Scholars are not using the proper analytical tools for comparing polities and cultures even within the same Civilization. The Unified Theory of Politics is a new approach to History and Politics that allows for comparison across the four Civilizations of the world (Western, Central, Eastern, and Mesoamerican). Mesoamerica is a Civilization made up of numerous civilizations. These civilizations are not compared to each other properly, with Mayans, Olmecs, and Epi-Olmecs all considered as equal units of analysis, which is not true. At the same time, within the Western Civilization, ancient Italy is not being properly analyzed either. The Latins, Romans, and Oscans are equal units of analysis either, yet the categorization of cultures and polities here is little better than in ancient Mesoamerica. The Unified Theory of Politics allows us to bridge seemingly impossible differences in culture, time, and place. This gives us the analytical and comparative tools to analogize between Civilizations. This article will show how the Unified Theory of Politics works by demonstrating not only that the Mayans and the Oscans are comparable with each other, but also that Olmecs and Romans are comparable with one another. This leads to the analogy of: “The Mayans are to the Oscans as the Olmecs are to the Romans”. Also, the article will demonstrably prove that Italians are Epi-Romans. This article will thus show that the Unified Theory of Politics allows us to compare any polity or culture with writing to any other polity or culture with writing, regardless of culture, place, or time.

This article examines the concept of procedural responsibility. The position is defended according to which procedural responsibility is interpreted not as a type of legal responsibility, but as a complex legal institution consisting of the norms of both substantive and procedural law. In turn, procedural responsibility is divided into a number of sub-institutions, including criminal procedural responsibility, which is analyzed in more or less detail.

In the unfolding narrative of Madagascar's post-independence journey, the troubling paradox of economic regression persists amidst the nation's bountiful natural wealth, coveted by others. Despite the implementation of diverse policies by successive leaders, the pervasive specter of poverty endures. This theological contemplation propels a fervent call for a policy metamorphosis—a conscientious exploration of sophocracy, rooted in the wisdom epitomized by King Solomon, as a transformative catalyst. A historical-critical analysis of Solomon's governance, woven from biblical texts and scholarly discourse, reveals sophocracy's potential to restore equilibrium, necessitate substantive reform, and harmoniously integrate with other forms of power. Yet, the theologian's discerning gaze acknowledges the need for an adapted Malagasy sophocracy, cognizant of human vulnerabilities. The prospect emerges that a locally nuanced sophocracy, grounded in Malagasy wisdom and identity, could redefine the nation's history. However, this journey is tempered by a vigilant consideration of internal and external risks, echoing the delicate interplay between divine guidance and human agency.

As globalization evolves, it leads to a gradual erosion of local cultures, including in Indonesia. It's imperative for the government to nurture and enhance Indonesian culture. However, there's a noticeable decline in the cultural preservation efforts by DKI Jakarta's Regional Government, negatively impacting relevant stakeholders. This research delves into how DKI Jakarta's Regional Regulation No. 4 of 2015, focused on the Preservation of Betawi Culture, is being integrated into the educational curriculum. The main objective is to devise strategies for embedding the Betawi language into the local educational content, aiming to safeguard it against the risk of disappearing, aligning with the goals of the 2015 regulation. A notable issue is the differing perceptions between DKI Jakarta’s Culture Service officials and the Education and Community Service Office regarding the significance of researching and promoting the protection of Betawi language and literature, compared to public opinion. The research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach, suitable for analyzing societal phenomena that are not quantifiable, allowing for a detailed depiction of the observations. Literature Review is used as the main method for gathering data. The outcome of this study includes practical solutions for integrating the Betawi language into the local educational content, thereby contributing to its preservation and averting the danger of its extinction.
