From the Paper
"However, the problem of fundamental Islamic forces is one that casts its shadow over much of Asia and the Middle East, and, since 2001, in America. It is a force that must be reckoned with, as its mission is the eradication of non-Muslims, and, subsequent that, as we have seen in Sudan, a continued cleansing based on race. For this reason, Pakistan, in its weakened political state arising out of the weak stature of Musharraf's leadership, and in subsequent the recent assassination of Benazir Bhutto, and given its nuclear capability, is perhaps right now the most dangerous country in the world."

Abstract
The paper explains the principles of the Bush Doctrine and the policy of preemption that was essentially the response of the Bush administration to the attacks of 9/11. The paper looks at the arguments of supporters of the Bush doctrine but then explores the position of opponents as well. The paper discusses the rise of anti-Americanism, the contentions that Bush disregards the will and needs of the states he has invaded, the fact that democratization is not working and the lack of evidence about weapons of mass destruction at the start of the second Iraq war.
From the Paper
"The terrorist attacks of 9/11 were a defining moment in both American foreign policy and the lives of millions of people. The lives that were claimed by the attacks have left thousands and thousands of family members and an entire nation grieving. The attacks that were immediately condemned throughout the world were regarded as the beginning of the war on terrorism in the United States where President George W. Bush announced America was ready to fight back. The "Bush doctrine" as American foreign policy has been called, is essentially the response of the Bush administration to the attacks of 9/11. Initially, it was used to describe the invasion of Afghanistan, but was later broadened as to encompass the famous "policy of preemption" which was claimed to operate on various levels."

Finally, the writer discusses the potential future evolution of the ESDP.
Outline:
Introduction
History and Challenges of the ESDP
The ESDP
Effects on European Countries
EU Relations with Russia
EU Relations with Ukraine
EU Relations with Turkey
EU Relations with the Mediterranean Countries
Conclusions
From the Paper
"First and foremost it must be pointed out the fact that the ESDP is the result of a traditional structure, which is the international organization. In this sense, the realistic theory argues that although there is a need for states to keep their sovereignty, it is important for them to have a certain form of cooperation that supports political relations. At the same time, the structure of the EU and implicitly the existence of the ESDP are justified through the neorealist perspective. In this sense, taking realist and neorealist points into account, it can be said that the birth of the ESDP was a matter of power calculus; thus, "states must look to themselves to survive" hence they must engage in strategic alliances or forms of cooperation that would ensure them the ability to maintain a certain balance of power and, as structural realists argue, their relative power . In this sense, the creation of the European Union and the establishment of its security dimension was a well thought of affair, taking into account the perspectives after the Second World War and the need for a strategic and political balance of power. The actual creation of the ESDP was more difficult than the issue of the First Communitarian Pillar because of the specificity of the European Union which does not fall in the traditional category of the international organization, but rather its supranational character determines state to share sovereignty, a factor which determined several member states to be reluctant to address the issue of security at a supranational level ."

Abstract
The paper discusses the 1960s election of John F. Kennedy, the Cuban Missile Crisis that united the US against a common enemy and the Vietnam War that divided the nation. The paper then looks at personalities such as Malcolm X and Martin Luther King who helped changed the social fiber of the nation and notes man's conquest to walk on the moon that culminated in 1969. The paper shows how the 1960s was an era that started trends that continued into the 1970s and the new millennium.
From the Paper
"Could there be any doubt that the decade of 1960s was truly one of the most pivotal periods in the history of the United States not only in the twentieth century but throughout its history too? The 1960s indeed shaped our nation's history with the events that define who we are as an American nation. It was a decade that divided and united the nation; it was the period of our history that changed our lifestyle and our outlook. It may also be said that this era was the time where America lost its innocence as a result of the episodes that measured our mettle in the social, political, cultural and global arena."

Abstract
In this article, the writer introduces, discusses and analyzes the topic of the Cold War. Specifically, the writer discusses the development of the Cold War after the end of World War II and looks at how Europe and the world were divided by two super powers. The writer explains that the Cold War broke out after the end of World War II between the Soviet Union and the United States. It was based on disagreements between the two countries' policies, and the American possession of the atomic bomb. The writer notes that it lasted until the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, and drove a wedge between the two countries that is not easily forgotten. The writer concludes that the Cold War never erupted into real war, but there were times, like the Cuban Missile Crisis, when it could have, and the world breathed a sigh of relief when it ended.
From the Paper
"This was part of a report on Soviet/U.S. relations commissioned by President Truman in 1946, and it indicates the key differences between the two countries and their policies.
"The Truman Doctrine was a plan conceived to help nations threatened by Communism. The Truman Doctrine initially began with aid to Turkey and Greece in 1947, and continued in one form or another throughout the Cold War. It was a global, all encompassing effort to control Communism, and of course, the Soviets protested it. Many other nations did too, and it served to strain U.S. and foreign relationships greatly during the Cold War."

