Abstract
This paper discusses the administrative structure of the United States government. It discusses the historical background to this structure and its expression of democracy. The paper describes its three dimensional composition of legislative, executive and judicial aspects of the government. The paper concludes that the Washington State governmental power allows for the federal system to provide states with such mechanisms that serve the interests of the citizens and enable them to benefit from the most appropriate protection of their rights.
From the Paper
" The process of election and campaigning for the representative structures is also stipulated in the State Constitution. The Republican and Democratic parties are the largest political forces, but there are also smaller, less experienced parties. The two main parties however, are the driving force of the legislative process; to this end, they constitute a Democratic Caucus and a Republican Caucus in which draft laws are debated in order to forward them for House debates."

Abstract
This paper reviews the competitive forces of the wine industry apparent in Washington State. According to this paper, Washington State is a major source of wine for the domestic and foreign markets, with wine regions that include six federally recognized American Viticultural Areas (AVAs). The paper also compares the area with that of the great French wine regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy.
From the Paper
"California gets more attention as a wine producer, but Washington State is also a major source of wine for the domestic and foreign markets. The Washington area offers several key elements that serve as competitive advantages for the Washington wine industry. First, Washington is located on approximately the same latitude as the great French wine regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy. Washington wine regions also include six federally recognized American Viticultural Areas (AVAs). These regions experience a variety of climates and soils, and combined with the long summer sunlight hours of northern latitudes, this fact creates prime growing regions, most of them found in the valleys and on the hillsides of areas east of the Cascade Mountains."

From the Paper
"Some of the largest Latino businesses have no recognition in the community, Washington State or the United States. Gene Juarez is a business in this category. In the Hispanic 500, large businesses from the state of Washington like Gene Juarez have no recognition in or out of the state. But businesses like Gene Juarez need the recognition and connection to the community. Though Gene was unable to dedicate the time to the chamber recommendations which he thought it deserved, he requested to be kept up to date and remembered in the future. This is clearly an invitation."
"Hispanic, female owned businesses in the State of Washington have a difficult time with business, though they are fast growing as well. The Bellevue Chamber of Commerce recognizes this and has structured events fittingly. What the Bellevue Chamber doesn't have is the Hispanic connection to the rising female businesses. As an edge, the chamber is at the breadth of a completely new market. Raza Mestizas, Buena Vista Travel and Salvadorian Bakery are just three businesses which we surveyed that are owned and operated by females."

Governance Structures in a Health Context, 2006.
This paper briefly examines several different governance structures within the health care industry context.

Abstract
In this paper, several different governance models are compared and contrasted with the intent of providing a rough conception of each one of them, particularly their strengths and weaknesses. In addition, the writer examines one governance model, the synergistic model, in greater depth and detail in order to provide readers with a better understanding of this type of governance and its especial usefulness to managers within a health care context.
From the Paper
"Establishing appropriate governance structures in any organization can be difficult. It seems that every few months another expert devises another new way that organizations can best be structured in order to maximize positive benefits, all the while reducing the negative consequences of previous models. Choosing among these governance structures can be a trying task, indeed. The difficulty is magnified, at least perceptually, when one attempts to weight the relative benefits of governance structures within the context of the health care industry. In a health context, lives can quite literally be at stake. Likewise, ballooning health care costs have forced many hospitals and health care providers to streamline their services. Selecting incorrectly can lead to further reductions in service or magnification of costs."

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."

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."

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."

Abstract
This paper discusses the way in which a strong government can be achieved. It discusses the principals on which a government is founded and the structure of a strong government. It describes the importance of the ruling leader with a strong staff complimenting him and the necessity of a country that can be supported by outstanding infrastructure. The paper focuses on the United States when describing these aspects of strong government.
From the Paper
"The ruling of leader with a strong staff compliments each other, but even in the US a strong leader can bring down the infrastructure. The Watergate scandal from 1972 to 1974 brought Richard Nixon to resignation from his Presidency. The power Nixon received from becoming President was abused and our nation was embarrassed because of it. Sometimes a strong government and staff can be self destructive. "It was obvious, too, that awareness of scandals penetrated deeply into the American electorate" (McLeod 1). The American public didn't practice their right to vote because of their little faith in our political system after this event. Even the United States public has had problems with supporting the government that has been so strong and successful. There after Gerald Ford replaced Nixon and took over during a troubling time in our nation. "I assume the Presidency under extraordinary circumstances.... This is an hour of history that troubles our minds and hurts our hearts"(Ford). Even though the US was going through hard times with inflation and a depressed economy, we bounced back and became again a strong nation. Ford was a man of integrity which people knew because he had served for many years in Congress. This illustrates that even when a leader falls in our system that he is supported by an amazing staff that can quickly bounce back after tragedy."

Shell Corporate Governance, 2004.
A look at the structure of corporate governance of Shell when the parent companies were merged and the advantages and disadvantages for the corporate governance structure of Shell after the merger.
1,687 words (approx. 6.7 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 54.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines corporate governance since Shell became a fusion of the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company, located in the Netherlands, and the Shell Company, based in the United Kingdom. It analyzes the merits of the British and Dutch systems of the newly merged company and looks at how, despite reservations on both sides, the Dutch structure of corporate governance is best to use as the model for the Shell of the future.
From the Paper
"The decision to dilute the British Shell?s dual listed corporate structure is likely to arouse concern among those who feel that a decision to merge the two parents would leave the Dutch arm with excessive management control over the company?s British interests. The British shareholders of Shell in particular feared that when the parent companies were merged the Netherlands system of monitoring would have a paramount influence. After the merger, the member of the board of directors and board of management are now to be appointed by both nation?s shareholders, and the Dutch section of the company will be continued to be monitored by the supervisory tier of its corporate structure, including the company?s transparency and disclosure change."

U.S. Government in a Hobbesian Perspective, 2008.
A comparison between Hobbes' theories and the structure of the US Government.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the ideas of political philosopher Thomas Hobbes with the structure of the US Government. It looks at the topic from three different angles in the following logical order: Hobbes's view of human nature, desire and competition for power, and checks and balances or separation of powers (although Hobbes himself made no room for this last category in his philosophy). The paper concludes that the principle of Hobbes which probably would find favor with the founders of the Constitution was his version of the golden rule, "Do not that to another, which thou wouldst not have done to thyself." This is a rule based on mutual self-interest, and does not depend on one particular form of government for its effectiveness.
Table of Contents:
Hobbes' View of Human Nature
Desire and Competition for Power
Separation of Powers and Checks and Balances
From the Paper
"In this area, Hobbes' ideal probably comes closest to that of the founding documents of the United States, in which the "pursuit of happiness" is considered a basic goal of citizens, and to make those goals possible requires the creation of an orderly government. However, the nature of this created government is very different in Hobbes' ideal than in that of the United States. For Hobbes, the government which was formed by mutual agreement among the people of a given area (again, only motivated by self-interest against the natural state of competition) would have to be one of absolute sovereignty, i.e. a "Leviathan" or overwhelming force, which he believed necessary to counter all of the other individual forces that would otherwise pull it apart. Then, the natural competition for power among individuals would be forcefully limited by a greater power."
