"Introduction
Since the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, Germany has undergone significant changes throughout its culture. Divided by the Allies after World War II, the country was reunited in the early 1990s bringing the formerly communist East Germany (German Democratic Republic) into the democratic and capitalist West (Federal Republic of Germany). The reunification has not been without problems: unemployment runs high among those from the former East Germany, for example, and there has been an increase in the number of nationalist demonstrations in recent years. In addition, the country has seen a large influx of refugees from other former communist countries, and Germany's once strong economy has faltered somewhat as the nation tries to assimilate these new residents. Germany was also instrumental in bringing about not only the European.."

" This paper discusses the U.N. involvement in the Yugoslav conflict. The paper is comprised of two parts.

The formerly Yugoslav federation was comprised of various ethnic groups, namely the Slovenes, the Croats, the Serbs, and the Bosnians.

"TRANSITIONAL ECONOMIES: MOVING FROM A PLANNED TO A MARKET ECONOMY IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC
Introduction
Five-to-six years after the collapse of state socialism in Central and Eastern Europe, democracy and free enterprise are spreading sporadically throughout the region (Brown, 1995, p. 25). By 1995, more than a third of economic output was being produced by the private sector, shortages had virtually disappeared, and financial fortunes were being accumulated by a new class of entrepreneurs in the former socialist economies of Eastern Europe. Brown (1995, p. 25) stated that: ?The casual outside observer may be forgiven for assuming that it will be only a matter of time before these initially disadvantaged countries achieve sustained rates of economic growth and acquire the .."

"On May 25, 1993, U.N. Security Council Resolution 827 established an international tribunal charged with prosecuting violations of international law arising from the armed conflicts in the former Yugoslavia. Not since the Nuremberg and Tokyo trials, following World War II has an international court tried individuals accused of crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide. The International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTFY), which was established at The Hague, Netherlands, is widely seen as an important step toward the deterrence of crimes, the establishment of the firm rule of international law, and the promotion of world peace. Yet, from its inception, the tribunal has generated controversy among supporters and detractors. Among those who believe that the tribunal idea is sound, the principal concerns are that such an institution be established on a sound.."

"CEAUSESCU REGIME IN ROMANIA
This research paper presents the essential features of the regime of Nikolae Ceausescu in Romania (1965 1989). That period was the most macabre chapter in Romania's turbulent modern history. Ceausescu became Party Secretary in 1965 and ruled the country until he and his wife, Elena, were executed by a firing squad after they had been condemned to death by a secret military tribunal in the wake of the successful revolution of mid December, 1989. The Ceausescu regime was characterized by political repression, ruinous economic policies, an idiosyncratic foreign policy and a bizarre, divisive and ultra nationalistic social agenda.
Introduction
Ceausescu was born in 1918 in the province of Oltenia, a.."

"Since the 1989 withdrawal of Soviet forces from Afghanistan, the country has been torn apart by civil war. Ethnic groups have been fighting a war characterized by shifting alliances and no sign that anyone can ever win. In addition to ethnic rivalries, there are religious disputes between Shi'a and Sunni Muslims. None of the factions seems interested in seceding from the state, although many, such as the Uzbeks and the Tajiks, live mainly in areas that border the 'home' nations of their ethnic groups. Western interest in Afghanistan dropped off once the Soviets fled and the wars are seldom reported in the Western daily press. Five articles on the civil war in Afghanistan are reviewed here. They range from August 1993 to July 1995. All are concerned with the same subject, but address it from different points of view.
The writers' perspectives range from the ultra-conservative.."

"TRANSITION FROM SOVIET TO RUSSIAN EDUCATION
Introduction
This research examines the transitions in education from the late-period of the Russian Soviet Socialist Republic, a constituent state of the Soviet Union, to the early-period of the Russian Republic, a politically independent nation. The period covered in this research roughly spans the mid-1980s through the mid-1990s.
Problem Statement
The Soviet Union was an ideologically based state that both politicized and biased education as a part of governmental policy (Yegorov, 1993, p. 13). Modifications of this approach to education began in the Soviet Union prior to the collapse of Communist rule, as.."

"According to one observer, animosity among ethnic groups in the global context ?is beginning to rival the spread of nuclear weapons as the most serious threat to peace that the world faces.? While conflicts based in ethnic tensions tend to be localized in setting, the implications for world peace typically have a much wider scope. The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, as an example has had, thus far, ?little immediate impact on relations among the great powers, but much larger consequences could flow from the tensions rising between the Russian Republic and the Baltic states. If Russia were to move militarily to protect its co-nationals in Estonia or Latvia, where they are now being mistreated, a cold peace would develop between Moscow and..."

"Ethnic differences between the Balkan republics during the last century are the driving force behind today's war in the former Yugoslavia. Although once united in an uneasy peace with one another under a watered down communist regime, the republics have always been divided by ethnic, religious, and political differences. By the 1990s, these differences reached a flashpoint, and the Yugoslavian republics were headed on a collision course.
Because the Yugoslavian republics had been federally forced together despite their differences, what appeared as relative stability was, in fact, an explosion waiting to happen. Some of the differences leading to the ongoing bitterness and strife between the different republics will be examined. In addition, an overview of past communist rule will show that the republics have always struggled for autonomy, despite strong federal forces. Finally, a look at future possibilities will include a discussion of the probability of peace or continued war."
