From the Paper
"The theory of democratic peace holds that liberal democracies almost never go to war with one another. Part of the reason for this is economic, and the theory holds that an open market such as is common in democratic countries. Numerous studies could be cited to show support for the democratic peace theory. Democracies have a common culture, which ties them together in a way that prevents war. Democracies are subject to the rule of law, which is another force for peace as the population is more accustomed to settling differences through arbitration than fighting. America has been held out as the most important example of modern liberal democracy, with American political development seen as the working out of liberal democratic or republican principles in terms of both "liberalizing" and "democratizing" socioeconomic changes. Illiberal and undemocratic beliefs and practices are seen as no more than expressions of ..."

From the Paper
"Globalization is a term that has come in recent years to be applied to a number of distinct but related developments. The most commonly used in a political context and the most controversial, is global economic integration, a sense that has become nearly synonymous with trade. Globalization in a somewhat broader sense includes the growth of long-distance communications and particularly the Internet, of international travel and most broadly of culture. It is not simply that brand names like ... "

Abstract
Women have had many barriers toward the pursuit of political office worldwide in the cultures that would have set roles for women and in the balance of family considerations as well. This paper examines how the potential for women pursuing political office has grown exponentially regardless of these factors. It provides an exploration of women's political participation in the world today. It also provides an exploration of individual regions in regard to women's political participation and strategies as well as recommendations, including quotas, toward engaging women in the political processes worldwide.
Outline:
A New Wave of Women's Organizations
Invisible Barriers
Silence of Women
From the Paper
"According to the United Nations, the first country to grant women the right to vote was New Zealand in 1893. The UN continues to state that only twenty-eight women worldwide have been elected as heads of state or government in this century. Women currently would only hold 11.7 percent of the seats in the world's parliaments. The first and currently only equally distributed male and female diplomatic cabinet belonged to Sweden in 1995. The United Nations is not immune to the distortions of men and women within its ranks having only seven women serving amidst a total of 185 of the highest-ranking diplomats. Between the years 1987 and 1996, the percentage of female cabinet ministers worldwide rose from 3.4 to 6.8 percent. "

Abstract
The paper is divided into three sections. The first two sections concentrate on definitions for global political economy and globalization. The different definitions for each are reviewed, and the controversies that surround these definitions are also be highlighted. Each section concludes with an attempt to arrive at a comprehensive and acceptable definition for each of the mentioned phenomena. These are followed up by the third section, which, drawing upon the definitions examined, specifically discuss the differences between global political economy and globalization, demonstrating that, while the global political economy can exist without globalization, the existence of globalization requires the presence of a global political economy.
From the Paper
"There is a widespread confusion regarding the meaning of global political economy whereby, according to Professor Henry Tuene of the University of Pennsylvania, some believe it to be interchangeable with the term globalization, and others believe it to be so regarding the term international political economy. However, as shall be later argued, there is a distinct difference between globalization and global political economy. As regards the distinction between global political economy and international political economy, it is expressed in the following quote from Professor Tuene: a global political economy, as opposed to a "national or international [one], would fuse rather than separate the normative and the empirical, and would address the main outlines of the future rather than predict marginal, short-term changes" (523). The point that Professor Tuene is making in this quote is that the international economy has, ever since the development of transportation system that allowed trade between nations, irrespective of distance between them, existed for centuries. However, it was an economy that was based on trade dependencies, and a limited amount of capital flow, as Craig N. Murphy explains (515), and not on interdependency between the various national economies of the world."

Abstract
This essay briefly discusses the major trends of the global politics and economy in this tumultuous period of world history. It looks at issues such as the collapse of Communism, Iran-Iraq conflict, the Gulf War, globalization, terrorism and the rise of Islamic fanatism.
From the Paper
"The world politics and economy of the late twentieth century were highlighted by the collapse of communism in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, the promise of a ?new world order? and the rise of ?globalization.? These developments were accompanied by a worldwide trend of increasing democracy, trade liberalization and booming economies. The start of the twenty-first century, on the other hand, has seen the emergence of the so-called ?clash of civilizations? and the long drawn out ?fight against terrorism? with the inevitable slump in global economies."

