Behind the Ballot: An Exploration of West African Election Policy
No full textSince its conception, the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) has based itself on a mutual economic interest among its 8 member states to foster a forum for the exercise of democracy and regional cooperation. However, the interconnectivity of the region created a suitable environment for a cascade effect in which democratic instability in a country becomes a blueprint for the adjacent nations. Behind The Ballot aims to dissect the main events surrounding election policy and power transitions including elections, policies, uprisings, coups d’etat, and conflicts in the last 12 years in the eight member countries of the WAEMU: Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte D’Ivoire, Guine-Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal, and Togo. Through the use of local, regional, and international newspapers, this project presents eight timelines of the major events from 2012 to 2024 in these countries. Furthermore, Behind the Ballot introduces a selection of interactive maps that display the intricacies of the processes while raising questions and discussions about voter suppression, economics, neocolonialism, and the future of West African democracy
Concentration in the Market for Infant Formula: Causes, Symptoms, and Remedies
Get PDFThis scholarship argues that the widespread shortages resulting from the February 2022 recall of several infant formula brands following the closure of Abbott’s Sturgis plant are emblematic not of an acute market hiccup, but rather of a series of anti-competitive policy measures decades in the making. Using the aforementioned punctuating event as a guidepost, this analysis reviews the critical role that quality regulations, import restrictions, and procurement protocols within the WIC program play on concentration within the market for infant formula

How Coaching Interactions Transform Leader Identity of Young Professionals Over Time
Get PDFThis longitudinal qualitative study explores how social interactions between young professionals and their leadership coach develop leader identity. Examining eleven pairs of coaches and clients participating in a three-to-six-month leadership development programme, this exploratory research found five general interaction types that form the basis of leader identity development. We explain how coaching interaction types are combined to create a powerful adult learning process for navigating leadership transitions in an original leader identity transformation framework. The findings expand the understanding of coaching processes and leader identity transformation, providing insights for researchers and practitioners to help young professionals navigate leadership
Gettysburg on the Go: A Bike Share Program for a Greener Gettysburg
Get PDFA bike share program is a shared transportation system that offers convenient short-term bicycle access for a low cost. This study aims to assess the potential for a program in Gettysburg, PA and develop a proposal for implementation. We assessed the potential of a bike share program by administering a survey targeted to locals, tourists, and college students. We conducted a peer-system analysis of three bikeshare programs in cities with similar characteristics to Gettysburg in terms of population, rural areas, tourism levels, and three additional systems in a regional bike share to aid in the creation of a proposal for a bike share in Gettysburg, alongside insights from survey results. The survey was broken up into sections with questions on accessibility, familiarity with bike shares, and opinions and openness. The survey was accessed by QR code on flyers and online via Instagram or Facebook. Results were analyzed with Excel and R studio by creating tables, graphs, chi-square tests, and sentiment analysis. The survey received 255 responses from 149 locals, 55 college students, and 51 tourists. The majority of responses indicated support for a bike share program with stations preferably at Gettysburg College, the Circle, and the Gettysburg National Military Park Visitor Center. Most respondents were most willing to pay a fee of $1.50 per 30 minutes of use, but tourists significantly preferred this option. Peer systems indicate bikeshare programs are feasible in cities similar to Gettysburg considering varied funding, accessible fare structures, and tailored management approaches. We propose a publicly owned and privately operated bikeshare program in Gettysburg, PA, featuring ~3 stations and ~20 bicycles at the locations indicated in our survey, with pay-per-ride and subscription pricing schemes to cater to locals, tourists, and students alike. However, implementation challenges could include securing funding, developing infrastructure, and managing seasonal usage fluctuations
