From the Right to Development to the Rights-Based Approach By postulating that development programs and programs by definition constitute an implementation of human rights, the difference between a service-based and rights-based approach to development is obscured Realization that processes by which development aims are pursued should themselves respect and fulfil human rights
If a rights-based approach to development means empowering marginalised groups, challen ging oppression and exclusion, and changing power relations,much of this task lies outside the legal arena, falling squarely in thepolitical realm.

It is not because of a lack in the prerequisites of democratization, many regions have been able to make the transition with the same disadvantages 4 factors explain the robust authoritarianism regarding the coercive apparatus: 1) fiscal health of the coercive apparatus (access to petroleum, gas, geostrategic, locational and secondary rents), rentier state 2) maintenance of international support network (e.g. in Bahrain) 3) low level of institutionalization of the coercive apparatus (if the coercive apparatus is patrimonially organized rather than institutionalized, it is likely to be less receptive to the idea of regime change) 4) low level of popular mobilization |

postcommunism first strong democractic state regulation, then markets Linz and Stepan argued that to make democracy and market reforms compatible, the goal of reforms should be to create the conditions for the orderly politicizing and regulating of economic action. he reforms should start with state building under democratic conditions and later build a functioning market economy on these foundations That was exactly the opposite of what the than dominant neoliberal paradigm suggested: depoliticizing the economy and making it a private business. wenty years after starting economic and political transformations, only those countries in which in the 1990s issues of economic transformation and regulation were politicized and decided in a democratic political framework have regulatory states com- parable to Western standards |

Money politics south Korea corruption First, the mutual- hostage situation in Korea was a key factor in keeping corruption from spinning out of control.

end of history Islam, democracy and politicla Islamism: The Mulism world in the 'third wave of democratization' has been an exeption.

The reason this has been politicized is because of the connection between democratization and WMDs. Democracy at the international level: gulf between Europe and the U.S over the Iraq war. The United Nations is part of the solution, but not the complete solution to create democratic accountability between states Autonomy of politics: political institutions need to be create before economic development can happen. |
