Abstract
This paper discusses the criteria for entering an armed intervention and how they might conflict with each other as well as discussing the criteria that the student would establish for entering an armed conflict if he/she were the President of the United States.

From the Paper
"The text describes three types of armed intervention-unilateral, multilateral via the U.N. Security Council and multilateral via a collective regional defense system. (Viotti Kauppi) Unilateral intervention takes place between just two parties with one state responding to an attack by another with a military intervention of its own. Multilateral intervention by the U.N. Security Council is an intervention that would be agreed on by the Council and multiple nations would be involved. Multilateral intervention via a collective regional defense system would be..."

Abstract
The paper discusses the terrorist group, Armed Islamic Group, and then discusses motivation for terrorists, causes of terrorism, and how to plan counterterrorist strategies.

From the Paper
"As facile as the phrase may be, one man's terrorist is often another man's freedom fighter. Katerina Dalacoura made precisely this point in discussing the various categories of putatively terrorist organizations operating in the world today. Some such groups are more legitimately called domestic insurgencies which operate with respect to a political or ideological agenda. This essay will present a case analysis of one terrorist group and answer a series of questions regarding the group's motivation, its tactics and..."

Abstract
In comparing the British and Spanish Empires, it is evident that the British Empire was more extensive, more profitable, and more enduring than the Spanish Empire primarily because the British used the wealth and power they acquired from their imperial possessions to generate even more wealth and power through domestic and foreign investment in trade and business enterprises, to strengthen control over their colonies, and to develop industrialization.

Abstract
This paper looks at how Africa was Europeanized by the British Empire - and at how a complementary process took place featuring Africans re-shaping both Great Britain and the British Colonies in America via forced and unforced immigration and via unpaid toil. The paper discusses how while the British role in producing modern Africa - with its strengths and its weaknesses - was invaluable, the African-American and African-Briton role in turning these nations into greater powers, and the British Empire into the wealthiest empire in human history up to that time, may ultimately prove the more enduring contribution. The paper notes that given demographic trends, the Africanization of the United Kingdom by those arriving at its shores seeking a new life is unlikely to halt any time soon.

Abstract
The military history of British involvement in India began, fully, in 1857 when Indian forces staged a revolt against the British East India Company. The Indian army began as an indigenous force run by British officers. The British role in India, far surpassed the history of British Imperialism anywhere else in the world.

Abstract
In this paper, the variables of colonial surveillance found in Mitchell's analysis of British policy in Egypt, allows for other aspects of surveillance that involved the ideology of self governing and the penal systems brought forth by the British colonial system. By creating a penal system that constantly criminalized the local populations, a surveillance system could be validated to control Egyptians who denied British rule.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the influence of American films on the British film industry, noting that since British audiences consume American films, it is logical that consumption of American-style films should follow suit. The paper also suggests that emulation of American-style films is a negativism for the British film industry in other ways. Specifically, emulation of American blockbusters reduces incentives for participants in British film to develop and refine their own unique style. This paper explores these issues.

From the Paper
"The British film industry often frames itself in respect to its counterpart, the American film industry. Movies made in the United States typically gross larger sums than British films, a point that has long motivated the British film industry to identify American movie-making as a more profitable model. However, emulation of American films by British studios has typically fallen short of projections: the British film-going..."

Abstract
This paper deals with the topic of British social supremacy and how it manifests itself through the presence of architecture in the novels "The Fifth Child" by Doris Lessing and "Wide Sargasso Sea" by Jean Rhys. The paper explains that Antoinette, perceived as racially inferior to Rochester because of her Creole heritage, and Ben, a representative of the lower working class, pose threats to the social order created by the British as represented by their ordering of architectural space. The paper further points out that author Lessing, arriving back to England from Rhodesia, and author Rhys, being a Creole herself, have felt the judgment imposed on them by British society, imposing their standards upon these two women while not fully accepting them into their culture. The paper concludes that both authors reject this notion of British supremacy and colonial attitude towards inferior subcultures by rejecting the efforts of Ben and Antoinette's oppressors to enclose their victims within an architectural space of dominance.

From the Paper
" It would erroneous to suggest that Lessing's Ben Lovatt and Rhys' Antoinette Cosway are parallel figures; clearly there is enough distinction between the two novels to delineate one from the other. However, that is not to say that Antoinette and Ben are not the same kind of literary figure, one that is typified by the world in which he or she lives as the "savage other." Lessing and Rhys use similar motifs in their narratives to create a set of criteria to characterize marginalized figures. Both Ben and Antoinette have a predilection for the outdoors, particularly the garden, in their early stages of development. Ben's mother Harriet laments that her son "would suddenly, for no reason she could see, take off and run into the garden." He is also described several times throughout the novel as looking like a garden gnome, "With his yellowish stubbly low-growing hair, his stony unblinking eyes, his stoop, his feet planted apart and his knees bent, his clenched held-forward fists." Antoinette, symbolizing the same connection to outdoor space, finds a refuge in the wilderness: "There is the tree of life in the garden and the wall green with moss. The barrier of the cliffs and the high mountains. And the barrier of the sea. I am safe." By associating Ben and Antoinette with the outdoors, their respective authors impart onto them a sense of primitive behavior that characterized human beings before man became associated with cities and urban life."

Abstract
This paper explains that, when the Dutch settled in their North American colonies, they brought with them slaves to do the manual labor on their farms. These Africans arrived from the Caribbean in 1625 or 1626 as slaves to the Dutch West India Company. The author points out that rules regarding their servitude were not as harsh as they would become in the future under British rule. The paper relates that, as early as 1630, freed slaves settled the swampy predecessor to the Greenwich Village area of New York City, which remained a black neighborhood for almost 200 years. The author describes the revolt of 1712, which was the result of the stricter British rules.

From the Paper
"The ensuing revolt of 1712 was inevitable: the new British rules were too harsh and too much of a change from the unequal but hopeful and comparatively non-violent status quo previously organized in New Amsterdam. After meeting in a tavern, twenty-
three Africans armed themselves with hatchets, clubs, and guns and set fire to a centrally-located building in New York. When Europeans came to combat the blaze, several of them were killed and wounded. Local militias rounded up twenty-seven slaves
in retribution, six of whom committed suicide under capture."
