Realism-Driven Actions of the US Government Since World War II
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper providing examples of realist actions taken by the US government in its dealings with foreign nations. As a mode of practice, the realist school appears to be unattractive and uncaring at best. However, it has been realism on which much of America's current success has been built, and it is realism that has produced much of the prosperity we now enjoy that enables us to share that prosperity with others while still gaining benefit for ourselves as well.

NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization)
[ send me this paper ]
In 7 pages, the author disagrees with the statement 'As a creature of the Cold War, NATO is an institution that has outlived its usefulness and should be disbanded,' and gives reasons for that disagreement. NATO was begun as a Cold War institution, but it will continue to exist as long as there is a necessity for it to do so.

The Threat of Nuclear War in the Post-Cold War World

A Comparison Of The Political Approaches Of The League Of Nations And The United Nations
[ send me this paper ]
The success of the United Nations is based on a conglomeration of many political ideologies and precepts. The unshakable liberalism of democratic values, in concert with the idealistic belief in cooperative security brought Woodrow Wilson to the fore of international politics and was the foundation for the League of Nations. The time was not right, there was too many domestic problems in the world for the League to have the power it needed to handle international conflicts. After World War II, with the change in outlook of domestic policy in the United States and in the Soviet Union, in combination with the neorealist philosophy based on balance of power, the time was right for the establishment of an organization based on cooperative security and the United Nations was founded. This 7 page paper examines the forces that brought the League of Nations into being, explores the reasons it was not able to maintain power and looks at the processes used to conceive the United Nations as the force it is today.

The Present & Future Global Oil Market
