Abstract
This paper discusses American foreign policy before Vietnam and foreign policy in Vietnam, and shows how a number of the elements that led to these policies were present in governmental perspectives for decades.
From the Paper
"Though the foreign policies decisions that were instrumental in the Vietnam War were different from the policies that supported other international actions during the 20th century, including World War II and the Korean War, a number of the elements that led to these policies were present in governmental perspectives for decades. One of the most significant influencing factors in the policy developments of the Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon administrations was the perceived threat of communism and the necessity of action to prevent its spread. This factor had been present in the development of foreign policy since before the First World War, and led to the perception of the necessity of force to stomp out its proliferation."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the Vietnam War offered the conditions for the US to realize the change in the international political environment and the need for diplomatic cooperation more than military confrontation. The paper looks at Henry Kissinger's new diplomacy that offered the detente period, which advocated for the first time the existence of more than two centers of power. The paper shows how from this point on, subsequent administrations worked, more or less, to reaching a peaceful outcome to the Cold War.
From the Paper
"The Vietnam War can be rightfully seen as a pivotal moment in the history of the 20th century. The human loss could only be estimated, as there were too many unknown events that influenced the final outcome of the victim count, as "over 57, 000 Americans- and hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese- died. Total American expenses have been calculated at over a trillion dollars." (Rothney and Findley, 1986, 300) However important is the human factor, aside from the tragedies of the Vietnamese and American peoples who engaged their troops on the battlefield, there is the aspect of the dramatic political shift that the war and its outcome provoked."

U.S. Cold War Foreign Policy Failures, 2002.

Abstract
This paper explains that the American failures in Cuba and Vietnam in the 1960s were due in large part to the fear, arrogance and ignorance of Cold War containment policies that developed in the aftermath of World War II. The author believes that the problem was the assumption that all political and economic reform movements in Third World nations were not indigenous but were inspired instead by the evil Communist leaders of the Soviet Union. The author states that once this Cold War policy was in effect, no leader of the U.S. had the courage, wisdom or political independence to try to alter fully that policy.
From the Paper
"Kennedy certainly entered office under the pall of the same Cold War ideology and its containment policy, as evidenced by his "missile gap" rhetoric, his increase of advisors in Vietnam, and the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba. It will never be known whether he would have averted a war in Vietnam, but his test-ban treaty with the Soviets, his denunciation of the CIA after the Bay of Pigs disaster, and his plan to withdraw some troops from Vietnam indicate at least a willingness to consider more flexibility in that policy."

Abstract
World War One is considered by many to be the greatest war the world has seen. World War One was the first war of worldwide magnitude and its effects on the world are still reverberating today. This paper explores whether the foreign policies of European governments before 1914 contributed to outbreak of the war. The investigation covers the foreign policies of all major European powers, including Germany, Austria-Hungry, Russia, France and Britain.
From the Paper
"Rivalry between Austria-Hungry and Russia was very evident, and could escalate into conflict easily. The breakup of the Ottoman Empire led to both Russia and Austria-Hungry seeking to profit through the expansion. The Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 was not only a disaster for the Ottomans but for the Austrians as well because enemies such as Serbia had raised an army of 200,000. 4 Serbia desired to unite all Serbs including the 7.3 million Serbs who lived in Austria-Hungry with the 3.3 million who lived within the boundaries of Serbia. Serbia had the support of Russia in freeing the Serbs from oppressive empires such as Austria-Hungry. In 1908 the Austrian annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina ended Austro-Russian collaboration and opened an era of suspicion and antagonism."

Impact of Global Governance on the Concept of "New Wars" in the Contemporary World System
From the Paper
"The Human Security Report 2005 has come up with various principles and assumptions that have been considered remarkable for the global changes and trends towards the contemporary era and the future as well. After the Cold War, global trends towards security and minimizing war became more intense than ever. In the Part V of the Human Security Report 2005 entitled "Why the Dramatic Decline in Armed Conflict", there are three impressive trends mentioned which the viewer can most easily recognize. The three global trends are clear with addressing the root causes of conflict, a much greater willingness to use force, and an assault on the culture of impunity."

