  • Report on Parliamentary Involvement in International Affairs
    Parliamentary Involvement in International Affairs A report by the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) to the Second World Conference of Speakers of Parliaments New York, 7-9 September, 2005 - 2 - PARLIAMENTARY INVOLVEMENT IN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Foreword When Speakers of parliaments met for the first time in a world conference of its kind in September 2000, they adopted a solemn declaration1 that called for greater involvement of parliaments in international affairs. Gone were they days, they stated, when politics was a purely domestic business, if ever it had been. Whether they wanted to or not, legislatures everywhere were under mounting pressure to debate an ever more transnational agenda. Parliaments simply had no choice but to engage in multilateral negotiations, if only because the responsibility fell squarely on their shoulders when it came to enacting the results into domestic law. If their place in international affairs was no longer open to dispute, the procedures whereby parliaments brought their influence to bear in the international arena continued to vary widely. The Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), the convenor of the 2000 Conference, was keen to discover whether behind the intricate strands there was a single pattern. In 2004, the organization put a number of questions to Speakers of parliaments throughout the world in order to find out to what extent and in what manner their parliaments had become involved in international affairs, in keeping with the millennium pledge. 2 The report that follows is a compilation of the responses. The survey has shown that almost all parliaments - in developed and developing countries alike - have unique experiences to share in respect of their involvement in international affairs.

  • Social Networks and Elections in the Arab World Ellen Lust Executive
    Social Networks and Elections in the Arab World Ellen Lust Executive Summary This report focuses on the relationship between social networks and electoral politics, emphasizing that the organization of social networks plays a large role in shaping electoral behavior. Instead of viewing elections as one-to-one exchanges of votes (present or future) for goods, we must understand them as one of many exchanges made within a web of relationships determined by social networks and communal social obligations. Development specialists and policymakers too often emphasize the role of political actors and institutions when it comes to programming across the electoral cycle, overlooking the fact that social networks influence the process. Social and political spheres are intricately linked. This report explores how social networks influence political competition across the electoral cycle primarily through evaluating electoral process in the Arab world (emphasis on Egypt, Jordan, Libya, and Tunisia) under authoritarian and transitional regimes. As social networks shape elections, elections subsequently influence social arrangements. Although this report draws examples from the Arab world, the confluence of political and social realms is also prevalent in Western countries. Societal Organization and Social Networks Social networks may be based on kith-and-kin relations (family and tribe), religious connections, geographical localities as well as economic ties. Organization of social networks can be defined based on three characteristics: breadth, the number of connects an individual may have; density, the extent to which individuals engage with others; and hierarchy, the role that authority plays in these connections. The nature of networks shapes the relationship between individuals and political elites, and ultimately combines with political institutions to influence electoral behavior.
