Theoretical Approaches to World Politics Climate change is an international challenge that is only manageable through the cooperation of the global community (Bulkeley & Peter, 2015:1).  The atmosphere is a resource that is common to all countries with no one having control over it. Emission of Green House Gases (GHGs) from industrial activities and other machines result in the production of carbon dioxide that is the main cause of global warming. When such occurs, all countries suffer the effects irrespective of whether one nation contributed less or more to the emission of the gases. For instance, due to global warming, there are frequent climate-related disasters that disrupt normal activities world over. Therefore, climate change can only be governed by a collective global effort. According to Keohane (1984:4-5), the most powerful…

Contemporary US Business Society The rise of democracy in the world after the collapse of Soviet Union that was championing for communism/socialism allowed interest groups and trade unions to demand better service in all social, political, and economic sectors. Countries are struggling to grow their economies by exporting some of their surplus products/services to other nations. Free trade policies facilitate business growth, but some countries impose protectionist policies in an attempt to protect their domestic markets from foreign competitors (Baldwin, 1989: 119). In the contemporary society, every country needs the other in one way or another, and thus, free trade policies are necessary. Interest groups champion for protectionism policies with the objective of getting rent from the producers and broader public advances such as quality improvement (Rönnbäck, 2015:281). However, they…

One of the common forms of infrastructures is the transport networks, which apply to the roads, rails, bridges and airports that are in place (Tilly, 2010). The transport sector was…

Contemporary US Business and Society The 2008 financial crisis in the US led to the economic meltdown, an increase in unemployment rate, inflation, crash in the stock markets, and the collapse of financial institutions (Allen & Carletti, 2010: 1). The financial crisis had its roots in the low interest’s rates adopted by the US Central Bank and the Federal Reserves that encouraged many Americans to take mortgages in the hope to increase home ownership. Ofcourse, the development plan was good, but the financial institutions did not apply strict measures in their lending. Financial institutions issued out loans without strictly scrutinizing the revenues statuses of the borrowers to repay. The move taken by most of the US financial institutions were unfortunate and unprofessional because recessions normally stem from increased leverages, especially…
