...European Union The European Union is a multinational government body that is changing the traditional role of the nation state and sovereignty in Europe. This Union was formed willingly by states with similar goals and is unique in its idea and design to the European continent. Although The EU (European Union) is strengthening Europe economically and politically have surrendered considerable amounts of their national sovereignty. The citizens of such a state have the ability to choose a form of government without foreign interference. A sovereign state and its government are also able to set and conduct domestic and economic policy free from external intervention. These qualities are the main factors that define a sovereign state and its capabilities. The European states, forfeited some of these aspects of authority with the goal of creating a stronger more unified Europe. These countries have established a government consisting of several bodies. The European Parliament, the Council Of The European Union, and The European Commission make up the governing forces behind the Union. In addition to these bodies are the European Court of Justice and the Central Bank of Europe. Each state delegates certain amounts of power to the EU central government and thereby surrenders a portion of its sovereignty. As states, they have accepted to open their borders completely to travel and trade coming from within the Union. These are just some of the ways in which these countries have...

...the state. And without strong states, he wrote, life is chaos - a “war of all against all,” where continual lack of security renders life “poor, nasty, brutish and short.” The provision of physical security is undoubtedly a fundamental requirement of a successful state; in this sense, Hobbes’ understanding of a successful state is accurate. But economic health comprises another requirement. States must provide economically inclusive institutions for their citizens, which in turn require well-established notions of property rights and courts of law. For a state to achieve successful development, it must satisfy these two criteria. But success does not come overnight; it is a process, and geography often poses significant, though surmountable challenges to successful development. In the end, though, it is in large part the nature of a state that dictates its development trajectory – with success entailing state-provided physical security and economically inclusive institutions for citizens. Many Westerners today equate developmental success with democracy and the politically inclusive institutions and civil liberties that accompany it. But this definition of success is misguided. It was not until the end of the Cold War, when it beat out communism on the world stage, that...

...most devastating times in history. The Black Death was unbearable and horrifying in the mid 1300’s. Gavoccioli was the cause of the Black Death and it began with a horrible sickness that spread significantly. This sickness was sourced from a pathogenic strain of bacterium which may have caused several different forms of the plague. People who had gavoccioli would see parts of their body start to swell and tumors would develop underneath an individual’s armpits, around the arm and leg regions. These tumors had black spots and the sickness was untreatable causing multiple deaths. The Black Death impacted many families in Europe causing an extreme collapse in the Italian urban civilization politically, economically, and socially. Gavoccioli was extremely contagious and this impacted the economy tremendously. The sickness wiped out a large population in Europe. Anyone who touched the clothes of someone who contained the sickness would infect the individual. During this part of history, many Europeans were working as farmers, military men, and craftsmen. Unfortunately, there was not a great amount of...

America has justified their imperialist practices by portraying a democracy ran country that focuses on peace, power, and being an example of peace for the rest of the world. And also by showing its strengths politically with Pearl Harbor, militarily with the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and economically with the Executive Order 9066.

...authors discusses the problems and tensions between Russia and Ukraine, over natural gas prices and distribution, that started to rise in winter of 2009 and affected the most part of Europe, that has not been completely solved until present day. On January 7th 2009 after disagreement over natural gas prices, Russia completely shut off gas supplies to Ukraine. Therefore, Ukraine shuts off the natural gas supplies to Europe, which created another conflict involving other countries. With intense European pressure after a week of debating and arguing, Russia and Ukraine were forced to reach an agreement for its gas prices. This crisis showed that foreign policymakers should not forget that Ukraine is one of the largest state in Europe and they should count in, besides the week economic growth, it still holds a lot of power of natural gas pipelines that runs through it. After the agreement was reached it was set that the prices for gas in the first quarter of 2009 will be $360 per 1000cubic meters, and when Ukraine will purchase over 60% of its annual gas from Russia it will be $200 per 1000 cubic meter. Furthermore, Russian policymakers were pushing Ukrainian government to give up some pipelines towards Russian advantage, due to Ukraine being unreliable source of distribution of natural gas (economically and technologically). With the inside of the both countries political wars for the presidential elections, it was extremely hard to reach an agreement that would benefit everyone....

