PRESENTATIONS EVALUATIONS
Srgjan Hadji-Nikolov

I) Evaluation of the presentation on “The political situation in Belgium”, presented by: Nick Meysman, Aslan Jafarly and Irakli Abesadze;

The Content of the presentation was political situation in Belgium, including the organization of the state, language, economy and culture of the regions and communities. Importantly, and in my opinion most attractive for the audience, was description of the Flemish and French perception towards the common issues.

The presentation was very well organised and informative. The well balanced and structured power-point slides were easy to perceive and understand. Enriched animation, data and short informative video, this presentation achieved its purpose.

With regard to the delivery, overall, all the presenters did well in attracting the attention of the audience. However, it must be pointed out that Nick Meysman did outstanding job in a non-intrusive and calm manner. The second speaker’s lack of language skills was notable, thus he had to rely on the notes and at some points was dragging the sentences and losing the context which was hard for the audience to follow. Irakli Abesadze did fair presentation, giving impression that he is deeply familiar with the subject that was presented.

The answering of the questions was quite interesting to follow, the question addressed from the audience were answered without major difficulties. The spontaneous and creative Q and A session enhanced even more the overall effect of the presentation, although at moments lack of coordination in answering was notable.

II) Evaluation of the presentation “Regional integration in the MENA region in light of the Arab Spring”, presented by Hisham Sallam, Mohamed Bialy Alolaimy and Samuel Bezzina.

The Content of the presentation on the regional integration and cooperation in the MENA

I feel that each speaker could have incorporated more photos or videos to show the hands - on type of work they do.

    Dbq Flemings and Walloons

    • 760 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The first controversy between the Flemings and Walloons was political tension. After the Belgian Revolution in 1830, the new nation of Belgium had to come to terms in context of political leaders, but the dispute between the Flemings and Walloons was so strong that no political settlement could be officiated. In Document 2, an American diplomat speaks about the history of Flemings and Walloons, stating that Walloons are impatient politicians and deny tradition, while Flemings feel strong nationality and are better contenders to run the government. This document is supported by Document 4, where a Brussels-based newspaper claims that Walloon control the north, but resist monarchial power, while Flemings are ardent supporters. In Document 8, a French observer discuses the struggle for political power between the Flemings and Walloons, stating that the Catholic Flemings lead a politically dominant party and their leadership demands must be met over those of the Walloon politicians. Through years of battling, Walloons and Flemings still found their selves butting heads in the political arena, but still, all of that fighting came down to one issue: language.…

    From the middle of the Seventeenth Century to the early Eighteenth Century, the Dutch Republic, which in 1648 had it’s independence recognized in the Peace of Westphalia, was an important commercial and military presence in Western Europe which later experienced challenges to its security, unity, and prosperity: in security, the Dutch faced navel challenges from England and land-based invasions from France; the challenges to prosperity came from the cost of wars and fierce competition to it’s trading empire; in turn, the financial stress caused by war and commercial decline threatened the unity of the Republic, as the financial burden of the wars fell disproportionately on the province of Holland.…

    The challenges to the security, unity, and prosperity in the Dutch Republic, otherwise known as the Netherlands, in the seventeenth and eighteenth century were mostly routed in the wars between England, France, and the Dutch Republic (which led to the end of the Dutch’s Golden Age and the start of their economic decline). The challenges varied from one to another; whether it was military conflicts, the shifting of alliances, the decay in oversea trade, or the disunity among the provinces. Despite the immense role these challenges played in the downfall of the Netherlands, the key factor was the disunity of the seven provinces. This disunity was the Netherlands tragic flaw and led to their downfall.…

    In chapter two, the author mainly discusses the importance of processing good presentation skills. For example, people with good presentation skills maintain a distinct competitive advantage in winning new business and securing their jobs. Presentation skills can be broadly defined as any form of oral communication. Therefore, every time we speak in public, we are in fact making an impression. The frequency of making using presentation skills should never be underestimated. Also instead of hoping to “get through” the presentations, exceptional presenters always prepare for challenges and look forward to improve.…

    The most respected theory that clarifies the connection between social contrasts and its translation in politics comes from Stein Rokkan and is exemplarily described in the introduction to Lipset and Rokkan (1967). According to their theory current and also historical social conflicts, which successfully overcame a row of barriers at the time of the introduction of the general right to vote, successfully found its political representation in national parliaments. "Cleavage structures" - the clash of interests and value contrasts in the society - could thus assist in explaining "voter alignments" - the electoral behaviour of the citizens. The central cleavages were identified: the class conflict between capital and work and the religious conflict between church and state. The electoral connections of social groups seem to have hardened; the party systems of Europe appeared to Lipset and Rokkan in the middle of the 1960s as if they had "frozen" since the First World War. From the comparative politics point of view this is rather apolitical. Important variables like party connections, the attraction of candidates, and the confidence in the problem solution competence of the parties or their present role as a government party or opposition party do not seem to be considered at all. But, as…

    be exhibiting a distaste for politics, but this distaste does not equal a desire to leave politics behind. A loosely defined Europe with ever-expanding boundaries still requires political processes and decisions. The nation is not a prerequisite for democratic politics, but it is the easiest and best-known forum in which democratic politics can take place. This observation should not detract from Manent's overall work. He states at the outset that his intent is to describe the Western political order, and in that task he succeeds. Ultimately, if Manent is guilty of anything, it is of adopting a title that is overly ambitious. His "defense of the nationstate" is never an explicit, full-throated defense; rather, Manent allows it to permeate his arguments, and he relies on the presumption that nation-states are required for democratic politics to take place. By ably describing the modern democratic political world, A World Beyond Politics? is an effective defense, not of the nation-state, but of democratic politics itself.…

    Belgium

    • 882 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Belgium’s history is very long, detailed, and filled with wars. The country in which is now Belgium has been populated since before prehistoric times. Around 100 B.C. Celtic tribes, called Belgae, settled in the area. Julius Caesar and his Roman forces are the reason for the Belgae leaving when he defeated the Belgae around 50 B.C. This caused the area to be ruled by the Romans, and they renamed the area to Gaul. This is where new systems, such as road systems and technology, came about in the area. During the Middle Ages, Belgium was divided and fought over many times. Belgium’s location was a prime spot for soldiers and large battlegrounds during World War I and World War II. At different points in time, Belgium was part of many different large empires. Ancient Rome, Spain, Austria, France, and the Netherlands all ruled Belgium at some point. Many centuries later, Belgium finally won its Independence from the Netherlands in 1830.…

    Belgium is separated into three very different regions: Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels. There is a very big disparity in terms of wealth and demographics between those regions as well as some significant regional tensions. Major political conflicts often appear and I would definitely avoid speaking about it with Belgians, unless one is very acquainted with his interlocutor.…
