{"title":"Conclaves in the Modern Papacy: Factors That Influence the Elections of Popes (1846-Present)","authors":"Jair Peltier","doi":"10.61366/2576-2176.1066","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.61366/2576-2176.1066","url":null,"abstract":"This research paper seeks to identify and explain external and internal factors, including international conflict, ecclesiastical norms, and the actions, styles, and reputations of popes in their life times, in the elections of popes in the Roman Catholic Church from 1846 to 2013. Using historical context is important in identifying the international, social, and political climate that the conclaves were held in. Analyzing the papacies of the individual popes is another important aspect of this research. One pontificate begins when another ends. It would therefore be unproductive to disregard the successes and shortcomings of the popes after their elections. The conclaves over the last 160 years have been influenced by a changing world and a changing church. By looking at the key figures within the conclaves and international events in the world we can identify what the cardinals were attempting to accomplish with their choices. The unification of Italy, Two World Wars, The Second Vatican Council, social ideology, internal scandal and tradition, and globalization all influenced the outcomes of this ancient process to varying degrees since 1846. Introduction Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum habemus papam. These are the words that declare to the world that a new man has been selected to take the reign of the papacy. The Papacy is the oldest continuing absolute monarchy in history. The apostle Peter is considered to be the first pope and his successors number 265. The pope is the head of the Roman Catholic church and the head of the smallest country in the world, the Holy See or Vatican City. For the last 2,000 years the Papacy has been an influential force in the spiritual lives of billions of Catholics throughout the world as well as the secular lives of countless others. Although the papacy began with an illiterate fisherman from Galilee, it nevertheless would evolve to become the chief contender for absolute power in Europe. The pope’s temporal power reached its zenith in the middle ages and, though it steadily declined, remained well into the 19th century. As the papacy came to influence the social and political sphere so too did these spheres come to influence the papacy. Although spiritual in its foundation, the papacy, like all human institutions, has built itself up on politics. 2 Scholarly Horizons: University of Minnesota, Morris Undergraduate Journal, Vol. 6, Iss. 1 [], Art. 7 https://digitalcommons.morris.umn.edu/horizons/vol6/iss1/7","PeriodicalId":113813,"journal":{"name":"Scholarly Horizons: University of Minnesota, Morris Undergraduate Journal","volume":"211 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122433009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Elections, Rhetoric, and Policy: Comparing the Rise of Far-Right Nationalism in Western Europe and the United States","authors":"R. DeBellis","doi":"10.61366/2576-2176.1059","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.61366/2576-2176.1059","url":null,"abstract":"Western Europe and the United States have both seen an increase in the number of elected officials who represent the far-right ideologically. In this paper, I investigate the reasons behind the rise of far-right nationalist parties, as well as the impacts it has on policy and implications for international relations. To do this, I compared recent election results from Western Europe and the US, the populist rhetoric used by these parties and their candidates, and the subsequent changes in immigration and trade policy due to far-right politicians enacting their agenda. Through this comparison, I concluded first that the elections in Western Europe show a shift in favoring far-right nationalist parties, while in the US, the Republican Party as a whole has shifted further to the right due to the Tea Party movement. Western Europe’s populist rhetoric targets asylumseekers, while in the US the rhetoric is largely anti-Latino in addition to being anti-Muslim. Both regions have their respective anti-establishment elements as well. For policy results, we see this shift in far-right nationalism manifest in stringent immigration and asylum laws, specifically in France and Austria, as well as Britain leaving the EU in 2016. For the US, the border wall, repealing DACA, the travel ban, and pulling out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership are all examples of Trump carrying out a far-right nationalist agenda. Through this comparison, I conclude that there is a global trend shifting away from a globalist, neoliberal world to a more protectionist, nationalist world. This trend will have impacts on the movement of people and goods across the globe. 1 DeBellis: Elections, Rhetoric, and Policy Published by University of Minnesota Morris Digital Well, 2018","PeriodicalId":113813,"journal":{"name":"Scholarly Horizons: University of Minnesota, Morris Undergraduate Journal","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116831794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Citizens frequently wish to avoid the state censorship. There are many different methods that have been developed to achieve this. Governments and citizens are in a constant arms race, with both developing opposing technologies. China in particular has the largest population of people on the planet, and the Chinese government attempts to censor the internet. This paper will investigate three methods of navigating around state censorship: Cachebrowser, INTANG and Tor. Cachebrowser and INTANG were developed specifically to navigate around state censorship while Tor was originally developed for anonymous browsing. This paper will analyze their effectiveness and viability to avoid censorship.","PeriodicalId":113813,"journal":{"name":"Scholarly Horizons: University of Minnesota, Morris Undergraduate Journal","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125471291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
