The History of Political Islam in the Middle East

 

Islamic Movements / Secular States: Competing Visions of Governance

 

 

Iranian Revolution in Shahyad Square

 

Background:

 

World War I fundamentally altered the map and politics of the Middle East. The state system, however qualified, replaced Ottoman imperial rule in the form of independent states, protectorates and League of Nations mandates. At the same time, the Turkish Republic abolished the Caliphate in 1924. By the mid 1950s, with few exceptions, nearly all of the states of today’s Middle East were recognized in international law as fully independent states. The states the emerged out of the old imperial order embarked upon campaigns of internal and external reform to strengthen the nation domestically and internationally. From the moment that the Ottoman Empire collapsed, social movements within the new states demanded the restoration of Islam as a central feature of political and social life. Such demands expanded starting in the 1960s and gained extensive support by the 1970s and 1980s. William Cleveland has argued that though political Islam appeared to be a transnational movement across the Muslim world, it occurrence “had origins in the context of local conditions.”

How and why did Europe surpass Asia as a center of political and economic power in the 18th
and 19th centuries?
As late as 1750, the wealthiest and most developed parts of the world were still in Asia,
mainly in India and China. For centuries, these parts of Asia, as well as others, housed
sophisticated industries for the manufacture and exchange of numerous commodities that were
highly desired around the world. The precise moment when this shifted is not entirely clear, but
certainly by 1820, the locus of the world economy had swung dramatically westward to Britain.
This major shift primarily occurred because of a combination of factors both internal to Britain
and in relation to British relations with the Asian economy. Specifically, in Britain, the
industrialization of the economy allowed Britain to take control of the global trade in cotton
textiles, while the expansion of British colonial interests in Asia aided in weakening the Indian
and Chinese economies.
Body 1: Industrialization
– What was it? Technological change AND social change – urbanization, shift in labor
– Why Britain? British ideology – mercantilism (protectionism, national manufacturing
base), British state power (labor discipline, enclosure, industrial demand in navy),
existing competitive, but inferior, situation with Indian producers.
Body 2: Foreign Policy – India
– British colonial control of India from 1750s onward, reorganization of Indian economy,
dismantle middle-men, worsen conditions of labor, dismantle political institutions in
favor of Company control
– Result is growing Company profits, declining demand among Indians for luxury goods
(political courts), and general deindustrialization in favor of more agrarian economy
Body 3: Foreign Policy – China
– Opium trade reverses centuries-long trade deficit with China, contributes to considerable
economic crisis in China that weakened Qing state and allowed British interests to
continue to expand control over southern China, leading to First Opium War 1839-42,
and resulting Treaty of Nanjing

Description: The research paper is an extended written paper about an issue of your choice (formally approved by the lecturer) concerning healthcare law and ethics. The aim is to produce a scholarly article of publishable quality that identifies, synthesises, and analyses the ethical and legal implications of the issue. This involves a high level of critical analysis and argument in which you must, amongst other things, consider ethical, moral, philosophical, legal, economic, political, cultural and/or social issues that are relevant to the issue. 5,000 words (minimum) on approved topic.

I want you to write 5000 words without the intro and conclusion.

I have provided the intro: The conclusion I will write reassessing the whole assignment.

The intro is provided below

The modern world has developed a growing need for organ donations, both from living and non-living donors.  This issue seems the longer people live the more replacement parts they need to stay healthy.  In order to overcome the shortage of available organs, many countries have developed organ donation systems to accommodate the flow of organs to the unhealthy individuals, yet no ethical solution for the demand has been found, especially for essential organs such as the heart.  In the past, this demand and shortage led to the creation of many morally dubious and criminal associations that procured organs in illegal ways, which led to the creation of laws to inhibit such black market trading. These laws which were created to protect the citizens of their respected countries have also put limitations on how organs can be traded, sold, and harvested; hence the shortages have continued and grown globally.

Solutions for organ donation have led to many unethical decisions by countries to feed the demand, and the situation of organ donation by death row inmates is one of these highly contestable issues.  While the act of organ donation by death row inmates is not inherently wrong, the situations around which the inmate assents to the procedure, fears of coercion, and the past violation of human writes in organ donation in the past by countries such as China, have plagued this issue endlessly.  The opposing side shows the pragmatics of organ donations from death row inmates as a tool that essential save lives.  This essay will make the legal and ethical case for the acceptance of organ donation from death row inmates in the country of the United States of America.

For the purpose of this paper, the United States of America will be used as the sample country.  This country holds a unique position in that it has strict rules for organ donation, and it is also one of the few First World Nations that still has the death penalty, though only in certain of its states. This paper intends to focus on the area in which organ donation and the death penalty meet, arguing for the acceptance of the practice of organ donation by death row inmates.  It will walk through the limitations put on organ donation set by the countries laws to show that it is not illegal.  The legal side will show samples of cases in which different incarcerated groups were allowed to donate organs and how the basis of the individual being on death row should not inhibit donation rather it is should be supportive of donation.  The legal view  will be followed by a ethical analysis of the topic with the purpose of showing that denying the option to donate is unethical.

By almost any metric, the 1950s were a time of great national prosperity, especially when compared to the sacrifice and deprivation of the Great Depression and World War II eras. The average 1950s teenager, for example, enjoyed more disposable income than that of an entire average family two decades earlier. However, a close examination reveals that American prosperity and affluence were not uniform, and that poverty and disadvantage still lingered depending on where one looked in society. Why was it the case that many Americans enjoyed prosperity and material abundance during the decade, while many others remained mired in poverty? Along those lines, what factors led to phenomena like suburbanization and the simultaneous decay of the inner city, and what were the demographics of these socioeconomic polarities? In composing this essay, be sure to consider structural factors like government spending and laws, manufacturing in defense and consumer technology, along with social factors like race, education, gender, etc.

Despite the grudging acceptance of a rebellious youth culture, American society still expected men and women to settle down and conform to traditional roles—marriage and family, male breadwinners and female homemakers, women as primarily in charge of child-reading—once they entered adulthood. By and large most men and women conformed to such expectations and standards, even despite the precedent of women’s larger role in the workforce during World War II. Why was there such an emphasis on traditional gender roles during the decade, and why, apparently, did women actively and enthusiastically assume subordinate roles within the family and the workforce? What did social thinkers fear or assume the costs or consequences would be if women sought an existence as something other than homemakers and mothers? Be sure to use specific examples and evidence from the primary and secondary source readings.

the Discipline is WAR STUDIES : Guerillas in the midst, insurgency, and counterinsurgency.
Hi, thank you for the work you are about to do.

A few recommendations for the paper. The essay should focus on Counter Insurgency, not insurgency, and the question is: Why did it succeed? This is supposed to rely on a previous book review ( I’ve joined the file ) made on counterinsurgency in Algeria, and you should explain why the counterinsurgency was successful in Algeria, relying mainly on David Galula’s point of view.
Very important: please be really critical and bring personal engagement in the argument: a Highly thoughtful answer informed by wider reading, that shows clarity of thought, personal insight, and originality. Please don’t be too narrative or descriptive. Bring some counterargument and so on thank you so much. Lastly, our teacher is really really hard with semantic so take extra care when using some words that may not convene to guerillas.

I’ll link everything you might need to be precise. Try to reformulate otherwise it will be seen as plagiarism.
If you have any questions or if you do not really get the purpose of the essay do not hesitate to write to me.
Thanks again !
