Abstract
This paper takes a look at the factors that contribute to a stable government and, in contrast, those factors that inhibit a stable government. The paper also looks at the United States and Great Britain as examples of countries with long-standing, stable governments.
From the Paper
"The stability of a democratic government appears to derive from the sovereignty, that is, the people themselves who elect or choose their leaders (Zoarman). That is their sacred right and duty, their only way to voice out their will. But not every qualified citizen registers or casts his vote during election and, therefore, loses that right to run his own government or air their complaint. The establishment of a stronger political will among the people should put that sovereignty in their hands and fulfill the obligation to vote. That really strong political will should lead them to intelligently and assiduously look into the qualifications of candidates for public office in reaching a decision. The choice should not be left with destiny, the leaders and other citizens. Everyone has a supreme moral obligation to himself and his society to make that decision. Yet, even this privilege, duty and obligation of investigating a candidate?s qualifications cannot just happen, not only because citizens or voters are not inclined to do so but also because the government discourages or prevents this act (Zoarman). It is, however, the citizens? right to resist that discouragement and prohibition."

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."

An examination of the hegemonic stability theory which maintains that the presence of a powerful institution, with strong leadership and the power to impose sanctions, becomes even more necessary to maintain a liberal world economy.

Abstract
This paper examines the theory of hegemonic stability and how it applies to the current climate of globalism. The first part of the paper traces the early roots of hegemonic stability theory, and how hegemons have regulated the international liberal economy through various historical periods. The second part examines the growing critiques to hegemonic stability theory. In the last part, the paper looks at the new theories that have been proposed to shed light on the new economic order, and compares how these new theories compare to the theory of hegemonic stability.
From the Paper
"One of the earliest proponents of hegemonic stability theory was Charles P. Kindleberger, who maintained that the only way to ensure stability within the international economy was for a single country to ?assume responsibility for maintaining a relatively open market? (cited in Lake, 147). For Kindleberger, a country?s ability to stabilize the international economy rests largely on its size and its position within the larger economic system. Small states that cannot affect the international economy are ?free riders.? Middle-sized states that are big enough to cause damages but not substantial enough to stabilize the economic order are considered ?spoilers? (Lake, 147).
Finally, the large states have both the size and the capability to stabilize the international economy. Therefore, only these states should assume the mantle of leadership (Lake, 157). Robert Gilpin further refined Kindleberger?s original formulation by proposing a more nuanced view of the interrelationship between nation states. First, Gilpin challenged the primacy assigned to the economic system by recognizing a reciprocal relationship between the market and the policies of nation states. While states may set rules for investors and multinationals, the state policies, interests and actions are themselves shaped by economic and technological forces (Gilpin 24)."

Abstract
This paper examines the importance of debt reduction in Canada. It argues that debt reduction is essential to economic stability because it creates 'wiggle room' or the ability to respond to economic changes. Additionally, debt servicing erodes both productivity and social programs. Finally, the relative success of the current government's debt reduction and its future fiscal policy are assessed.

Aristotle, Change and Stability, 2007.
An analysis of the philosophical doctrines of Aristotle as they relate to
change and stability.

»

Abstract
This paper discusses the doctrines of Aristotle, as they relate to change and stability and how they are superior to those of Plato, Parmenides and Heraclitus. It also examines his astonishing ability to realize the true nature of physical reality some two thousand years before it was officially recognized and understood.
From the Paper
"One of Aristotle's specific categories of explanation is related to "origin of movement," or what we commonly refer to as "change." This is a subject which the Greek philosopher Plato, Aristotle's mentor and teacher, often thought about when contemplating the mysteries of time,
space and reality. According to Plato, "real things (being forms) do not change" except in the realm of appearances, i.e., the physical world. In contrast, Aristotle insisted that "there must be three basic ingredients in every example of change--a pair of opposites and an underlying subject of change," something which Plato wholly disagreed with, for he was convinced that a pair of opposites were all that was necessary for change (Cohen, Internet)."

