Analysis of Security Policy-making in China, India, and the United States
[ send me this paper ]
This 14 page report discusses the fact that security policy-making in the United States, China, and India is particularly relevant in the opening years of the 21st century for some relatively obvious reasons. First, China and India represent the two most populated nations in the world. Second, they are world powers emerging into a new sense of their own position and strength in the markets and politics of the modern world. The U.S. plays an essential role in both of their affairs as it does in all other nations’ security issues since it is the wealthiest and arguably most powerful nation in the world. And, of course, the ideologies of all three nations have an undeniably significant impact on literally billions of people. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

Anti-Communism And American Foreign Policy: 1945-1970
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Historians have advanced two broad theories about the role of anti-Communism in American foreign policy after 1945. In the first, anti-Communism is a consistent theme throughout, one that drove virtually every foreign policy decision and action and had a huge impact on domestic life in the United States after the Second World War. In the second, anti-Communism policy and rhetoric comes and goes, sometimes driving policy and social life, sometimes serving as the rational for foreign policy decisions based on other concerns, and sometimes not being a factor at all as other issues took precedence. The writer discusses anti-Communism and American foreign policy between 1945 and 1970. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Authoritarianism
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. authoritarianism is not but a passing tendency; rather, it influences a good portion of the population in differing capacities. No matter the level of authoritarianism, it is typically associated with undesirable personality syndrome in whatever measure it exists. The authoritarian personality is typically associated with a number of repulsive traits that often cause the person to be either cast out of society or embraced by fellow authoritarians. When examining this particular human behavior, it is critical to include the inherent association to political leadership in order to gain a more significant understanding behind the issue of authoritarianism. Russia, Iran and Afghanistan represent three of the most authoritarian governments across the globe. Their collective, as well as individual, approach to civil liberties, democracy and the pursuit of individual happiness is nonexistent; rather, their focus is upon suppressive rule where people are bestowed no natural rights or ability to pursue their desires. The student will readily note that there is little – if any – difference in the manner by which these three nations assert their authoritarianism. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Barbara Tuchman: The March of Folly (1984)
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) "Don't confuse me with facts!" is a cry heard throughout the world when it comes to governmental decisions. Barbara Tuchman, the winner of two Pulitzer Prizes, and one of the best American historians, wrote in her book The March of Folly (1984) that "a phenomenon noticeable throughout history regardless of place or period is the pursuit by governments of policies contrary to their own interests" . According to her, "self-interest is whatever conduces to the welfare or advantage of the body being governed; folly is a policy that in these terms is counter-productive". Tuchman considered folly to be the most dangerous act of mis-government and saw it as a "self-destructive act carried out despite the availability of a recognized and feasible alternative".

Biological Warfare in International Law
[ send me this paper ]
A 17 page paper discussing the legal and environmental aspects of biological warfare. As our scientific knowledge increased, so did the threat of biological warfare. The use of biological weapons seems to be less of a threat now, for our scientific knowledge has continued to increase to lead us to a place that we can glimpse into areas we can recognize as unknown. A specific and binding UN treaty exists to which 144 nations have signed and agreed, but there remains no legal enforceability. The 1972 Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention remains under continual review. Bibliography lists 20 sources in 28 footnotes (in Bluebook [legal] style).
