Business Views Of Democratization In Brazil And Argentina., Engin Erdem
ENGIN I ERDEM Dr.
The democratization literature discusses various dynamics of regime change including economic development, social classes, political institutions, culture and international factors. This paper attempts to illuminate the role of business in political change. For this purpose, it examines two cases from Latin America: Brazil and Argentina.

Transnational Activism And World Politics, Engin Erdem
ENGIN I ERDEM Dr.
Transnational activism has become increasingly salient dynamics of world politics in recent decades.

European Integration And International Relations Theory, Engin Erdem
ENGIN I ERDEM Dr.
One of the most significant developments in the twenty-century world politics has been the foundation of European Community (EC), and its evolution into the European Union (EU). Now, the EU is a supranational entity that is composed of twenty-five member states while it will be twenty-seven with the membership of Bulgaria and Romania in January 2007. The EU poses great challenges for both the policy and academic world. On one hand, the EU has become a powerful international actor in the current international politics. On the other hand, the academic world needs to explain the genesis and development of European …
