"With the collapse of the Soviet Union, America's relationship with Russia and other post-communist countries has fallen into some disarray. For more than 40 years, the primary objective of U.S. foreign policy was the containment of the Soviet communist threat. With the abrupt end of that objective in 1991, the United States has found itself in the dark about how to relate with the successor states of the Soviet Union, including Russia, and what objectives to pursue in advancing American interests.
This research examines the traditional and new relationships the United States has forged with Russia, particularly since the end of the Cold War in 1991. Some attention will be given to the traditional Cold War relationship between the United States and Russia, but this study will ..."

"IS NATO IN TERMINAL DECLINE?
The crumbling of the so.called Communist Empire in Eastern Europe in 1989 and 1990 has led many political analysts to proclaim that the transformation of international political environment from a bipolar character, in which the United States and the Soviet Union were the principal players, will result in either (1) a multipolar character, in which either (a) the United States will be but one of several major players (Hyland, 1990, p. 5), or (b) the United States, Japan, and the reunited Germany will be the major players, with a considerably less significant role for Russia (Tarnoff, 1990, pp. 67-80), or (2) a unipolar character in which the United States is the dominant world power (Sanders, 1991, pp. 27-35). According to many political analysts, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) will ..."

"The Ukraine is a country struggling for independence. It has gained international recognition as a independent country but has yet to achieve independence in its own mind. Ukraine has many problems in the arenas of politics and economics. Politically the country is fragmented. Economic stagnation, inflation, and an entrenched non-capitalistic philosophy hinder development. The inability to survive without cooperation from Russia remains to be accomplished. Its military is weak but enjoys a high level of trust by most of the population.. The Ukraine's new president has begun a program of reform which may impact on these problems but only if given enough time and cooperation from within the country and international support. To survive as an independent state, Ukraine needs to reform and democratize its economy and state structures and build a national ..."

From the Paper
"The decision on the part of the Soviet Union to invade Czechoslovakia came about because of a combination of forces and crises. The invasion followed what has come to be known as the Prague Spring, a period of liberalization of policies in Poland, which came at a time when the Soviets were faced with problems in Romania. Efforts at liberalization by the Dubcek regime in Czechoslovakia raised fears in the Soviet leaders that this would be only the beginning of widespread demands for changes of the same sort in other East European countries. In addition, there were changes taking place in Czechoslovakia in terms of self defense and foreign policy which threatened the membership of that country in the Warsaw Pact, and the Soviets could not abide any potential defection from the apparent unity of the Eastern bloc."

"The United Nations faces a new power structure in the world with the breakup of the Soviet Union and the Soviet bloc. This provides a new opportunity to reconstitute the UN so that it more clearly fulfills the original purpose of the United Nations, which was to avoid conflict or to settle it without force. The new paradigm may be bolstering international law and arbitration in order to judge the actions of nations according to ethical standards.
After World War I, many of the nations of the world tried to address one of the issues that had interested idealists for some time--the creation of some means for international adjudication as a way of authoritatively and peacefully settling international disputes. One of the institutions that emerged from this war was the League of Nations, a forerunner of the United Nations but ..."

From the Paper
"The period between 1870-1939 was an era of radical change for East and Central Europe. Throughout the early part of the period, this region developed in response to the Industrial Revolution, with most of the countries becoming peripheral to the core nations of Western Europe. The period of development ended with World War I. The interwar era was characterized by reconstruction, fueled by foreign capital. The redrawing of national boundaries during the early interwar period left East and Central Europe in the throes of societal conflict, a prelude to World War II.
Politically, the period between 1870 and 1918 was characterized by international stabilization. Alliances between the so-called central powers--Germany, France, and Austria-Hungary--were forged using the diplomacy of Germany's Otto von ..."

From the Paper
" When Czar Nicholas I emancipated the serfs of the Russian Empire in 1861 it was not so much a liberal revolution as a return to traditional standards - for serfdom was not an ages-old institution in Russia, as in Western Europe, but a relatively late-developing tangent to the rise of imperial, centralized power. Historically, the great majority of the Russian people have been peasants, and by the mid-19th century almost all peasants were either serfs of private landowners or in serflike bondage to the state.
It was not always so. In Kievan Russia (879 A.D. - 1240 A.D.), and under the Tartar occupations (11th century - 14th century), most peasants had been freedmen, though there were some who were simple slaves. Though the process of the establishment of serfdom in Russia is variously interpreted, it can be ... "

"Gender relationships in contemporary Turkey are experiencing dynamic change. The source of the changing relationships between the genders in Turkey is societal modernization. Some elements of Turkish society desire to develop a stronger European orientation and identity for the country, while other societal elements desire to retain Turkey's traditional Islamic heritage. For gender relationships, this clash of ideas means not only change in the character of such relationships, but also means that disharmony characterizes many relationships at both societal and familial levels.

"Since the breakup of the Soviet Union into individual nations, the region's economies have undergone severe changes. Centralized planning and state ownership of nearly all factors of production has given way to increased privatization. The region has witnessed some individuals who have made sizable profits as a result of the new policies, while other individuals have seen their standards of living decrease. The result is that the various nations are scrambling to establish monetary and fiscal policies that can help the various nations emerge from the 70 years of socialism and centralized planning into a new era. In the early years of the 1990s, the region witnessed high levels of inflation, economic disruption and upheaval, and increased scrutiny by outside economic forces, including the International ... "

From the Paper
"The United States and Europe are at a critical turning point in the definition of their security partnership. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, most Americans assumed that the existing security system could meet any challenges offered, especially since NATO had become the permanent diplomatic conference for the North Atlantic region. There are others, however, including Secretary of State Christopher, who want to replace NATO with a continent-wide security structure and to forge an economic partnership with Europe that transcends the European Community (EC).. Until recently, many European did not hold to that opinion. They believed that the ever-changing world situation demanded a new common European identity that went beyond its dependence upon the United States for security. However, the crisis in Yugoslavia has shaken both these beliefs."
