Abstract
This paper discusses the revisionist views of Walter LaFeber, Arnold Offner and John Gaddis with regards to the outbreak of the Cold War. It specifically focuses on their claim that the USA and Great Britain were also responsible for the outbreak of the Cold War, as their strategy of foreign policy was short-sighted and, in many respects, lacked responsibility for the future.
From the Paper
"Drawing a conclusion, it's important to note that the ideas of revisionist authors such as Walter LaFeber, Arnold Offner and John Gaddis are based on rationalism, yet evaluation of definite political issues is made from the perspective of people who are free of "western propaganda". The cold war was inevitable already, at the end of WWII, as both super powers revealed its potential, which was hidden and undervalued in pre-war years. The Marshall Plan, which in many respects accelerated the coming of the Cold War, was also inevitable, due to the popularity of communist and socialist ideas in France, Italy and Germany, especially in years of reconstruction, when European nations lacked economic stability and bearable conditions of living. The collapse of the colonial system with its unpredictable circumstances was also more a fault of former empires, than a fault of the USA, as none of the empires appeared able to control political and social processes in their former colonies."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the transformations that occurred in the intelligence field after the Second World War and during the Cold War brought up what can be called an intelligence revolution because of the nature of these transformations. The writer points out that the United States experienced a rapid growth in military technique, but there was also an unprecedented international willingness to share intelligence. Considering these changes, the impact of the intelligence revolution on the evolution of the United States was considerable. The writer maintains that the technological developments in the intelligence field during the Cold War caused an intelligence revolution in the US which made it possible for the United States to have a great advantage over its enemies. The writer concludes that the supremacy of US intelligence has not been questioned until 2001, after the terrorist attacks. More and more voices now call for another intelligence revolution that would adapt the U.S. to the new circumstances.
From the Paper
"Before the Second World War the American intelligence was at a very low level, at least comparing to what followed. There was little valuable intelligence information related to the Soviet Union, Germany or Japan which was taken directly from the source, through field agents. American intelligence was mostly directed against internal threats represented by communist supporters and later, Nazi agents. However, this was the period when the transformations in the intelligence field began. US agents were making strides in code breaking and the organization of intelligence services began to function a little more complex.
"The message encoding represented the first step towards a more elaborate intelligence. This was most noticeable after the Pearl Harbour attacks and was focused especially on the Japanese. US efforts for cracking Japanese military messages intensified after the attacks and the leader in this effort was the Combat Intelligence Unit belonging to the US Navy. Due to the technical evolution, the US military was able to crack the Japanese code and intercept thousands of messages during the World War II."

Universal Human Rights, 2008.
Argues that the Bible cannot be used as a substitute for a declaration of universal human rights.

Abstract
This paper explains that it is necessary to have a universal declaration of human rights to which all countries must refer because the Bible is not enough to enforce these rights. The paper relates that even if the Bible did teach about universal human rights, it would not be a persuasive document for many of the world's countries because there are very few purely religious states. Furthermore, the majority of the world's people are not Christian. In addition, the Bible itself is very murky on several human rights issues. Next, in order to establish why the Bible cannot substitute for a universal declaration of human rights, the paper provides an explanation of what such a universal declaration would actually mean. The paper explains that the tenets that would comprise the universal declaration of human rights are not necessarily espoused by the Bible.
From the Paper
"In addition, many human rights activists believe that the death penalty is a de facto violation of human rights, regardless of the guilt or innocence of the person to be executed and the nature of the crime committed by that person. However, the Bible clearly endorses the application of the death penalty. Moreover, the Bible endorses the use of the death penalty in areas where most of the modern world has determined its use to be inappropriate. Amaziah executed his father's assassins, and the Bible described him as doing "what was right in the eyes of the LORD.""

From the Paper
"There are other issues I hope you can work on, as well, Mr. President. Shell Oil, as you know, has been allowing gas flares to burn and burn and burn. Many groups have protested against the burning of these gases, which are a product of the production of crude oil. This is a terrible abuse of our environment. For one thing it contributes to global warming, and for another, it hurts the air that our citizens breathe. Chevron, Texaco, and Mobil are also exploiting our people by polluting our air - and to top it off, money these American oil companies are making is not shared fairly with Nigerians."

