From the Paper
"The world watched in horror as the towers came down on September 11, 2001 but since that day the world as well as America have been divided in whether or not the US should have gone to war in Iraq. When the terrorist attacks first happened millions of Americans supported President Bush's desire to go after world terrorists. When the dust settled and people had time to think, however, the support for war declined but it was still high enough that America forced its way into Iraq on the premise that weapons of mass destruction would be located there. They weren't and today many people have withdrawn their support of the war. It is time for the US to withdraw troops and tend to problems at home. "

Abstract
This paper presents a project that attempts to verify the role of strategic level war games in war-planning and to determine, in particular, the potentials of the Doziet strategic war game invented by Dozie Nwanna. The author cites the long history of war games and their impact on actual military strategy and success. The first part of the paper is comprised of a theoretical study of the general role of war games; the second half consists of a comparison of the Doziet war game with other popular war game devices. The author concludes that the introduction of increasingly sophisticated war gaming technology such as Doziet and Grand-Doziet have provided policymakers and military planners with the opportunity to better understand the potential implications of a given set of variables on the outcome of a military conflict.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"With a war on terrorism being actively prosecuted on two fronts today, and with the potential for two (or three) more in the future, the U.S. military is stretched very thin indeed. Because resources are by definition scarce, it is important for the armed forces to make the maximum use of the tools and talent that they have available to accomplish their organizational goals. In this regard, the Chief of Staff of the United States Army announced recently the intent to develop a strategy that will transform the Army over the next two to three decades into a force that will remain dominant across the full spectrum of operations while becoming more strategically responsive (Gonzales, Iv, Howe, Johnson, Moore & Pimie, 2001). These objectives, though, are constrained by the increasingly high costs associated with combat training and the need to maintain constant vigilance while pursuing any directly noncombat-related training endeavors such as war games, which are discussed further below."

From the Paper
"The problems with improving the small business industry in Africa are cost prohibitive which is another reason the world ignores the problems of the continent. To create an environment that is conducive to small business growth in Africa the deficient public utility system will have to be improved. There is a power system there that is unpredictable at best and erratic most of the time. The continent has an unpredictable business environment because of the insecure rights to property and the contract enforcement difficulties as the laws are not yet clearly defined or enforceable. In addition there is corruption throughout the continent that prevents the ability to develop a small business sector that is professional, successful and accepted in the world. "

Abstract
This paper analyzes the factors that contributed to the beginning of the Cold War, which dominated much of the second half of the twentieth century. The paper concludes that, despite all the varied political and historical reasons, the central cause for the start of the Cold War can be seen as a fight for world power and political control in both an ideological and economic sense.
From the Paper
"There are many other important aspects that mark the beginning of the Cold War Era. One was the formation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization or NATO in 1949. NATO as a joint military group was created to "... defend against Soviet forces in Europe ". ( Cold War) The first members of NATO were Belgium, Britain, Canada, Denmark, France, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, and the United States. ( Cold War) A similar organization was formed by the Soviet Union and its east European allies known as the Warsaw Pact. This also serves to emphasize the entrenchment of the Cold War into an organizational and institutional ethos."

Abstract
The paper discusses the many contending theories in the debate surrounding globalization. The study focuses on the relationship between communications, cultural accessibility and globalization. Throughout the paper, attention is drawn to the fact that the various elements of globalization, such as culture, politics and economics are inextricably intertwined and that any analysis of one aspect must include references to the others. The paper concludes that despite the positive aspects that globalization brings, there is a growing sense of discontent with globalization from many quarters.
Outline:
Introduction
Theoretical Perspectives
The Realities of Globalization and Communication
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The concept and meaning of globalization is in itself a source of contention in term of its definition. "What does "globalization" mean? As a term and concept, "globalization" lacks concise, universal interpretation because it is too complex a concept for clean-cut assessment. " (Muraoka K.T.) Part of the reason for this situation is that the term has been used to express different meanings in different contexts. The term 'globalization 'is used in a monetary context to refer to, "...the efforts of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and others to create a global free market for goods and services.""

