Political Geography

  • in 2050 the world will still be divided into territorial states and the number of states will be higher than it is today. We’ve gone from roughly 50 states in 1945 to nearly 200 today, and pressures for self-determination show little sign of decreasing.
  • The EU is probably the most important example of a nascent political union, but it is still largely an association of proud national states and is experiencing serious centrifugal forces these days.

Excellent connection to the nature-culture theme. Interesting questions as well. I'm now curious about the Court of Arbitration. I wonder how effective their rulings have been in the past.

Ethnicity

shared by jbasom on 18 Dec 14 - No Cached
  • Public servants from ethnic minorities continue to be under-represented in the senior management of government departments and they continue to be paid significantly below the average public service salary according to Multicultural New Zealand.
  • But Maori, Pacific and Asian public servants are mainly clustered in lower paid occupations and thus suffer from an “ethnic pay gap”

  • “While one might not expect the ethnic pay gap to reduce substantially from one year to the next, the almost total lack of progress (and actual regression) over five years is disappointing to say the least” said Multicultural New Zealand.
  • jbasom on 18 Dec 14
     
    In this article, ethnic groups, such as the Maori, which are found in New Zealand, are getting paid lower wages and they are not considered equal to the other non-ethnic groups. Even though this has not escalated to a full out war (yet), what would happen if the Maori stopped putting up with being "inferior" to the other groups? Would a territorial conflict arise? I think the answers to these questions are obvious because land equals money, which equals power. So, for these Maori people to get the equality they deserve, maybe all they need is a territorial war to gain back power?

    But is it a good idea to start a war? The Muslims and Jews have been fighting for 2,000 years which proves that maybe that's not the best idea. If they want the power back so bad, I feel like there has to be another way to go, especially since wars can go on for long periods of time.
  • bbaker2 on 19 Dec 14
     
    Jocy and Catherine- I think that something definitely has to be done to try to fix this problem, but I also don't think that a war would be the best idea in resolving this issue. There does have to be some other way to solve this, but at the same time, a peaceful agreement most likely won't be effective either. Neither several territorial wars or a peaceful agreement worked for the Arab-Israeli conflict over territory, so what makes you think a territorial war would work for them?
  • jbasom on 22 Dec 14
     
    I agree that a war for territory isn't a good idea, but at the same time, they don't have the rights they deserve. Right now there isn't a war going on, so a "peace agreement" isn't really possible, because there is nothing upsetting the peace. I think the Maori people are taking baby steps to getting the privileges they deserve but they aren't making the progress that they want to, yet.
  • ecahill1 on 22 Dec 14
     
    I don't think war is a good idea, it seems that if the people want equal pay, they have to do something about it. As seen in the Arab-Israeli conflict, it may not be the best idea to go to war, but perhaps the people need to do something else.
  • jennabohrer on 22 Dec 14
     
    I agree with Brooke. Despite the fact that land equals money and money equals power, does a war guarantee that the minority group will gain land and thereby power to be paid the same amount? In addition, a war requires political power and money in order to gain access to resources. If the minority group has little power to begin with, how are they to obtain the resources necessary to win a war? There must be a better solution to this issue than to go to war.
