    Georgia Compare And Contrast Essay

    Turkey and Georgia both have semi-presidential systems. A large difference between the two Governments is the amount of power the president holds. In Georgia, the majority of the power resides with the prime minister. The prime minister is the head of government with full executive authority over domestic and foreign affairs. The president is the head of state, but cannot legislate nor propose a state budget. By implementing these stipulations for the president, Georgia has decreased the corruption that is found within this branch. (3) Whereas, in Turkey the president has been directing them to a more authoritarian rule. He is cracking down on peaceful protesters, removing judges and prosecutors that disagree with him, and replacing the government with one that puts religion at the center of the people’s lives. (4) Although the prime minister holds the most power in the government the current president is trying to change that. He has tightened his grip on the judiciary, and implemented more restrictions on the media. He is also trying to pass a constitutional amendment that will give the president more power than the prime minister.…

    Summary: An Argument For African Self Rule

    In Chapter 7 we read about the forming of a self- government for the Fante, a people from the western coast of Africa. This chapter is very interesting to me because it focuses on the viewpoints of the Fante people. In the source, An Argument for African Self-Rule, James Afrikanus Horton tells the British people that the Fante were in fact “civilized” enough to self-govern, a lot of Fante were in fact educated in schools in England and Scotland, and those educated at western schools in the native land were just as bright. He is also telling African readers to takes steps toward self-governing. He then begins to give recommendations to the British for the specific situation of the Fante. Horton believed that the Fante still needed British help even though they were “civilized” enough to govern themselves because of the impending threat of an attack by the neighboring Asante to the north.…

    Although the parties in this case all have respective BATNAs, none are very good and would lead to a “lose-lose” proposition.

However, this would lead to risks such as project delays, increases in budget, lost revenue and diminished reputation in other foreign countries. Also, it would lead to a bad public relations image for the company. Therefore, the Mouse BATNA is very weak and it is in their best interest to find and agreement that satisfies all parties.…