Abstract
This paper looks at how, in order to ascertain the degree to which states exercise their power, it is first necessary to properly analyze the components which define great powers - that is the political, military, and, most importantly, economic components. The writer then discusses several theories that quantify power in terms of these components, noting that there have been numerous examples of great powers that have exercised their political, military, and economic influence throughout the centuries. Next, the writer examines the current international scene and asserts that, at this time, the international scene is not dominated by a great power, nor should it be. The paper concludes that, while there have been numerous examples of great powers that have exercised their political, military, and economic influence throughout the centuries, at this time, and taking into account the current evolutions in international affairs in terms of security, financial supremacy and political diversity, it is hard to find a state that would fit the traditional definition of a great power.
From the Paper
"However, the range of their power cannot be compared to any subsequent definitions of the term great power due to the fact that at the time, the Hellenistic world was considered to be the only one available for states to claim. In this sense, one cannot look at the magnitude of their influence but from a military perspective. Nonetheless, in all confrontations that took place at the time victory resulted in the political domination of the adversary. The Macedonian empire under the rule of Alexander exercised complete political control over the territories it conquered. Even so, neither example can be certified as being but regional powers because of the limited amount of time they manifested their dominance."

The English System - Order out of Chaos, 2008.
An analysis of the theories of the English School of International Relations with regards to order versus chaos.

Abstract
This paper discusses the English School of International Relations' stress upon cooperation and order, rather than upon chaos, within the international system. It discusses their theories and their arguments and then specifically looks at why according to the English School of International Relations, there is such a high degree of order in the international system.
From the Paper
"Within these spheres of overlap there is also a possibility to cement as well as destabilize a nation and a world. An American of Jewish origin may support the existence of Israel, for example, and draw attention to the plight of the Middle East, stimulating interest in this region of the world within his or her own nation. An economic alliance between two corporations generates a community, and a mutual interest in regional stability, as well as an opportunity of human beings working in a foreign land to better understand another culture. The potential for community ties thus is just as great as the potential of non-state communities to strain the borders of nations and to influence national politics--and thus, the 'center' does 'hold.'"

Abstract
This paper states that China has recovered its larger economic, political and military stature in East Asia and is becoming a major power in the world. This ominous development is of supreme concern and interest to the United States. The author discusses China's complex relationship with Taiwan and its apprehension about Japan's agreement with the United States on a theater missile defense (TMD) system and on launching spy satellites. The paper explains the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the concern of China about the nuclearization of India, Pakistan and North Korea.
From the Paper
"Although almost all states in the world signed the NPT, the world remained insecure and at the brink of nuclear proliferation and disaster. Observers and critics believe that preventing this would require States with nuclear capabilities to reconsider their stand on a higher moral standpoint and discard their nuclear modernization programs. Israel, India, Pakistan and North Korea, for example, needed to terminate their respective programs and agendas, using nuclear weapons."

The Impact of Terrorism, 2008.
This paper explores the economic consequences of a terror attack in general and of 9/11 in particular.

Abstract
The paper explains that the economic results of terrorism can be broken down into short-term direct effects; medium-term confidence consequences and longer-term productivity impacts. The paper reveals that the impact of 9/11 was not as considerable as would have been expected, but emphasizes that industries and organizations must implement measures to prepare for another such attack. The paper asserts that it is not a question 'if' there will be another attack, it is a question of 'when'.
From the Paper
"When a terrorism attack hits a country, such as September 11, 2001, naturally the citizens of that nation are most affected. They are the ones who are immediately impacted by the injuries and deaths of peers, friends and loved ones, the shut down of production and services, and the psychological and physical long-term effects. However, such an attack also impacts the rest of the world economically, either through the way that the national organizations have difficulty fulfilling their international obligations or the way that other countries perceive that they, too, are being threatened by these same terrorists."
