Policemen to the World

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses that changes in the perception of the structure of power in the world and a new era of cooperation instead of antagonism among world nations has created the need for policemen. The paper presents examples from the Bosnian War, the second Gulf War and the situation in Iraq (written prior to the war). The author presents the possible global political units to develop over the next 20 years.

From the Paper:

"Yet, such cooperation often involves antagonism. It did in the Gulf War, where the United States and certain Middle Eastern nations fought against Iraq. That coalition does not exist in the current crisis, but the United States is so far going ahead with some support from the United Nations, primarily in the form of weapons inspectors. The United States here is clearly acting as the world's policeman, using its power to force the world to inspect Iraq and test Iraq and perhaps eventually, to invade Iraq in order to remove the "criminal," Saddam Hussein. This is similar to what the United States did in Bosnia-Herzegovina, acting to remove a government leader and force a change in the way the nation was governed."
