Advances in Political Science and International Relations. Volume 1

This book focuses on advances in political science. Chapter 1 examines the efficacy of Public-Private-Community Partnerships (PPCPs) as a mechanism for sound ethical governance and consolidation of development in Zimbabwe. Chapter 2 aims to summarize the history of these "e;special"e; links and contacts using a comparative approach for revealing the coordinative framework of the Soviet bloc policy in Latin America. Chapter 3 tests two hypotheses regarding the Democrats in the 2022 election, in addition to standard midterm election accounts, the continued political presence of Donald Trump in American politics and the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade in summer 2022. Chapter 4 discusses the "e;why"e;, the "e;what"e;, and the "e;how"e; of fieldwork in political science. Chapter 5 uses the Ordered Probit Model to demonstrate that the political institution quality and the digital industry development positively affect the probability of one country's liberalization of cross-border data flows. Chapter 6 aims to initiate an understanding of how municipal township and borough managers, a disproportionately and traditionally white male demographic, experienced and managed the expectation of systemic racial reform in increasingly diverse municipalities in the aftermath of the Floyd incident.
