Country Case Study

For this essay you will write on an assigned country. Note there are 4 sections/questions within the prompt and EACH must be answered, so you could write this essay as a page per section to make the 4 page minimum requirement. The questions are based on concepts from Chapters 3, 4 & 5. The list of countries is listed below the section questions. You can write about any country, provided that it is NOT the United States or the United Kingdom. You should NOT write about any countries that are fully or forms of dictatorships, like N. Korea, China, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Cuba, etc.
1. Describe your country’s Constitution. When was it written? Does your country have a long history with different Constitutions? Are there rights or liberties guaranteed by the Constitution similar to the U.S. Bill of Rights? Is there a notable right or liberty within your country’s Constitution that we don’t have in the U.S.? All countries have official government websites where you can access their current Constitution (including in English)
2. Does your country have a federal system or a unitary system? Who serves as head of state and/or head of government? Is there a Prime Minister, a President, a monarch, or both? Are there separate branches of government with different roles?
3. How Democratic is your country? How does it score on any of the democracy studies you can find online? Identify some problem that your country faces, maybe in regards to Human Rights, Civil Rights, Economic Rights, Crime/Corruption, etc. Depending on whether your country is ranked very high among democracies or more in the middle section or is listed as a “illiberal” democracy, identify some reasons why that is the case.
4. What in your view would improve democratization? Identify a major political, economic or social problem existing in your country that may be hampering it’s democratic standing. What do you think the government should improve upon to address this problem, and why do you think this issue is so important to address?

Legal Consciousness/Legal Formalism Essay

This essay is for a course entitled “American Legal History from 1863-Present”. I have uploaded the pdfs of all documents that will aid in completing this essay. Let me know if there are any questions.

These are the exact instructions for the essay from the professor:
“This short essay should be a discussion of one or more of the arguments presented in either Duncan Kennedy’s “Toward an Historical Understanding of Legal Consciousness: The Case of Classical Legal Thought in America, 1850-1940,” or Morton Horwitz’s essay “The Rise of Legal Formalism.” Alternatively, you can compare the arguments of these two pieces with one another. Your essay, whether it focuses more on Kennedy or Horwitz’s article, should also consider, insofar as they are relevant, In re Debs or Lochner, or both. You could discuss the Slaughterhouse Cases, too. But it is not recommended that you undertake any additional reading, as this exercise is asking you to complete a close analysis of either Kennedy or Horwitz’s article (or both).

Your paper should not be longer than five pages typed, double spaced, using 12 pt. font (i.e., about 1000-1200 words). There is no need for a bibliography, but it is very important to cite references precisely (this means including page numbers) in footnotes or parenthetically, and even quote statements that are the subject of analysis. Crucially, the paper must have a thesis.”

Hankook Case Study

Write a 1000- word report to answer the following questions:
1a) The text lists five strategic ways for a company to establish a competitive presence in the markets of other countries.
These are:
1. maintaining a national (one-country) production base and exporting good to foreign markets
2. licensing foreign firms to use the company’s technology or produce and distribute the company’s products
3. employing a franchising strategy
4. Relying upon acquisitions or internal startup ventures to gain entry into foreign markets
5. using strategic alliances or other collaborative partnerships to enter a foreign market or strengthen a firm’ competitiveness
b) Which of these strategies did Hankook employ before 2013 and which one did it move to at that time?
2) What, in your opinion, were the key strategic motivations behind Hankook’s change of strategy in 2013?
3) Give your assessment of why Hankook did not pursue any of the other remaining “strategic ways” (as listed in #1
above) in 2013?
4) Suppose we make the assumption that in 20013The Korean currency, the Won, was exchanged at the rate of
US$=1000 Won. Now, suppose that after the plant was established (say 2019) there was a radical change in the exact
exchange rate, so that on October 15th 2019 the exchange rate was US $1 = 500 Won. What impact might that trend
have on Hankook’s entire US sale from a) domestic production in US and b) imports from Korea? If, instead, the rate
was to go to US$1=2000 Won, what would be the impact? If you were the Hancock Chief Executive what might you
decide to do from a production perspective in each of these two scenarios?
5) Compare the investment approach of the Indian company, Apollo Tires, in the US market to that of Hankook. Which
strategy did Apollo attempt to follow?
6) Why would Apollo and Hankook choose different paths, given that they were both Asian tire companies trying to
increase their US sales? List some of the benefits and drawbacks of each path.
