Terms And Concepts

In Political Science

1. Normative means to use values, ideals, norms, as measures; and it is by definition a subjective approach to the study of anything. A brief phrase that sums up a normative study would be:

The way things ought to be! A conclusion of a normative study is a judgment.

2. Empirical means in Ancient Greek, to know through the use of ones senses, In other words to know by observing. It does not start with any measures at all, it starts with raw data That is collected randomly. A brief phrase that would sum up an empirical study would be: the way things are! A conclusion in an empirical study would be a finding. Empirical studies are supposed to be objective.

3. Quantitative is the only approach that can be used with other approaches. It seeks to make the study of anything more precise and perhaps available to be compared. However, when used alone, it is often away for a scholar to use formulae to mimic natural or human phenomena. It then uses probability, to try and Predict some future event or condition. It is an educated guess. It is not observation, nor is it after the fact measurement. Therefore, polls which are quantitative models of how people answer certain questions is only a guess based on certain principles of probability, and on assumptions made by the pollsters. It has no basis in fact. It is -a guess, a prediction.

It is more than twelve months into the pandemic yet some Texans are complaining about access to the Covid-19 vaccine. In Texas, the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine has been faced with several severe challenges. There have been inconsistencies in the distribution of the doses and more struggle is to jab people into their arms. People in the various counties in Texas have been warned of the possible delay in receiving the vaccine. For example in Cameron and Hidalgo counties, residents have been instructed to carry food, water, and blanket as they could experience a delay of a period of up to 48 hours. The downside of this is that it has affected the vulnerable in the society as they are exposed to cold and rains. Exposing some age groups to such weather conditions has an effect that would otherwise lead to serious health issues. As a solution, the Texas government should come up with programs where some members of society get the Covid-19 vaccines at the comfort of their homes.

Why it is critical to view Canada as a settler-colonial state?

You must use a minimum of 4 readings, two of the class reading should be used.

Class readings
Wolfe, Patrick. Settler colonialism and the elimination of the native.

I would like you all to read the materials listed below. The two specific documents/events – The Report of the Commission on Global Governance in 1995 and the September Security Council Summit on Post-COVID-19 Global Governance – are both UN initiatives. The course is not about the UN specifically, though we will talk about it among other actors. It simply happens to be the arena where the term of global governance appears with greater frequency and in which the term has a more tangible/practical meaning. Both documents/events mark a watershed moment in the international system. Both aim to speak for and to the future. As you read through them, think about the notable differences between the two documents/events. Do they capture how you think about the meaning of global governance? Do they offer a credible response to the challenges that they seek to address?

—–Our Global Neighborhood, The Report of the Commission on Global
Governance. (1995). (Access online here):
http://www.gdrc.org/u-gov/global-neighbourhood/index.htm
You can skim read the report but, please, give a bit more attention to chapters 1 and 2.

It is a 3-hour video, but there is a lot of empty space in-between the speeches. You might want to listen to the UN Secretary-General and a selection of other speakers. It is easy to scroll and locate each one.

1a,b,c all form part of a single effort to respond to the global crisis brought on by COVID 19. It is best to read/watch them in that order.
