underrepresented at all levels of government, however the majority of focus and research on this topic is conducted either at the state or federal level. Studying female underrepresentation at the local level is crucial, because it is typically where the pipeline to higher and more powerful offices begins. In this paper I will argue that the presence of All-Female networks will expand the inclusivity of the eligibility pool and therefore increase female representation in local executive…

Although the Emperor is now a figurehead, the Japanese state remains highly centralized, with little local power. Another important aspect was the development of a strong bureaucracy. The bureaucracy created under the Meiji regime, was highly educated and crucial to the administration of the country. In some ways they were able to carry out some of the duties of the previous local lords, enforcing the…

These musings are then familiar with a committee by strategy for talks. After this, a city board or remarkable board chitchat on paying little respect to whether to pass the arrangement to…

The media often attempt to endorse the misconception that the number of young pregnancies has vastly increased over the past few decades, however this is untrue (BBC News, 2014). Another unfounded view, discussed by Ellis-Sloan (2014), is that “becoming a teenage mother brings with it an entitlement to housing and welfare benefits”. As a result, a stigma is created, seeing pregnancy “as a choice motivated by…

for state and local authorities to only focus on the degradation of outsiders and not the vandalism caused by locals. The notion of "local entitlement" is a culturally ingrained factor that has pushed many San Juan County residents to participate in ‘pot hunting ' (Moe). In 2009, seventeen individuals were arrested by federal agents in nearby Blanding, Utah for trafficking over a quarter million dollars in stolen ancient Indian Artifacts (Berkes). It was only after 2009 that local Boy Scout…