Submarine Warfare, 2007.
This paper discusses the background and function of submarines today.
1,074 words (approx. 4.3 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 37.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper reveals the history and development of submarines. The paper explains that these early crafts were little more than experimental models and were occasionally used as a weapon of desperation by states with weak navies that offered no real threat to major naval powers. The paper shows, however, how today's submarines are "deadly ship-killers." The paper notes that although the acquisition and operational and repair costs of submarines are high, they have become a vital part of global navies.
From the Paper
"In 1578, former Navy gunner William Bourne designed the first recorded underwater navigational craft. It had a wooden framework bound in waterproofed leather and was to be submerged by employing hand vises that contracted the sides and decreased the volume (Saga). His design was never built, but a similar craft was built in 1605, however during its first underwater trial it became stuck in the river bottom (Saga). In 1620, Cornelius Van Drebbel designed the first practical submarine, a rowboat covered in greased leather. While rowers pulled on oars that protruded through flexible leather seals in the hull, snorkel air tubes held above the surface by floats, allowed the craft to remain submerged for several hours (Saga)."

Abstract
This paper explains that many people think of foreign policy as exclusively pertaining to military action but, in reality, international strategies can pertain to all aspects of international affairs, including diplomacy, economic assistance and developmental assistance. The author points out that, using the international strategy called development assistance, the U.S. helped South Vietnam build its infrastructure and economy and provided many new products to be used for agricultural production. The paper relates that, as part of its foreign policy, the United States educates the world about America and implementing American products, ideas and cultures in different countries; thereby, McDonald's and The Gap have set-up shops in the cities of Vietnam and are doing a huge business.
Table of Contents:
How the U.S. Implements Strategies in Vietnam
Diplomatic Relations
Broad Foreign Policy
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Diplomacy is a strategy used by many nations including the United States in resolving issues without resorting to war. The issues can be military issues, economic issues, social or cultural issues. They have a potentially negative impact on their relationships between the two nations or they have the ability to create tension that could ultimately lead to war. The diplomats that are chosen to represent each nation are chosen for their lifetime achievements and their well known ability to mediate and help resolve situations that can become volatile."

Abstract
This paper presents an exploration of the national security affairs of Vietnam. It examines Vietnam's major and minor adversaries and discusses the national purpose of Vietnam and how that interest creates international conflict or affects international relations. The paper also uncovers the source of power for Vietnam and summarizes any threat that Vietnam is currently facing.
Outline:
Introduction
Major Adversary
Minor Adversary
National Purpose
Ideologies
National Threat
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The national purpose of Vietnam is three fold. The first purpose that the nation has is to rebuild its highways, roads, bridges, trade industry and agricultural abilities that were destroyed during the conflict. This has been a steady goal of the nation since the 1970's.
The second purpose of Vietnam is to develop strong relations with the United States. The United States has recently become the number one trading partner with Vietnam. The exports and imports of the nations currently total $4 billion annually with growth on the horizon. The continued friendship between the United States and Vietnam is important as a national purpose for Vietnam as it continues to avoid China's watchful eye and wrath.
As long as Vietnam and the United States remain friendly and continue to build relations Vietnam will feel more comfortable if a face off with China ever occurs. With the US as an ally it is probable that China will think twice before making any move in the direction of Vietnam(Heitzman, 1991). "

