Sanction is an attractive tool for politicians to solve international disputes, because they result in much lower costs and loss of lives, as opposed to the war. Most of the historic sanctions against Russia were declared unilaterally by the United States, but in recent years Europe began to take a more active role, although United…

In most cases of human rights abuses, it’s easy to identify the problem, but it’s infinitely more difficult to find viable solutions. What’s difficult about the Roma rights crisis is that it’s difficult to convince people that a problem even exists in the first place. The question for the average French citizen isn 't "How do we solve the problem?"; it more closely resembles “Is there a problem?” or “Should we fix it?” This is not unprecedented: those who benefit from a system of oppression…

Question: Does globalization diminish the role of the modern-nation state in favour of international institutions? Word Count: 1,855 Globalization may be conceived as the increasing interconnectedness of the world, creating an ever shrinking global community. Innovative technologies allow people to communicate and materials to be transported at never-before-seen speeds, with ever-decreasing costs.

Groups such as the European union (EU) and to a lesser extend those such as the African Union, Association of Southeast Asian Nations and Caribbean Community are all organizations that exist as either a supranationalist or quasi supranationalist organization. Each of these organizations experiences both positive benefits to the agreements between their nations and selective pressures against them. While there may be unforeseen benefits to the creation of one world wide supranationalist super…

Word Count: 2,117 Globalization is the process of increasing the interconnectedness of the world, creating an ever-shrinking global community. Innovative technologies allow people to communicate and materials to be transported at never-before-seen speeds, with ever-decreasing costs. Hence, globalization naturally limits state 's power; it reduces state revenues, while consolidating political power in international institutions. Such institutions stand as more capable and comprehensive political…

Mexicans as a new labor supply. While advocates for continued Mexican immigration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries succeeded in garnering support for Mexican labor through both the positive manipulation of negative Mexican stereotypes and economic…

as it was a joint partnership between two economically and culturally different states--England and France. Bent Flyvberg is one of the first academics to study megaprojects from a program management perspective in order to better understand the economic, social, and environmental impacts, which is what drives the organizational interest in our case study of the Concorde. This paper will use the framework of his megaproject management study in order to understand the plethora of issues that…

only know the American Judicial system and free market economic way of life. The Internet has provided me an easement for my desire to know more about the different European judicial and economic systems. But this isn 't adequate for me. Reading about the European Union is substantial, but it is nothing in comparison of learning from it in person and practicing it in real situations. I had the privilege of exploring three different European countries this past summer, United Kingdom, Italy and…
