Paper Title:  How Democracy Improves the Investment Climate in Postcolonial and Other States
Abstract:
This research shows that the distinction between different conceptualizations of democracy is important if democracy aims to create a low-risk image of the postcolonial state that can help attract investment. Specifically, this research shows that the mere election process, without the normative component of protecting civil liberties in the postcolonial states, actually increases risk perception for investors thereby having an adverse effect on FDI and domestic capital. The implication of this research on the chances of civil conflict is important since wealthier states have a reduced chance of experiencing civil conflict, and attracting investment can help promote wealth.

Paper Title:  Globalization
Abstract:
GLOBALIZATION: THE GLOBALIZATION OF FOUR ANTINOMY Full Name : Kleant Karreci Occupation : Municipal Police Degree :History And Archilogy E-mail : Kleant1987@hotmail.com Tel: +355 685647755 There is a definition of globalization as the definitions do not exist anymore. "The success of the term globalization depends in large part by the fact that allows us to bring together in a single word the chaos that followed the end of bipolarity. It presents itself as a concept that makes possible a gigantic waste recycling and fragments of early modern - think colonial expansion (there is a link between the position of Arabs in France and the war in Algeria), to huge migrations that accompanied industrialization, the geopolitical consequences of the Cold War, the residues of which - including the Islamic terrorism - the industrial West has never sought to remove after 1989. The all-purpose word "globalization" allows you to remix in a new "meta-narrative" unifying, providing legitimacy to policies to reduce the rights of citizens, such as labor market flexibility in the dismantling of the post-war welfare state, presented as a new " historical necessity ". The term "globalization" is opposed in this way to the post-modern versions of the world, focusing instead on the dissolution of the great meta-narratives on which the mandatory modern order drew its legitimacy and power expansion. Like all the basic concepts of human sciences, the concept of globalization has a dimension analytical / descriptive, and a political / legislation. The "globalization" indicates, first, the coming of an era in which men are condemned to become "stewards of the Earth", to negotiate, that is, political pacts to secure an air breathing, socially sustainable mobility, compatible with a climate biological limits of human survival, flexibility, compatible with the anthropological bases of existence.