...Between 1896 and 1914 there were huge political and economic changes that occurred in Italy. There was some progress politically due to Giolitti’s system of appeasing people, however, various different political groups were formed like the socialists, nationalists which show a sign of disunity. Although, economically, Italy did grow between these years with the boom in agricultural industry for example, this growth did not unite Italy as the growth was mainly seen in the North and less so in the South Italy was clearly disunited politically in the years 1896-1914, which we see from the various different groups/ parties that were formed during the time to oppose Giolitti’s government. During these years, many different groups spread in Italy like the socialists, anarchists and Marxists. All these groups ultimately meant more hard work for Giolitti, as they all opposed the liberal state and the government of Giolliti and hence wanted reform. Many ideas like those of the socialists were spreading due to industrialisation that was going on during this period of time. With areas like Milan growing from 300,000 to 600,000 between 1880-1914, it is clear how ideas could easily spread amongst the masses as there were now more people in areas than ever before. This added to the political disunity as the rising working classes meant that people would be more effective in attacks against government. Italy was not a democracy in 1896 so the right to vote was held only by the rich due...

...the majority of the international community. On the surface, Russia has claimed that the move itself has been carried out to ensure the continued safety of ethnic Russians living within the Republic. However, after careful analyzation of the economic ties that bind Russia and the Ukraine, one can conclude that the annexation of Crimea is part of a larger plan to ensure that the Ukraine continues to comply with Russia economically. When applying this theory through the context of a realist perspective, it becomes obvious that Russia is acting in their own self-interest as a power maximizer in order to ward off the influence of western globalization. In response to increasing Russian aggression several countries have placed economic sanctions on Russia and its diplomats in a passive aggressive strategy aimed at alleviating the tension within the Ukraine. The notion of placing these sanctions on Russia, as well as their overall effectiveness, highlights the acknowledgement by countries that globalization can be utilized in a fashion that allows countries to economically punish...

...AP Modern European History 3 February 2015 Affects of Industrialization The Industrial Revolution was a time that transformed England into a powerhouse, which dominated Europe by advancing technology to expand profits and businesses. Economies once based on manual labor, later became overpowered by machine manufacture. England’s incredible inventors of the time made technological advancements in agriculture, transportation, and more. The incredible Industrial Revolution marked a turning point in history, which changed England economically, socially, and politically. During the late 18th century and early 19th century new farming methods produced a vast amount of food, medical advancements lowered the death rates, and by 1850 the population reached an unbelievable 30 million people. Not to mention, Great Britain had the most advanced system of banking the world had ever seen at this time. These qualities helped England develop an incredible textile industry that would challenge the world. The textile industry was beginning to rise due to the fact that the demand for cotton was at its peak; this led to entrepreneurs creating new methods of spinning and weaving cotton: such as Hargreaves’s Spinning Jenny and Cartwright’s power loom. Not only was England dominating in spinning and weaving cotton, but also James Watt patented the first steam engine in 1769, which quickly replaced waterpower in textile factories and led to England’s iron economy. Watt’s famous Steam Engine...

...history when it discusses the rule of China. Before Jacques mentions China’s current global status, he goes over China’s past global situations, mentioning the major rulings of the Xuanzong, the Tang, the Song, the Yuan and the Ming Periods. During the Xuanzong period (712-756), China lead the time period called the “Rise of the East” and took center stage in the Global Economy. During the Tang Period (618-907), China was economically successful and politically dominant. Foreign trade was fully established by that point and territory expansion had gone to dramatic rates. The Song period (960-1279) included the most remarkable economic transformation for commercial, technological and urban economies. At this point, China had let go of some of its militarism and political domination. Shortly after, however, the Yuan era (1271-1368) restored National Unity, political strategy and militarism. Jacques argues that China and the “West” were neck and neck in the race for global economic domination until China completely veered off its track in the 1800s. While Europe and the US introduced industrial economies extremely quickly and underwent massive social and cultural reform, China stood back and continued to rely on its agriculture for too long and never culturally reformed.

...laws, and an anti-immigration mentality set in; people had an attitude of “immigration zero.” In 1993, the Pasqua Law was created. It stated that foreign-born French university graduates could not accept jobs in France, it prolonged the waiting time for family reunification from one year to two years, it invalidated residency applications of non-French spouses who had lived illegally in France prior to marriage, and it criminalized illegal immigration. Then, in 1998, Patrick Weil (political scientist) wrote: L'immigration et la Nationalité, a book that denounced the Pasqua law’s extreme measures, claiming that by setting these restrictions on workers, France actually is losing potential citizens who could help the country to prosper economically. In response to this, legislation created a law that allowed for foreign students and foreign scientists to work in France. The issue has become a xenophobic one people don’t want their culture assimilated, they don’t want “outsiders” on the inside, they want their nation to be big and powerful, and they view globalization as something that would weaken their nation At the core, many people believe that others don’t “have the right” to be a part of their nation if they were not born there, and they believe that they have the right to tell immigrants that. “The challenge that is already with us is the temptation to accept as true freedom what in reality is only a new form of slavery.” -Pope John Paul II Islamophobia: What is is? physical...

