How does this challenge Classical Liberalism?
essay should be approximately equivalent to 5 pages for each question, double spaced, 12 point type, Times New Roman Font . Some IPE theorists that Mercantilism is inevitable. Explain what is meant by this and illustrate with examples from class, the text and readings. How does this challenge Classical Liberalism? Does this imply that no efforts should be made to curtail or mitigate Mercantilist policies? In addressing this issue, be sure to distinguish between aggressive and benign Mercantilism. Are there points on which Interventionist Liberals and Mercantilists might agree? 2. In class I asserted that there is much in constructivist approaches to IPE that is both good and original, but unfortunately, much of what is original is not good and much of what is good is not particularly original. What did I mean? Critically evaluate my statement by explaining the following: What is IPE? What is constructivism? To what degree does constructivism branch out in new directions from the three major paradigms of IPE: Liberalism, Realism/Mercantilism, and Historical Structuralism? To what degree does it incorporate the insights of these perspectives? 3. Trace the evolution of Marxist critiques of capitalism and globalization from Marxs original formulation, Lenins theory of Imperialism, World Systems theory and Gramscis theory of ideological hegemony. To what degree are these ideas consistent or inconsistent with Realism? How they challenge Classical Liberalism? How do they challenge Interventionist Liberalism? Are there ways it could be consistent with Interventionist Liberalism?

Is American democracy healthy?
Background InformationThe United States of America is in the throes of perhaps the most significant transformation of the economy and society since the Industrial Revolution. Our increasing technology economy has supplanted forms of work that once relied on strong backs and lots of employees. Jobs that were once abundant no longer exist and jobs we cant even imagine may be part of tomorrows workplace. Lost with many of the jobs are living wages that provided families with middle-income comforts. At the other end of the emergent economy are the newly rich, those who harness technology to produce vast wealth.These economic changes have also fueled immigration, as the US demands workers at the high end of the knowledge spectrum (doctors, scientists, engineers) and at the lower end of the skill scale (construction, housekeeping, hospitality staff). The demographic diversification of the US is altering prevailing patterns of status and hierarchies. Greater inclusion in the American Dream is a positive outcome for many, however, the rise of white nationalism serves to remind us that dislocations can feed prejudice and discrimination against the others in our society.During the course of these transformations, wealth and power have become increasingly concentrated and unequally distributed. The gap between the rich and the rest of us is wider today than at any other point in recent American history. Political science research confirms what many Americans have suspected for a long time: elected officials respond to the interests of the wealthy and corporations. The major institutions of government are viewed unfavorably by Americans: according to recent Gallup.com surveys, 78% disapproved of the job Congress is doing while 58% disapproved of the job President Trump is doing. Further frustrating public impressions of the work of the federal government is the strident partisan differences between Democrats and Republicans. Without bipartisan compromises, little policy making gets done in Washington D.C.What does all of this mean for American government and politics? Some of the social problems exacerbated by transformations and dysfunctions include:Diminished confidence in political and economic processesStark disagreements over the distribution of resources, goods, and servicesFurther concentration of political and economic power Increasing polarization and clashes over the purpose and role of government in societyIs American democracy healthy?
