From the Paper
"The European Union's common asylum policy has developed over time and has been influenced by a number of political and economic factors. As this development has unfolded, Luxembourg's own position has evolved in response to asylum issues and other emerging concerns such as arms control and human rights violations. Essentially, "as political and economic co-operation has developed between the member states of the EU, the necessity of a common approach to issues such as immigration, border controls and asylum policy has become apparent." (ECRE) Thirteen years ago, common European agreement was reached through the Maastricht Treaty, which designated asylum policy as a matter of shared interest to European Union members. "

Abstract
This paper explains that the collapse of the former Soviet Union was the most significant event of the last half of the twentieth century. The author points out that economic weakness, domestic policy and foreign policy all conspired to bring about the ruin of the USSR. The paper relates that, ironically, as secretary of the Communist Party, the decisions of Mikhail Gorbachev, the man most intent on salvaging the empire, were arguably most responsible for expediting the USSR's collapse.
From the Paper
"The collapse of the former Soviet Union was the most significant event of the last half of the twentieth century. This paper explores the economic factors, the domestic policy decisions - chiefly the glasnost and/or perestroika championed by Mikhail Gorbachev - and, not least of all, the foreign policy decisions that led to the devolution of the World's second most powerful polity. While certain factors were more important than others, there can be little doubt that the destruction of the USSR occurred because of a confluence of factors that, operating in a complex unison with one another, brought down an empire holding sway over more than a quarter billion people."

Abstract
This paper explains that economic and political policy reforms implemented by Eastern European countries, specifically the reunification of Germany, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union, finally brought about an end to the Cold War. The author contends that the developing countries are particularly at risk of falling back into an authoritarian regime due to the instability of processes of democratization. The paper relates that some experts suggest that the end of the Cold War created two super powers: the U.S.A. and the former Soviet Union.
From the Paper
"Economic and political policy reforms implemented by Eastern European countries, specifically the reunification of Germany; the fall of the Berlin Wall; and the collapse of the Soviet Union, finally brought an put an end to the Cold War. In a relatively short amount of time these events lead to a new beginning for the world economy. "The end of the Cold War marked the closure of a distinct era in geopolitics and international relations. It changed not only the relations between states and rival blocs of states, but the very boundaries and definitions of states and thus the component parts of the international system" (Cronin, 2001, p. 3)."

Abstract
This paper explains that the most potent and lasting legacy of East Central Europe is nationalism. The author focuses on differences in terms of national-states and ethnic minorities. The paper relates the political and economic legacies; however, the paper contends that, during and after the Soviet era, the national element had a greater effect on the development of this region.
From the Paper
"In the area of East Central Europe, the most potent and lasting legacy is national, centering on differences in terms of national-states and ethnic minorities. What held much of this region together as a nation-state for much of the twentieth century was Communism, not as an ideology but as the external power that kept the ethnic minorities in check by means of force. The peoples of Yugoslavia were linguistically and culturally differentiated after they had migrated to the Balkan Peninsula in the sixth and seventh centuries A.D.."

The Wise Man, 2006.
This article contains an examination of the philosophies of Plato and Descartes.

Abstract
In this article, the writer maintains that Plato and Descartes might find solace in the old saying, "A wise man is the man who knows that he knows nothing." Obviously, the philosophy of Plato and Descartes symbolizes a concrete reality about the nature of man - no one can know anything because no one can predict changes or whether the changes will be for the better or for the worse. However, for the sake of length and discussion, this paper examines the philosophy of Plato and Descartes in detail.
From the Paper
"Philosophy is the study of concepts that are not concrete. Concrete knowledge is the hard truths that man faces every day. For example, if the stove is hot and one places a hand on it, one will be burned. Thus, arises concrete knowledge: the burned palm reveals the hard truths of hot and cold.
Or take, for example, the wild lion caged within an electrified fence. The lion will attempt to attack the fence, but after a good jolt of electricity shoots through his body, he will learn that the fence is bad, dangerous. He has been given concrete knowledge: his shocked and painful body has proven to him that the fence cannot be attacked in this manner."

Abstract
This paper looks at the problems of the Gypsy (Roma) people in Europe. The author explains that the Roma are the largest minority group in Europe, yet continue to be marginalized, despite a rich history and culture. The author carried out two original studies. The first was a study of over 100 Roma folktales and the second investigated 201 newspaper articles that contained the word "Gypsy." After an introduction and a chapter containing background information about the Gypsy ethnicity, each study is presented with its respective conclusions. The author includes an overall conclusion.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Chapter 1: Who are the Gypsies?
Chapter 2: The Non-Gypsy Perspective of Gypsies
Chapter 3: The Roma's Self-Perception
Chapter 4: A Contrast of Two Perspectives
Conclusion
From the Paper
"There is a Gypsy problem. Though they are the largest minority in Europe, the Gypsy ethnic group continues to experience widespread prejudice that helps to perpetuate their general poverty and marginilization. The problem has seen very little improvement since Gypsies first migrated into Europe in the fourteenth century. Even in the last fifty years, as Western society has gained a new respect for minority races, the Gypsies seem to have been excluded from this new understanding and open-mindedness. In Central and Eastern Europe, anti-Gypsy discrimination is the norm and is even quietly supported by police and government authorities. While this sort of activity is not accepted in Western Europe, there remains in that region an attitude toward Gypsies that is evidenced by the usualness of conflict with Gypsies and an unwelcoming expression toward certain new migrations of Gypsies to the region."