Evaluating Business Stability, 2005.
This paper lists and defines many accounting ratios that are used to evaluate a company's stability.
1,255 words (approx. 5.0 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 42.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that stability measures the long-term health of a business by using ratio analysis to interpret the financial position of any business; while ratios can be used to set targets and to measure performance, they are by no means foolproof. The author, as an example, defines the 'Acid Test' ratio as 'Cash and Near Cash' divided by 'Current Liabilities', which measures the ability to meet current debt and is a stringent test since it discounts the value of inventories; the rule of thumb is 1-to-1 with a lower ratio indicates illiquidity and a higher ratio may imply unused funds. The paper relates that the Sharpe Ratio, which is based on a risk-adjusted measure developed by Nobel Laureate William Sharpe, calculates using standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk.
From the Paper
"The P/E looks at the relationship between the stock price and the company's earnings. The P/E is the most popular metric of stock analysis. The P/E gives you an idea of what the market is willing to pay for the company's earnings. The higher the P/E the more the market is willing to pay for the company's earnings. A low P/E may indicate a "vote of no confidence" by the market or it could mean this is a sleeper that the market has overlooked. What is a desirable P/E? It all depends on the investors' willingness to pay for earnings. The more they are willing to pay in the belief that the company has good long term prospects over and above its current position, the higher the right P/E is for that particular stock."

Abstract
The paper explains how the political party system functions in the United States' government, showing how Democratic and Republican parties exist in each of the 50 states, largely organized around the state governments. The paper explores the benefits of a two-party system including the fact that the majority rules and that it promotes stability. The paper also examines issues such as party identification and membership, constitutional power, influence and the the role of the media .
From the Paper
"Party identification serves as a primary source of orientation for an individual?s political attitudes. (Wattenberg, p. 12). A certain amount of socialization and identification dictates the choice of the individual as regards personal partisanship; people become committed to their preferred dominate party and even socialize their children into it. These loyalties and behaviors have become part of the ongoing socialization process that perpetuates the two party system. Habit and tradition tie voters to the major parties, and the system itself with its electoral arrangement and organization supports two parties."

Abstract
Maintaining relatively stable prices is one of the major concerns in all capitalist economies. History shows us that, left to its own devices,the capitalist economies undergo frequent ?business cycles? that typically consist of a period of surging economic growth interrupted by economic crises,often accompanied by the collapse of the monetary system. Alternate bouts of inflation or deflation can also occur if the money supply in an economy is not controlled. Most advanced countries in the world take measures to keep the price stable. In the United States, the Federal Reserve Bank was created in 1913 to avoid such undesirable movements in the economy. This paper examines the causes and consequences of inflation and deflation and the role of the Federal Reserve Bank in the prevention of inflation and deflation and maintaining price stability. It also looks at the limitations of the Federal Reserve in this regard.
Paper Outline
Inflation Defined and its Measures
Types of Inflation
Causes of Inflation
Deflation: Definition and Measures
Causes of Deflation
How Inflation or Deflation May Damage Economic Stability
The Role of Federal Reserve in Ensuring Price Stability
Limitations of Fed?s Role in Regulating the Economy
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Keynesian economists emphasize the role of aggregate demand in the economy rather than the money supply in determining inflation. They believe that there is an inverse relationship between inflation and unemployment (as explained by the Philips curve ) and that price stability was a trade-off against employment. Keynesian theorists have also advanced the concept of natural Gross Domestic Product (a level of GDP where the economy is at its optimal level of production). According to this concept, if GDP exceeds its natural level, inflation will rise as suppliers increase their prices. On the other hand, if GDP falls below its natural level, inflation will decrease as suppliers attempt to fill excess capacity. (Ibid.)"

Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between the post- war prosperity, the development of the suburbs, and the perceived need for conformity in the United States. These factors, while apparently extremely different in appearance, are all connected through the changing social structure of America. The main cause of this change is best explored as that of a need for stability and the new finances that allowed the new American middle class to chase after that stability.

Bibliography
From the Paper
"Crude prices had already slumped this year, partly on lower demand for heating oil, fuelled by a mild winter across Europe and America. But they dropped further after the announcement of Saudi Authorities not to participate in the OPEC Cartel for price hike by output cut. Thus the situation in the international market is healthy and in Asia the crude is being traded around $51/Barrel. In this situation, it is urgent to immediately effect a cut in domestic oil prices to curb inflation in other commodities specially food articles and food products."

Abstract
The paper argues that the USA is a threat to international peace and stability, despite its claim of the opposite. Due to its superior army and global economic supremacy the USA has become involved in matters that have not improved world peace. The paper looks at the 2003 invasion of Iraq to prove this theory.
From the Paper
"The USA has the most powerful army that has ever existed, and it also enjoys global economic supremacy. It claims it is using this power to make the world a better place. For example, its ostensible purpose in invading Iraq in 2003 was to protect the world from the weapons of mass destruction that it claimed Iraq had, as well as to liberate Iraq from its dictatorial leader and enable democracy in the country. If everything that the USA claimed were true, the world would indeed be a very safe, peaceful place, as the world would be protected by a truly mighty power."
