Policy gridlock versus policy shift in gun politics: a comparative Veto Player Analysis of Gun Control Policies in the United States and Canada / Kamal, Rifat Darina   Journal Article
Kamal, Rifat Darina Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Why do major events of gun violence (i.e., mass shootings) lead to incremental change or no federal legislative change at all in the United States while major events of gun violence have resulted in large-scale legislative changes in Canada? Exploring the complexities involved in this compelling question, this article conducts a comparative analysis of recent gun control policy gridlock and shift in these two countries. We concentrate on two mass shooting cases in each country: the Columbine (1990) and Sandy Hook (2012) massacres in the United States and the École Polytechnique Massacre (1989) and Concordia Shooting (1992) in Canada. We use veto player theory to gain insights into why tightening gun policy is so difficult to implement in the United States while Canada often follows up with policy transformations after a focusing event. This theory informs the central argument that the key factors underpinning the divergent policy outcomes on gun control issues in both countries involve differences in the structure of government/institutional design and the role and power of interest groups in each case.

Trump and the ascension of Western realism : a critical discussion on the western realists’ and western liberalists’ evaluation of globalisation / Kamal, Rifat Darina   Journal Article
Kamal, Rifat Darina Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The Western realists and Western liberalists evaluate the universal interdependence and globalisation from distinct political and theoretical standpoints. This article critically examines Western realism and Western liberalism—the two genetic theoretical streams that comprise a converse version of the globalisation of world politics. It exemplifies the effects, the impacts, the benefits and the challenges of globalisation from different angles—not from a particular aspect. In addition, it attempts to critically explicate the role of the Trump administration in order to understand this regime’s motive towards globalisation.
