Die Protestkultur im Libanon

Libanons Sonderweg seit dem Ausbruch des Arabischen Frühlings

Während sich ab Ende 2010 in seinen Nachbarländern der Reihe nach Massenproteste anbahnten, die zum Teil auch schnell eine gewaltsame Dimension annahmen, blieb es im Libanon verhältnismäßig ruhig. Über das Jahr 2011 hinweg kam es lediglich vereinzelt zu kleineren Protesten, die in ihrem Versuch, auf der Grundlage einer nationalen, konfessionsübergreifenden Kampagne politischen Druck gegenüber der Regierung aufzubauen, eher homogen in Bildungsstand und Herkunft blieben. Zu einer landesweiten und inklusiven Massenmobilisierung sollte es im Libanon erst 2019 kommen.

The Midpoint Paper Series N° 2/2020 December 2020 - The South African non-voter: An analysis

The Midpoint Paper Series N° 2/2020 December 2020

On 8 May 2019, South Africans voted in their sixth democratic national and provincial elections. A record 26,7 million eligible South Africans registered to vote in the election.2F1 The registered population represented 74.6% of the total voting-age population of over 35,8 million0F†. Over 17.6 million voters participated on election day. Yet electoral participation decreased quite dramatically, accelerating the steady decline in voter turnout across South Africa’s previous democratic elections. The decline in the turnout rate of 8% among registered voters from 73% in 2014 to 66% in the 2019 elections was the sharpest since the 2004 elections. It meant that, for the first time since the founding democratic elections in 1994, less than half (49%) of all eligible South Africans cast a vote in 2019. South Africa’s participation levels are now on par with other low turnout countries in terms of its eligible participation.

Weihnachten und Corona im Heiligen Land

Das Weihnachtsfest im Jahr 2020 nach Christi Geburt ist eines unter besonderen Umständen. Die Feierlichkeiten im Heiligen Land bilden da keine Ausnahme. Die üblicherweise große Zahl an Pilgern und Touristen bleibt aus, mit Folgen für die lokale Wirtschaft. Die palästinensische Führung ist trotz der kürzlich erfolgten Wiederaufnahme der Transferzahlungen aus Israel nicht in der Lage, Kompensationen zu leisten.

What's the real deal?

Now that the Electoral College has formalized Biden's win, the U.S. President-elect needs to rebuild trade deals with the Asia-Pacific to counter China's dominance. Below is an analysis of the RCEP and what the U.S. and its value partners can expect from the world's largest trade bloc.

Партійна система України після 2019 року: особливості та перспективи розвитку

Партійна система є важливою складовою політичної системи України. З 1998р. саме висунуті партіями кандидати отримують переважну більшість депутатських мандатів на виборах до Верховної Ради, а також значну частину місць у виборних органах влади місцевого рівня. Водночас, партійна система України є дуже нестабільною. Нові партії швидко здобувають прихильність виборців, і так само швидко її втрачають. Партіям, що пройшли до Парламенту, рідко вдається затриматися там більше, ніж на два терміни поспіль. Динамічним чинником є також виборча система (її змінюють уже вчетверте з 1997р.). Діяльність партій концентрується на головній меті: перемагати на виборах. Поза виборчим процесом активність партійних структур значно знижується.
