but, that it underplayed its importance. Cohn admits this when he writes that "realists have developed their theories by drawing mainly on politics and history rather than economics; ... [and that] the realists' emphasis on power has most often directed their attention to strategic-security issues rather than to economic issues" (59). Bearing this specific weakness in mind, and pending a definition of the realist perspective, this section shall try to illustrate that while certain aspects of the realist perspective are no longer very realistic, given the framework of globalization, this particular perspective still contains a number of principle beliefs which provide the student with greater insight into international political economy, or IPE."

Two American Political Systems: Society, Economics & Politics by Creel Froman, 2001.
Analysis of book on corporate domination of government in a capitalistic society. Role of money. Economic and political power.

Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
Corporate domination of government is evidenced in a number of ways. Their dominance is rooted in the capitalist system, which places great value in wealth and the accumulation of wealth, and in the definition of the corporation itself. Specifically, the wealth of a corporation is based in large part on stocks, which allow the corporation to expand in size and wealth and not to be limited by the funds of those who started the corporation (Froman 33-34). In other words, the corporation in a capitalistic society is perfectly placed to grow and grow in wealth and size. In addition, in a society in which capitalism and "democracy" intermingle, the corporation is in a perfect position to use its wealth to influence and dominate the government, the officials of that government, and the policies of that government."

The Economic and Political Effects of Globalization, 2003.
The paper discusses the economic and political effects of globalization on the nation state, concentrating on the Australian experience.
1,600 words (approx. 6.4 pages), 12 sources, MLA, $ 52.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that proponents of globalization consider government intervention, in the form of economic regulation of the market and state ownership of strategic industries, as obstacles to market liberalization; the Australian government has been strongly influenced by neo-liberalism economic theory, resulting in government deregulation of the market. The author points out that, although its supporters argue otherwise, globalization is not a natural occurrence but rather the result of deliberate political and economic policy implemented by government. The paper stresses that globalization threatens democracy and the relevance of the nation state, results in fewer but larger corporations, rationalizes the downsizing of labor forces, de-skills the work force and replaces the democratic ideal of majority rule with that of minority reap.
From the Paper
"Globalization is promoted by the owners and controllers of capital; the captains of industry and commerce, management of multi national corporations, financial institutions and investment funds. It is this group that are advocates of market liberalization and market deregulation and privatization, as they consider such policies allow them the freedom to reduce costs by the efficient allocation of resources in order to maximize profit. Supporters of globalization are proponents of neo-liberalism economics. They believe that the market, free of tempering controls, is the best mechanism for the regulation of economic activity and the attainment of increased general living standards. Tariffs are viewed as a hindrance to trade and thus economic growth."
