"...There remain pertinent questions surrounding the substantive role of women in politics for the resolution of gendered issues, such as sexual and domestic violence, financial incapacity, and access to education. The Tanzanian case, however, indicates that things are headed in the right direction." - Favour Daka

"The EASF as a regional institution lacks the resources, authority, and political will to effectively deploy forces into the region to build peace. Both the TPLF and the ENDF are well-armed and well-trained: for a potential EASF deployment to be effective, a substantial and costly force would have to be committed to this peacekeeping operation - a difficult undertaking for an underfunded institution." - Madelyn Koff

"This may demonstrate the failure of relying on conventional policy procedures rather than searching for innovative or creative ways to deal with climate change, as the Canadian government struggles to progress economically and environmentally." - Riyana Karim Hajiani

"Campaign finance...has often taken a backseat in political discourse. Despite this, the recent surge in campaign spending in the 2020 elections holds deep implications for free speech and the democratic process." - Tommy Chen

"Though intended to promote democratic values of equality and fair representation, [consociationalism] can also promote fragmentation and sectarian politics at the expense of national identity and unity." - Jessica Maloney

"Given the historical success of the Liberal Party, their corruption scandals, and their urban voter base, it may be easy for the Conservatives to define themselves as oppositional to Liberal elitism." - Max Rosen

"As the world’s largest exporter of nurses, Filipinos in the healthcare industry around the globe are anticipating a brutal holiday season. This specific expertise has been developed after years of American colonialism and by the Philippine government’s aggressive push for citizens to enter the international labour market..." - Lucie Belzile

"Quebecers’ dissatisfaction with the Liberals and Conservatives, combined with Layton’s focus on their interests, produced unprecedented NDP successes in the province. However, dissatisfaction is transient, party leaders change, and Canadian voters have a natural inclination to return to that with which they are familiar." - Samah Khandker