Abstract
This paper discusses American's involvement in Haiti and the role of President Aristide in the problems of the country. It discusses why America's political ends did not work after a successful peaceful military intervention in Haiti and why bringing Aristide back was a strategic failure. The paper argues that everything failed because there was no true peace between the United States and Haiti, which indicates there was poor leadership on both sides. The paper also looks at industry and benchmarking in Haiti.

From the Paper
"Companies and corporations must research a program prior to implementation to ensure it will be successful, and to determine any potential failures. Companies realize a successful process at another company does not guarantee the program will work in every business model. Research is a diligent and systematic inquiry or investigation into a subject in order to discover or revise facts, theories or applications. Benchmarking is a way to compare how one company does business with another in the same industry. Benchmarking occurs when a company wishes to develop new plans and ideas and wishes to see how other like companies has been successful. Benchmarking requires many hours of research to determine the risks associated with implementing the processes and removes the stigma of "it has always been done this way" while allowing for a variation to problem solving. It uses a review of best practices and though costly, the benefits will outweigh the costs. By using benchmarking practices, companies can implement new and improved business practices and develop plans which will help them succeed."

"The hope for promises of the NAFTA free trade agreement have not culminated in many positive situations and China has not followed the trade rules as closely as would have been desired initially however, new groundwork has been laid for coping with the complexities of the import and export trade with China which has been acknowledged as beneficial for both China and the United States. It will be of primary importance that China is held to the trade regulations in a transparent manner. Greater accountability and enforcement are the call-words for the future trade relations with China and other developing, emerging and rapidly growing countries involved in import and export trade with the United States. The United States has announced intentions to promote export trade with China and other developing countries and their markets."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that in the current changing paradigm of increasing globalization, the proliferation of non-government organizations, and the growing activities of multinationals, the scope of international law has become much broader. The writer points out that the jurisdictional and protective reach of international law now extends far beyond traditional state-to-state interactions to international organizations as well as individuals. This paper looks at the background of the expanding scope of international law. The writer then discusses some of the challenges, benefits and trade-offs that such a growing reach of international law necessarily brings.
Outline:
The Expanding Scope of International Law
Challenges

From the Paper
"International law is often perceived to encroach upon domestic sovereignty of nation-states. Most governments are jealously protective of their sovereignty and consider any international law that conflict with their domestic laws as unwanted intrusion in their internal affairs. It is, however, noticeable that the most fervent opposition to a more widespread implementation of international law comes from coercive, dictatorial regimes such as China, Russia, and the military regime of Burma governments who do not like to adhere to civilized norms of behavior, particularly in the treatment of their own people. Even a number of democratic countries, such as the United States are only supportive of international law as long as it serves their narrow national interest. Hence, the biggest challenge to extending the scope of international law beyond its traditional boundaries is to devise and implement it in such a way that it does not conflict with domestic laws and does not threaten sovereignty of nations.

Abstract
The 1961 Vienna Convention on diplomatic relations sets accepted rules for diplomatic and consular privileges. It sets forth certain immunities that are considered necessary for diplomats to carry out their functions in keeping international peace. This paper discusses how the increase of awareness regarding the global threat of terrorism and several key cases claiming abuse of privileges under the Vienna Convention have raised questions as to the applicability and role that it should play in modern diplomatic relations. The paper examines the relevancy of the Vienna Convention by examining commentary and case law in an attempt to clarify the role of the Vienna Convention in today's society.
Outline:
Case Law: Examining Applicability
The Vienna Convention and Terrorism
Problems of Interpretation and Enforcement
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In February of 987, an ambassador from Papua New Guinea returned home after he killed a man while driving intoxicated (Shenon, 1987). He escaped prosecution by using diplomatic immunity. In 1982, a Brazilian ambassador's son shot and injured a bouncer at a nightclub. He returned home without having to stand trial for the incident (Shenon, 1987). There is even a documented case where an ambassador's dog escaped the consequences of biting several neighbors by means of his owner's diplomatic immunity (Shenon, 1987). These cases highlight the potential for misuse of the privileges under the Vienna Convention to get away with real crimes in the country of residence. "