Abstract
The paper relates that "Global Political Economy: Theory and Practice" was written by Theodore H. Cohn to analyze a variety of issues in global and regional trade policy, theories of international relations and the role of international institutions. The paper provides an evaluation of Chapter Three entitled "The Realist Perspective". The paper posits that Cohn brings complex theoretical issues into a practical and useful framework for the student reader.
From the Paper
"The book Global Political Economy: Theory and Practice was written by Theodore H. Cohn to analyze a variety of issues in global and regional trade policy, theories of international relations and the role of international institutions. It takes a broad overview of the central theoretical currents in International Political Economy (IPE), and explores the key intellectual positions in global political theory. For example, it looks at the positions held by such thinkers as realists (the right-wing), liberals (proponents of free trade) and historical structuralists (the left-wing), and applies these ideas into a real-world context. By offering a centrist position that puts major themes in the world economy into perspective, Cohn allows the reader to relate these abstract notions to concrete practice."

Abstract
This paper examines how empirical research has revealed that there are winners and losers in the global system and how abstract feminist theories based on empirical research maintain that women in general are the losers. This paper analyses mainstream global political economy (GPE) theories especially in regard to economic development (Structural Adjustment Policies (SAP), flexibilisation, employment and how the theory and reality are questioned by feminists. It also assesses the UN's 'gender agenda' and gender mainstreaming within the context of feminist critiques.
Outline
Mainstream GPE Theories
Economic Development
Structural Adjustment Policies (SAP)
Flexibilisation
Employment
Gender Agenda: Gender Mainstreaming in the UN
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In radical feminist theory, theory and practice are not separate but are 'rather in a constant and dialectical relationship with each other. Experience leads to the refinement of theory, which itself feeds back into experience, and so on and so on.' Theory should be pragmatic, practical and everyday; political change is effected through personal change. Early feminists criticised realist and liberal economic doctrines as state centric; women's experience was ignored, and where noted, was distorted. "

Abstract
The paper deals with globalization and the problems it creates for the development of political values and goals in the nation-state. The paper looks in particular at the case of Jamaica which is trying to find a middle path between developing a global character and maintaining some form of national distinction.
From the Paper
"The interconnectedness of the world since the early 1990s has been described principally as globalization. The move to what has been called the ?global village? has emphasized borderless activity, opening up of markets, sharing of technology, human capital, skills and experience, as well ideas of political development and culture. This is not to say the idea of globalization is new, as from the beginnings of the industrial revolution in the mid 1900s, in European countries and elsewhere, trends and traces of what has now been so termed, popularly, has always been existent, but not until the late 20th century made distinct and given widespread attention."

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
The paper examines the current state of the political systems around the world and the effect of globalization on them. It examines what draws others to try to copy what one nations? government has done and what could happen if the world becomes a truly globalized society. The paper discusses that much has been done that has lead to the betterment of many people but considers the cost of this betterment. It discusses too the potential benefits and disasters that could evolve from political globalization.
From the Paper
"Globalization is defined in the dictionary as: to make global, especially: to make worldwide in scope or application. Therefore, political globalization is the worldwide spread of political ideas and customs. I think that is a fairly accurate description, but it does not cover why there is a trend of political globalization, or why it is important. What draws others to try to copy what one nations? government has done. You must also consider what could happen if the world becomes a truly globalized society. This spread of political ideas and processes could lead to a positive or to a negative end. Much has been done that has lead to the betterment of many people, but at what cost? I would like to discuss the potential benefits and disasters that could evolve from political globalization."

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."

Abstract
The paper examines the central thesis in Adam Harmes' book, "The Return of the State", that globalization will inevitably succumb to a reinvigorated political globalization. The paper explains the practical considerations of political globalization in the world today and looks at Harmes' use of history when it comes to explicating his thesis. The paper also discusses the direction Harmes thinks the situation will take in the years ahead. The paper is of the opinion that Harmes' work is a generally well-written and thoughtful look at an important issue, although it is not without shortcomings.
From the Paper
"Adam Harmes' basic thesis appears to be this: globalization has gone too far and has fostered a growing sense among citizens and elites the world over that greater state regulation is necessary. Specifically, cronyism and influence-peddling have both become omnipresent and other problems - environmental degradation, growing inequality, corporate power and avarice, stagnating pay and deep cuts to social spending - have pushed their way to the fore in such a manner that political demands for reform are now greater, more strident, than they have been in some time (Harmes, 177-78). Far from the arc of history taking on the form of a steadily-climbing straight line with the free market muscling aside the state, Harmes believes it is more accurate to see history as being an oscillating pendulum that is now swinging towards greater state involvement and towards more control of Big Business."
