...Instructor Date Critically discuss the securitization theory – using the case study of War on terror in Afghanistan (2001-2012) Introduction Security study was in the past regarded as a sub-discipline of international relations underpinned in Anglo-American thinking. Until early 1990s, security studies were considered as a strategic studies focusing on a strong military focus. This traditional view of security involved the protection of the state and a scientific agenda to secure the state from definable threats and maintain the status quo. This is a positivist approach which was based on rationalism and realism. The Copenhagen School presented an alternative view of security studies by responding to the traditional approach of forming a clear sense of ‘what is security’. This approach is defined in three mechanisms: development of sectors approach to security, developing a regional focus on security and critically engendering a social constructivist theory of security through securitization studies. This theory will be the main focus of this discussion. To achieve a critical discussion of what securitization really entails, this paper will use the case study of USA’s war on terrorism in Afghanistan. The approach used by the US government to fight against terrorism in Afghanistan and Iraq can be considered as a securitization approach which has led to a resulted in security problems in the two countries rather than solving the issue. Securitization of USA’s war on Afghanistan...

...in power toward the Executive. Questioning if war gives the president increased influence over members of Congress (MC), the authors hypothesize that MC will shift toward the president’s ideology at the outset of conflict, and shift away from that ideology upon war termination (Howell and Rogowski 2013, 151). The study attempts to fill gaps in the literature concerning presidential power and Congressional ideological stability, and finds evidence supporting the theory that war has measurable impact on MC voting behavior related to presidential ideology.

...systems such as in some European nations and many of their former colonies, which use titles such as President of the Regional Council in France and Minister-President in Germany, where in some states there are governorates (German: Regierungsbezirke) as sub-state administrative regions. Other countries using different titles for sub-national units include Spain and Switzerland. The title also lies, historically, to executive officials acting as representatives of a chartered company which has been granted exercise of sovereignty in a colonial area, such as the British HEIC or the Dutch VOC. These companies operate as a major state within a state with its own armed forces. There can also be non-political governors: high ranking officials in private or similar governance such as commercial and non-profit management, styled governor(s), who simply govern an institution, such as a corporation or a bank. For example, in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries there are prison governors ("warden" in the United States), school governors and bank governors. The Role of a Governor is different with respect to different Constitutions. In case of the Republic Nations, the role of the Governor may have different connotations. The role is generally classified into two sub roles. They are: 1. The Constitutional role and 2. The Ceremonial role. The object of this study is to understand both the forms of roles and...

...an officeholder may serve in a particular elected office. When term limits are found in presidential and semi-presidential systems they act as a method to curb the potential for monopoly, where a leader effectively becomes "president for life". This is intended to protect a democracy from becoming a de facto dictatorship. Sometimes, there is an absolute limit on the number of terms an officeholder can serve, while, in other cases, the restrictions are merely on the number of consecutive terms. The United States placed a limit of two terms on its presidency by means of the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution in 1951. There are no term limits for Vice Presidency, Representatives, Senators and Supreme Court...

President Kobayashi appointed a task force to consider the issue of fringe benefits. She could have asked the university’s human resources department to design a plan. The appointed task force to reduce expenditures and design a new package for the fringe benefit package offered to faculty and staff of Medford University.

...Case Study: “Crosby Manufacturing Corporation”, PMCS * Write a brief synopsis This case study deals with the Crosby Manufacturing Corporation. The president (Wilfred Livingston) of the company realized that they were losing their competitive edge due to their out-dated management cost and control system. When Wilfred became president he had two major phases he wanted to implement; 1) Employee reorganization 2) an improved MCCS policy. To initiate the latter phase, Wilfred called a meeting with department managers from project management, cost accounting, MIS, data processing, and planning. He expressed how the current system was not sufficient and capable of supporting the company. The managers weighed in with appropriate lists, preliminary schedules, suggestions and opinions that were valid. Wilfred also added that he was going to appoint Tim Emary as project manager due to his wealth of knowledge pertaining to planning. * Did Livingston make any mistakes initially? How do you think the functional employees feel? Are there other alternatives? I do not think Livingston made any mistakes initially? When he became president one of the company’s goals was to obtain large government contracts. Wilfred knew that government agencies preferred companies with customer focal point policy and that the matrix structure provided that policy. I believe the functional employees didn’t like the restructuring that occurred when Wilfred became president. The average person does not...

...INTRODUCTION Background of the Case Study of the UNITES STATES POSTAL SERVICE The evolution of the United States Postal Service is interlaced with the history of our federal government. Today, the Postal Service is the second largest civilian employer in the United States. It has over 700,000 employees, affects an economy that employs 9 million people and represents 8% of the United States gross domestic product in a $900 billion mailing industry (United States Postal Service [USPS], 2002b). This organization reaches every United States household and its operations are often perceived as an indication of the efficiency of the entire federal government as a whole. After the historic gridlock of the Chicago Post Office in 1966, Postmaster General Lawrence O’Brien sought the political support of President Johnson for systemic change in the organization. President Johnson formed a “blue ribbon” commission of well-known business leaders and academia’s to study the Post Office Department. Their mission was to recommend how to change the Post Office Department and to also describe the best governmental organization model for its function. The President’s Commission on Postal Organization (Commonly called the Kappel Commission after its Chairman) presented the President with a plan in 1968, which lead to congressional testimony, but legislative action did not soon follow. Various factions, including the strong postal unions representing 740,000 votes, opposed the government corporation...