Abstract
This paper examines the reasons behind the war in Iraq and how subsequent developments such as the failure of the U.S. forces to find any weapons of mass destruction (WMD), a determined Iraqi insurgency against the U.S. occupation and the Abu Gharib scandal have further put grave doubts on the wisdom and legitimacy of the U.S. action. It argues that the U.S. invasion of Iraq violates the international law and is a war of aggression and also examines the justifications given by the U.S. administration for the war.
Outline:
Background of the War
The United States' Arguments about the Legality of the Iraq War and their Rebuttal
The United Nations' View on the Iraq Invasion
Status of the International Criminal Court
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The 1991 Gulf War ended in a cease-fire as per the UN Resolution # 686, which required Iraq to accept and abide by all previous Security Council resolutions - including Resolution # 678. The cease-fire resolution also authorized UN inspection teams to enter Iraq and ensure that its regime complied with UN arms limitation treaties such as the Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). When UN inspectors discovered that Saddam Hussein was in not complying with such treaties, the United Nations passed another resolution (No. 687) imposing economic sanctions that were not to be lifted until Iraq was once again in substantial compliance with all UN arms conventions, including the NPT. (Ibid.) "

Abstract
This paper analyzes "The New Nature of Nation-State Failure" by Robert I. Rotberg. According to the paper, Rotberg offers the reader a close and intimate view of what actually occurs and what the citizens undergo as the nation-state's failure plays out according to the lines written by a ruling elite class of powerful governing classes that have essentially taken over the country in a patriarchal and despotic rule.
Outline:
Introduction
Summary
Strengths and Weaknesses
Improvements
Conclusions
From the Paper
"Rotberg moves on to the subject of prevention of such state failure call it much easier than a revival once having failed or collapsed in a destructive manner. Long and expensive are the call words that Rotberg assigns to revival of a country after such as state of failure and collapse has been reached. Creation of security, administrative structure, a bureaucracy and location of funds are the steps taken in the first effort of revival of a collapsed state along with establishment of a legal code and system, training of court officials and opening of courtrooms, restarting of schools, rebuilding and refurbishing of hospitals, building of roads, gathering of demographical statistics. Although Rotberg states that elections are not first priority but constitutions and elections to encourage democracy are very important. It is more important according to Rotberg that strength is given to nation states prior to failure as it is much easier to attempt revival from this point instead of after failure and collapse. He cites 'outside support' as being 'conditional on monetary and fiscal streamlining' with 'renewed attention to good governance, with reforms of land tenure systems and strict adherence to the rule of law" taking place. Nothing that endures can be accomplished in a short period of time. It is very important that failure of many of these states is prevented but it is also costly. These places ethnic cleansing and famines result in the newly failed states with terrorist groups taking hold. "

Abstract
The paper describes the history of unrest in the Middle Eastern region. The paper contends that through Western policies, embargoes, fear and greed, the Middle East has been caught in a continuous cycle of oppression and restriction with very little hope of escaping. The paper maintains that the interest the Western world has in the Middle East's natural resources generate frustration, fear and poverty, which in turn generates a highly fertile environment for the violence and deliberate aggression of terrorism. The paper shows how U.S. foreign polices have done nothing to reduce the threat of terrorism in the Middle East. The paper asserts that only truly humanitarian efforts can bring about a positive change in the region.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The struggles of the Ottoman Empire against the Western world are well documented all the way back through the conflicts with the Roman Empire. Even then the focus was on the resources that the Middle East, such as silk and spices, that were sorely missed in Europe. Not only were the resources a major issue, but the struggle for Christian domination over Islam was a major goal as well. Constant clashes over trade routes and control in then independent countries laid the foundation for centuries of conflict."

Discussion
From the Paper
"The carbon dioxide produced by motor gasoline in 2003 was equivalent to 311 million metric tons of carbon [Bureau of Transportation Statistics, 2005]. If we could achieve even 10% improvement in energy efficiency through use of lighter cars, it would save million of tons of oil and also reduce the carbon emission by 30 million tons. The 10% target is not just possible it is very realistic and even now a family car is about 25% more fuel efficient than a light truck (a term also applied to SUVs). The federal corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards set the fuel economy goals for new passenger cars at 27.5 miles per gallon (mpg). The regulations do not classify SUVs as cars but as light trucks. The light trucks only have to achieve 20.7 mpg. Even this is taken as an average of all light trucks and some SUVs operate at 12 mpg and can remain on the road legally. Some SUVs like Ford Excursions don't even qualify as light trucks and are not subject to CAFE standard."
