From the Paper
"WPPA has the best overall physical capacity for the conference. It has the largest available square footage, and was available on the date of the conference. Similarly, there are adequate accommodations for guests that will need to stay overnight, and or other individuals who prefer to stay at the hotel for the duration of the conference. The facilities are exquisite and offer a particular ambiance that is relevant to the overall Coca Cola image. The conference room at WPPA is also connected to the Hotel (in some cases, like the Sheraton, the executive suites were across the street); the hotel is close to the airport and the Coca Cola headquarter offices, so there are no access issues that are overwhelming or bothersome."

"The easy or rapid access to the venue is necessary for the satisfaction of the delegates and buyers and all transports have to be nearby: parking, buses, train, taxis stations.
"The availability had to accommodate the entire requirement and take care of some risk factors such as the weather (if outside), the target audience, resources availability (if others events take place. The availability can include all the condition of contract and permissions related to the venue and its location : close timing, charges, fees."

From the Paper
"These discussions should finally determine the expected financial outcome for the conference. The decision may be taken that the conference will break even or produce a marginal positive income. Once that decision is taken, then the steps must be taken to reach the targeted goal. Based on these decisions, it is also possible to decide the ethicality of certain procedures like seeking of funds from the local community or from the local businesses."

Abstract
This paper examines the First International Peace Conference and identifies the background, or what led to the meeting of delegations, the factors, actors, and what was as stake. The paper then explores the decisions and interactions that took place, as well as the outcomes of the conference. The writer then evaluates the outcome and examines what might have been done differently, as well as how the effect of a different outcome may have demonstrated itself historically.

From the Paper
"The spring and summer of 1899 was witness to the gathering of twenty-six nations of the world for the First International Peace Conference which was held at the "House in the Woods" at The Hague by generous offer of The Netherlands Queen, Wilhemenia. Although the gathering failed to effectively address disarmament the adoption of other important agreements and conventions paved the way for collective efforts to follow."

Abstract
The paper explains that New Zealand's family group conference (FGC) is a way of providing a culturally sensitive approach to the management of children who get in trouble with law enforcement. The paper focuses on how the law is to provide full participation for the Maori community and how it embraces the restorative justice approach to problem solving that can result in a reduced rate of recidivism. The paper also emphasizes how the courts and government agencies must allow the community to participate in decisions that affect families. The paper concludes by highlighting the need for continuing cooperation and communication between the New Zealand government and the Maori culture.

Introduction
The Family Group Conference in New Zealand
Conclusion

From the Paper
"New Zealand launched a revolutionary and visionary package of legislation in 1989 called the Children, Young Persons and their Families Act - and from that bill the Family Group Conference (FGC) was born. The notion setting the stage for this new law was that there was a need for far greater participation by family members and community members when there is an instance of youthful lawbreaking. In terms of the management of the child from that point on, and discipline the child should receive, and the cultural and social implications of the process of justice, the FGC was viewed as not only important but also vitally necessary. It was, as Nicola Atwool and Cindy Kiro of the Office of Children's Commissioner explain, "a radical change," and moreover, it set an "international precedent for the involvement of children and families in decisions affecting them" (Atwool, et al, 2006)."

Abstract
This paper briefly discusses the period of history known as the 'scramble for Africa' when European countries tried to colonize as much of Africa as possible in the late 1800s until the start of WWI. It looks at the political, social, and nationalistic reasons for this hype and, in turn, discusses the resulting need for the Berlin Conference in 1884-1885. It explains how this conference was necessary to make international 'rules' about colonization.

From the Paper
"The competition among the European nations to colonize Africa led to the Berlin Conference in 1884-1885. This was necessary because of the intense amount of treaty-making and colony-building by the competing European nations, and it became a three-month bargaining session among the 14 attending nations regarding who would gain control over what parts of Africa, without regard for the cultural boundaries already in place. The nations attending were Germany, Austria-Hungary, Belgium, Denmark, France, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden and Norway, Turkey and the United States. (Wikipedia) The main purposes of the conference became assuring nations access to major trade routes, suppressing the internal slave trade in Africa, banning the importation of firearms into Africa, and discussion of the occupation of territories. "The result of this conference was a treaty called the Treaty of Berlin. By 1900, almost 90% of Africa was under European control." (Bergstrom)

Abstract
This paper examines the evolution of the political relationship between the U.S. and the Soviet Union after WWII. The paper explains how both countries viewed the other country's political objective and how these perspectives ultimately shaped all other international relations in the period from the Potsdam Conference until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989.

From the Paper
"Though the United States and the Soviet Union emerged from World War II as putative allies and co-victors in the struggle against Nazi Germany, the reality of the period following World War II is that the United States and the Soviet Union were not allies in any meaningful sense. Whereas the United States positioned itself as supportive of a return to national autonomy in all of Europe, Arnold A. Offner has argued that the Soviets saw a defeated Europe as a logical locus for the extension of Soviet interests and hegemony."

Abstract
This paper charters the political career of "Colonel" Edward Mandell House and in particular his time as the trusted adviser to Woodrow Wilson. It looks at how House played an important role in the peace process at the end of World War I and how he was the American representative for the surrender of Germany, before arriving at the Paris peace conference as Wilson's personal representative. It discusses how he tried to secure a future for Germany with concessions made to the French outside of the limits of power and guidelines that he had been given to him by Wilson thus compromising Wilson's position.

From the Paper
"Although Wilson and House were close, House remained an accomplished and ambitious political operator. He had been observing Wilson, and had concluded that Wilson's methods of doing things was not quick enough or ultimately going to solve any problems. He was also very passionate about the league of nations, and felt that Germany should not be treated to harshly, he said that "if the conditions we impose upon Germany are unjust, it will simply mean the breeding of another war." As house began to listen to all sides of the argument over the Rhineland. He took on board all sides of the argument, and was eventually able to come up with a solution that would be acceptable to all sides, and eventually decided to give permission for the French to create a Rhenish republic, at least until they were able to rebuild militarily. House tried his best to address this issue, by suggesting the now infamous "demilitarization of the Rhineland," which was to happen in three stages."
