Modernization Theory and Women's Rights in the African Context
Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Politics - Topic: International relations, grade: 1,3, Free University of Berlin (Otto Suhr Institut), course: Africa in International Politics, language: English, abstract: Women currently hold on average less than 1⁄4 of parliamentary seats worldwide. The range of female representation in national parliaments is staggering: countries are still in existence with zero female legislators, for instance Yemen, Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu, while on the other hand Rwanda with 61.3% of seats being held by women leads the way on female leadership. Scholars have estimated that, at current pace, it would take until the 22nd century for women to achie...
The Future Of Election Forecasting Using Social Media Based Methods. Prospect or Pitfall?
Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Communications - Media and Politics, Politic Communications, grade: 1,0, University of Constance, language: English, abstract: In 2013 Daniel Gayo-Avello captured the state of the art regarding election prediction with social media publishing a meta-analysis, the very first one in this field of study. Concluding after an extensive literature review, that the „prevailing view [among scientists] is overly optimistic“, Gayo-Avello declares three major problems, that have to be addressed by future research: 1) The need to produce a true forecast, that is published before the election. 2) The need to take into account the biases on Twitter, espe...
Die Kritik der APO am Parlamentarismus vor und nach 1968
Facharbeit (Schule) aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich Politik - Grundlagen und Allgemeines, Note: 1,3, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Auseinandersetzung mit der Parlamentarismuskritik der APO von 1968 erscheint mir deshalb besonders interessant, weil ich untersuchen möchte, inwiefern die damaligen Ereignisse Einfluss auf die seinerzeit noch junge Demokratie in Deutschland und den Ablauf und die Organisation der Parlamentsarbeit gehabt haben. Gerd Langguth, Politikprofessor in Bonn und als ehemaliger Bundesvorsitzender des „Ring christlich-demokratischer Studenten“ eher ein Vertreter des konservativen Lagers, ist immerhin der Auffassung, dass die „68er Bewegung“ das wichtigste inne...
Verwaltungsversagen der deutschen Sicherheitsbehörden im Fall Anis Amri
Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Organisation und Verwaltung - Sonstiges, Note: 1,5, Universität Konstanz, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Es ist das Ziel dieser Arbeit, die Fehler und Versäumnisse im Fall Anis Amri umfassend aufzuarbeiten, um neben der Ursachenforschung auch verallgemeinerbare Rückschlüsse für die Terrorabwehr in Deutschland ziehen zu können. Dabei wird die Methode der kausalen Prozessanalyse angewendet. Die konkrete Fragestellung der Arbeit soll lauten: Wie kam das Behördenversagen im Fall Amri zustande, das dazu führte, dass Anis Amri am 19. Dezember 2016 ungehindert einen Terroranschlag in Berlin verüben konnte? Eine Auseinandersetzung mit dieser Frag...
Examining the Natural Resource Curse. Why Do States Fail?
Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Politics - Topic: International relations, grade: 1,3, Free University of Berlin (Otto Suhr Institut), language: English, abstract: The phenomenon of a "natural resource curse" has been observed in various settings and is a widely accepted theory. However, a research gap exits when it comes to the effect of natural resources on state failure. Qualitative literature suggests natural resources could have a negative effect on the stability of a state, however, a quantitative data analysis has yet to confirm this expectation. This study therefore examines the relationship between oil and mineral wealth and the fragility of a state and investigates the research question "why do some states fail, while others do not?". After running a binomial logistic regression, the results suggest that oil wealth significantly fosters state fragility, while the effect of mineral wealth, although being generally as anticipated, is too small to be significant. The results can be regarded as a partial confirmation of the resource curse theory, although the lack of significance of the variable ‘mineral wealth’ spurs further research.
Asylum Seekers and the Healthcare Sector in Israel
Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Politics - Topic: International relations, grade: 1,0, Tel Aviv University, language: English, abstract: This paper aims to address the research question: How satisfied are asylum seekers with healthcare services in Israel? The question is specifically framed in a way that encourages asylum seekers’ advocacy and participation in the discussion, because previous research has too often only talked about asylum seekers’ needs and not with the asylum seekers themselves. Two interviews with an Eritrean and a Sudanese asylum seeker have shed a light on the general situation and satisfaction of asylum seekers with healthcare services in Israel. Re...