...International financial experts have said those conditions were crucial to ensuring that Ukraine would be able to solve its economic problems and not need another bailout soon. Many of the conditions, however, were politically unappetizing to Mr. Yanukovich, who is expected to seek a second term. Mr. Yanukovich, whose political fortunes have appeared bleak in recent days, praised Mr. Putin’s leadership. “I know that this work wouldn’t have been done at this optimal speed if not for the Russian president’s political will,” he said. Ukraine has long been caught in the middle of battles between greater powers to the East and West. Mr. Yanukovich has repeatedly sought to play each side against the other, often infuriating both and coming across as an untrustworthy partner. The country has been grappling with a deepening financial crisis that only worsened after Mr. Yanukovich announced abruptly last month that he would not sign political and free-trade agreements that had been in the works for years with the European Union. Mr. Putin said that the money to aid Ukraine would come from Russia’s hefty reserve funds, and that the price of gas sold by Gazprom, the state-controlled energy behemoth, would be dropped to $268.50 per 1,000 cubic meters — less than the $380 Western Europe pays for Russian gas — from between $395 and $410, saving Ukraine $2 billion a year. The Russian leader’s ability to announce a major bailout of Ukraine highlighted the contrasts with the West, where a rescue...

...The Decline of Feudalism When Medieval Society began to emerge late in the 9th century, it was chaotic and uncertain times. The theme of security was once again gone and feudalism was predominant throughout Western society. It was based on the idea that each individual relied on each other, which lead to mutual obligations that were based on a mans word and a handshake. It was a semi-democratic society where the leaders relied on their kingdom for goods and services. The kings and knights even worked together in harmony. The effects of trade, the emergence of towns and the interjection of money into the economy truly revolutionized Western society economically, socially and politically. Many crusaders began to foster the economic relationships that would benefit themselves greatly. Merchants from Italy realized that there were profits to be made by taking their products northward. As they made their way north, they entered into a predominately rural society. They found that trade was hard to establish since this was a very rich agricultural society. The Italian merchants established temporary settlements called trade fairs. They tended to set up shop at a relatively accessible point, usually near a river. Another important deciding factor for location was security. They would want to set up the trade fair at a place that could be easily defended. Merchants could swap goods at these trade fairs using the barter system since there was still no monetary system...

...In The Formation of a Persecuting Society, Moore writes of medieval Europe and the emergence of what was known as a Persecuting Society. In the introduction of the book, he summarizes what he means by a Persecuting Society by saying: “Why were heretics persecuted in the thirteenth century? The question was very popular and the answer with great confidence and near unanimity, ‘because there were so many of them’. The existence of people whose religious convictions differed from those approved by the church was in itself the cause of the persecution. The diffusion of their teachings and the appearance of their organization in the Rhineland, the Low Countries, the Languedoc and the cities of Lombardy and Tuscany during the eleventh and twelfth...

...Wilder HIS 323 Essay 1 Question 2 After The Great War it was clear Europe was in turmoil both economically and politically. In an effort to remedy the post war troubles the Allies drafted the Treaty of Versailles. The treaty itself was flawed due to the short time period it was drafted in and the opposing agendas of three main powers drafting it. The French premier, Georges Clemenceau saw this opportunity to protect France from any further conflict with Germany. David Lloyd George, the British Prime Minister, saw the need for a just and fair punishment for Germany but his main goal was to reestablish trade throughout Europe to ensure economic prosperity. The third main power was America. Woodrow Wilson’s goals were peace and self determination. His plan, The League Of Nations, was designed to unify Europe and prevent any future wars. As for his idea of self-determination Wilson thought that nations of multiple ethnic and religious groups should be able to choose their own political status without interference. French, British, and American leaders failed to create a strong and fair treaty after World War I. They failed to recognize each other’s interests and the interests of the rest of Europe. Despite troubling times in Europe, if they would have negotiated a stronger treaty, recognizing the interests of all European nations, strong and lasting democratic governments could have been established in Europe. German leaders signed the armistice on November 11, 1918. Quickly after...