Abstract
This essay discusses the Vietnam War not just as a war fought in Asia, but as a war fought in American as it related to cultural change. It was, in many ways, a cultural war that was coming for several years and only needed some powerful fuel to ignite radical changes. The essay concludes with the realization that the psychological impact left on the families and soldiers involved in Vietnam, was greater than anyone imagined.
From the paper:
?The country was living in the lap of luxury, or more specifically in the lap of capitalism. America was proud, yet was also beginning to feel pressure concerning truly solid realities such as the inequality of the African American and women. The Vietnam War served to ignite many fires, changing the American culture in many ways.?

Abstract
This paper describes the numerous positions, both civilian and military, held by American women serving in the Vietnam War and the heroism with which they fulfilled those duties. The paper also discusses the way female Vietnam veterans were often treated by the American public when they returned from the war and the awards and medals they received for their service.
From the Paper
"Women, military as well as civilian, volunteered to go to Vietnam for a variety of reasons. Some went out of a sense of duty, to be patriotic; some wanted to help the people they saw on the television news every night. Some went seeking adventure, a purpose, a cause. In his inaugural address, President John F. Kennedy spoke of saving the United States from communism, and many women believed they could make a difference in the battle. Whatever their reasons for going, American women were active in the war in Vietnam."

From the Paper
"For many years the Chinese Yuan was pegged to the U.S. dollar and, until recently, this was not a foreign policy issue. However, as the U.S. as well as other markets, have seen their import markets grow far beyond their export markets and consequently maintain extreme trade deficits, the artificial manipulation of the Yuan has now become a matter of foreign policy. Many foreign markets view China's exchange regime, managed float or not, to be an economic weapon and one in which it has not been reticent to utilize."

Abstract
This essay focuses on the Cold War era to provide a picture of what global society was like during that epoch and attempts to draw parallels between that status quo and the emergence of a new Cold War era in foreign policy represented by the War on Terror. The existence of clear-cut walls and borders is assayed in addition to the differing economic systems in existence during the Cold War. Concepts of realism and totalitarianism are discussed, alongside concepts of cultural hegemony and soft power and the idea of cultural transcendence through material considerations and methods of foreign policy dissemination. The defining systems of the Cold War era are addressed in terms of economic and ideological certitudes that have since been challenged with the onset of what many are calling a new epoch of globalization in foreign policy. They have also been counter-construed by the present administration's focus on the polar separation of "good" and "evil," internationally, and the importance of the American perspective.
From the Paper
"Much extant literature on the Cold War focuses on the ord "perceived," in terms of the perceived threat represented by the Soviet Union to interests of the United States along lines of ideology and control. This became a global issue in which the ideologies of communism and free-market capitalism were perceived to be in a locked battle, the stakes of which were heightened by the positions of the Soviet Union and the United States as oppositional superpowers possessing stockpiles of nuclear weapons. The Cold War as an ideological construction itself can be traced to the United States, which did most of the perceiving in terms of threats to its interests in Europe after the second World
War, but the Soviet Union also did its share of perceiving, as when Reagan's absolutist rhetoric and international acts of state-sponsored terror in the 1980s were seen by the Soviet Union to be acts that presaged a confrontation of the two ideologies. Although there were many clashes throughout the Cold War, such as the Cuban missile crisis,
which brought the nations to the brink of this confrontation, it never actually occurred, and with the breakup of the Soviet Union as a reaction of heightened nationalism spurred on by Gorbachev, the Cold War Ended."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the events of September 11th, Pearl Harbor, the Vietnam War and the Cuban Missile Crisis, focusing primarily on American foreign policy related to these events. It discusses how in times of crisis, Americans come together in the common goal of defeating an enemy. It also examines how the tradition of neo-realism has a deep-rooted historical basis in the political philosophy of realism.
From the Paper
"As a theory, national character arguments rely heavily on moralistic arguments-that our way of life is better, morally superior, to other political systems. It "equate[s] the country's national values-individual liberty, religious tolerance, human rights-with universal values" (Hook and Spanier 2004, p.353). This concept of is evident in the language of the 9/11 Commission Report; it devotes an entire chapter (13) to "unity" and different types of unity among Americans and our allies-"unity of effort across the foreign-domestic divide, unity of effort in the intelligence community, unity of effort in sharing information, unity of effort in the Congress." (National Commission, 399-428). This emphasis on "unity" recalls past instances of defending the national character and associates the struggle with terrorism with prior instances of national unity-the Cold War, or Pearl Harbor, for example."
