Â History of the Middle East - Open Encyclopedia

Other countries had legislative bodies, but these had little power, and in some cases the majority of the population could not vote, as they were guest workers and not citizens.
These developments led to a growing presence of the United States in Middle East affairs.
The high point of this campaign came in the 1975 United Resolution condemning Zionism as a form of racism and the reception given to Arafat by the United Nations General Assembly.

Â Charlene Spretnak - The Green Alternative

Green politics in West Germany often entails one faction's or group's temporarily conquering another, which leads to resentment and blocks the synthesis of good ideas.
We have prevailed upon the staff of New Options, the newsletter of Green politics in the United States, to serve as a temporary clearinghouse for information about the development of a movement: Green Movement, c/o New Options, P.O. Box 19324, Washington, DC 20036.
It would act as politically as a party, and might include a fund-raising political action committee, but would not run candidates for office.

Â Polish-Soviet War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Polish politics was under the strong influence of the statesman JÃƒÂ³zef PiÃ…Â‚sudski and his vision of the "Federation of MiÃ„Â™dzymorze ", a Polish-led confederation comprising Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine and other Central and East European countries now emerging out of the crumbling empires after the First World War.
As Germany's defeat rendered her plans for the creation of the Mitteleuropa puppet states obsolete, and as Russia sank into the depths of the Russian Civil War, the newly emergent countries of that region saw a chance for real independence and were not prepared to easily relinquish this rare gift of fate.
In August 1939 the Soviet Union allied itself with Nazi Germany in the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, and on 17 September 1939, invaded eastern Poland, ensuring Poland's defeat in the Polish Defence War of 1939 and sealing the fate of the Second Polish Republic.

Â The New Apathy: How an Uninterested Public Is Reshaping Foreign Policy -- James M. Lindsay

This apathetic internationalism is reshaping the politics of American foreign policy—encouraging the neglect of foreign affairs, distorting policy choices to favor the noisy few over the quiet many, and making it harder for presidents to lead.
Indian-Americans have used their growing political clout (membership in the Congressional Indian Caucus is nearly double that of the Congressional Study Group on Germany) to block efforts to cut aid to India and persuade Congress to condemn Pakistani "aggression" in Kashmir.
Intensity is crucial to the politics of foreign policy today because the public's commitment to internationalism has ebbed over the past decade.

Â Capitales Fatales

In this sense, I argue, the politics of deregulation in post-unification Germany have been inextricably intertwined with a broader reterritorialization of state power in which new subnational institutional spaces are being actively mobilized as the geographical spearheads for renewed economic growth.
In essence, then, the political geography of neoliberalism in post-unification Germany is based upon a logic of intensifying inter-organizational competition on subnational scales rather than a nationalizing politics of solidarity, redistribution or socio-territorial equalization.
Locational politics, I argue, have entailed not only the consolidation of new political priorities and new economic strategies (such as cost-cutting measures, deregulation and institutional erosion), but also the delineation of qualitatively new spaces of competitiveness and spaces of competition and the introduction of new policies and institutions that are oriented towards the latter.

Â Left-wing politics - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch

In politics, left-wing, political left, leftism, or simply the left, are terms that refer (with no particular precision) to the segment of the political spectrum typically associated with any of several strains of socialism, social democracy, or liberalism (especially in the American sense of the word), or with opposition to right-wing politics.
Many Greens deny that green politics is "on the left"; nonetheless, their economic policies can generally be considered left-wing, and when they have formed political coalitions (most notably in Germany, but also in local governments elsewhere), it has almost always been with groups that would generally be classified as being on the left.
The more ardent proponents of radical revolutionary measures (including democracy and republicanism) were commonly referred to as leftists because they sat on the left side of successive legislative assemblies.

Â Politics of Austria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aside from the fact that the states of Austria lack an independent judiciary on the one hand and that their autonomy is largely notional on the other hand, Austria's government structure is surprisingly similar to that of incomparably larger federal republics such as Germany or the United States.
Politics of Austria takes place in a framework of a federal parliamentary representative democratic republic, whereby the Chancellor is the head of government, and of a pluriform multi-party system.
The constitutional framework of the Politics of Austria and the marrow of the constitution's practical implementation are widely agreed to be robust and adequately conducive to peaceful change.

In Brussels, Chirac and Germany's Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder refused a compromise that would have raised the double-majority bar to 70 percent of the EU's population.
Although the dispute, which pitted Poland and Spain against countries led by France and Germany, had its technical aspect, the principle at stake was something that goes to the heart of any voluntary association of political entities: the distribution of power among the members.
The electoral votes of the slave states were a factor leading to the Civil War, so Americans ought to be able to appreciate the intensity of feelings about the weighting of votes in the EU's Council of Ministers.

Third Way politics argues for a renewal of public institutions, a new defense of public space, a re-defence of the role of the public realm in our lives.
In Germany, at least, the key to political office is more prosaic: Do a good job on the Ochsentour (ox's tour), an apprenticeship involving years of doing the legwork for the party during countless meetings, conferences and campaigns, and you might be offered a candidacy (Frankfurter Allgemeine, Germany).
A recently released global study of political science departments from the London School of Economics and Political Science ranked Georgetown University’s Department of Government 16 out of more than 400 departments in the world.

Â WHKMLA : History of Germany, 1920-1923

Even the most peace-loving German democratic politicians, eager to finally take charge of politics after decades of sitting in a powerless parliament, had to make a heart- breaking decision, to sign a peace treaty Germany needed (the peace) but which their conscience declined; it was signed for raison d'etat in June 1919.
They regarded the new republic as a constitution imposed on Germany by the victorious Entente - for them perhaps the most humiliating of the consequences of the Treaty of Versailles.
Yet many of Germany's ruling elite, in state administration, army, public service such as police, school, in the justice system still felt loyal if not to the Emperor so to the Empire.
