Arab League

The Arab Spring has challenged the authoritarian resilience paradigm that had been dominant in academics since the early 2000s. Scholars within this paradigm focused on the lack of democracy within the region and attributed this lack to a number of factors and dynamics. This paradigm was normative in the sense that authoritarian resilience was seen as a negative and in need of change (Lob 2015). Even though as authoritarian resilience was perceived to be negative there was no expectation that…

The Calvin Knights football team has been undefeated since 1879. How is this spectacular feat possible? It has to do with the fact that Calvin does not actually have a football team. And I for one, believe it should stay that way. Despite the many sports fans at Calvin who crave one of America’s favorite past times, the school has yet to assemble a team. Both the Calvin board and others, including me, worry that creating a football team is not in the school’s best interest. The main reason…

competitive as they could be. In effect, this would mean that the teams will not be able to have the best players they could simply because a percentage of the positions is for domestic players, who are not necessarily the best. This could cause sports leagues to lose prestige and money. The Italian league’s case illustrates this point. It permitted only two foreigners in each team as a measure to give more…

Under the current bylaws of the NFL, no team can sell stock or public ownership in their franchise. Unless you are the Green Bay Packers. The Packers are the only team permitted to sell stock, because they were already selling stock before the NFL implemented the rule against it. This creates an enormous unfair advantage to the Packers over their competition in the NFL, and rule change needs to occur (Lariviere, 2011). The Packers have only publically sold shares of stock five times in the…

true? In reality, athletes earn what they deserve because they bring billions of dollars to their respective league, work hard in matters not involving their sport, find a way to manage all their money that they receive in a short time, and they work hard away from games to become better. First of all, athletes are not overpaid because of all the revenue they bring to the different leagues. The SIRS database says that the argument could be made that athletes are just playing a simple game and…

become more popular than it ever was across the united states and the world. And it has been attracting major money like billions of dollars for the league and the schools itself, from things like advertisements, charging for admissions, television stations like cbs , espn, nbc etc. so that being the case every one from the coaches to the staff to the league associates , to the referees get a very good amount of salary. With most of the money coming in from the players you would expect the…

For some, the Arab spring (whether is understood to be successfully or not) certainly represent the turning point in relations in the Middle East. A hundred years since the creation of borders between the countries of the Levant, the Maghreb and the Middle East, there was their collapse. When one mentions the Middle East, it is seen as a huge area where ancient civilizations were, some of the oldest cities in the world, but also the young states of today. A hundred years after rendering the…

how empowered I feel now. HH and I belonged to the same organization, well known as The League. I am still a part of it, HH is not due to his struggles with confidentiality and integrity. But enough of that for now, we will revisit the topic another time. As for my journey, now that is one you want to hear, so keep reading my friends because you are in for a treat. But first you must remember one thing, the league must never know that I am allowing…

with Germany and consequentially the former Ottoman Empire was divided into separate mandates by the Allied Powers. This paper will focus on the British mandate of Palestine, and how as a direct consequence of actions taken during World War I, the Arab-Israeli conflict remains at the forefront of global conversation. For clarification, this paper will refer to the…

not seek revenge towards the Allies (Mendum). Wilson was also interested in enacting his Fourteen Points, which were a list of proposed war aims dealing with territorial and political settlements and preventing war in the future partly through the League of Nations (Kushner). In the middle of Clemenceau and Wilson was David Lloyd George, prime minister of Britain, who believed that Germany should be punished but too harshly (Mendum). Because of each countries’ specific interests, the treaty that…
