Codified Constitution A constitution is a set of rules that seek to establish the duties, powers and functions of the various institutions of government, regulate the relationships between them, and define the relationship between the state and the individual. The most common way of classifying constitutions is to distinguish between codified and uncodified. The UK has an uncodified constitution.

Absolute monarchy or absolutism indicates that the sovereign power dominated the state and his subjects, backed by the claims of divine right. The assertion that God gave these rulers dominion to rule. By the 16th century this form of government was highly common in much of western Europe ultimately becoming widespread throughout during the 17 and 18th centuries. In addition to France, absolutism prevailed in Russia (Chastain

The idea of national self-determination is beneficial to those living in a nation-state, however, the prerequisites required to make it available to many is too difficult to attain. Nation-states are said to be the ideal regime: a system by the people, for the people. However, things in theories do not always work out in practice. In this paper, I will explore concepts regarding self-determination through its definitions, origins, theories, and practices, following with a number of complications

Western and Eastern cyberspace, and leads one to question whether the stronger role of state intervention in Russia is justified or not. For both China and Russia, the basic idea that “Information Security” is an instrument of state power ”has not yet led to an adequate understanding of how to best utilize it; what interests it could protect and advance; how to deter its use by others; and the rules to which states should

Giorgio Agamben’s Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life is a very complex text presented in three detailed sections. The first section is an analysis of sovereignty, introducing it through Schmitt’s definition of sovereignty as being the one who decides on the exception. The second section is a survey of the idea of Homo Sacer: the person who cannot be sacrificed, but who can be killed. The final section then illustrates the role of the Auschwitz camp, which is known for its brutal murders and

The first one is referred to as the “empirical dimension”, which explains the historical structures of the origin of the state. To me, this means that geographical features may form a state.

The UPR can be related to a political Charter analogy where States behaviour can be explained largely by the extent to which they emphasize a universal human rights approach to international relations, versus those embracing cultural relativism. This is the same attitude that other stakeholder in working to monitor State implementation of UPR come with. For example, NHRIs have an already existing universal framework established by the Principles

Moreover, globalization has resulted in the state not having as much control over phenomena such as global companies, information sharing (social media and google) and trading. In addition to the fact that states can no longer exercise control of their financial markets alone. Multilateral arrangements in the global economy such as IMF, GATT, G –7, as well as multi nation corporations frustrate states through threat of transfer pricing and relocating their production facilities

ground for a new form of Fascism? The intensity of the emotional investment into the referendum should not deceive us, the choice offered obfuscated the true questions: how to fight “agreements” like TTIP which present a real threat to popular sovereignty, how to confront ecological catastrophes and economic imbalances which breed new poverty and migrations, etc. The choice of Brexit means a serious setback for these true struggles – suffice it to bear in mind what an important argument for Brexit
