Abstract
This paper discusses the role that the Canadian International Development Agency plays in the development of under-developed countries. CIDA's involvement includes measures to reduce poverty, decrease infant mortality rates, and increase political and economic development. CIDA signed an agreement with other donor nations that emphasizes international involvement in the pursuit of global equality, access to health and education, and improving basic living standards.
From the Paper
" Although the triumph of democracy post cold war helped trigger the global economic boom, developing democracies have benefited least from trade and investment. It is crucial for the international donor community to address potential problems of new policies for promoting democratization of developing countries, otherwise risk losing financial and strategic investments between donors and under-developed countries. The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) values social justice, peace and humanitarianism."

Abstract
During the period from 1918 to 1945, Italy's role in international affairs was over-shadowed by the machinations in Germany and Japan and, at the end, by the ascendancy of the United States and of the Soviet Union to superpower status. Be that as it may, Italy played a key role in setting off the powder keg that became international affairs during the inter-war years through its aggressive foreign policy. Moreover, Italian fascism, while not as vicious or as vehement as its German counterpart, was nonetheless an inspiration of sorts for Hitler. This paper briefly explores Italy's role in the world events of 1918 to 1945 and suggest that, especially in the late 1920s and 1930s, the Italian shadow across international trends was greater than has been commonly supposed.

From the Paper
"Women in the International Division of Labour Maria Mies' chapter entitled "Housewifization International: Women and the New International Division of Labour" examines the role of women in the globalization of labour. I found this chapter extremely useful, as I have recently been learning about the evils attendant upon globalization, but I have not learned about the genderized nature of this movement. In fact, I realize that a gender lens has been conspicuously absent from most of what I have read, and therefore this chapter is valuable in terms of filing in that gap."

From the Paper
"Since value judgements vary between and within cultures, perceptions of what constitutes acceptable behaviour also differ: for example a gift in one country may be considered a bribe in another (Cateora and Ghauri, 2000; Doole and Lowe, 2001). Kotabe and Helsen (2004 p.171) highlight the significance of this for international marketers who ?must understand and respect cultural subtleties, whilst finding the limits of ethical behaviour?; since a company?s ethical stance may affect its ability to do business in some countries. For example, Motorola?s lengthy ?Code of Business Conduct?, sets out standards for accepted behaviour throughout the organisation (see www.motorola.com). They recognise the ?ethical legitimacy? of gift-giving in Japan, but decline to ?participate in the practice? (Hamilton and Knouse, 2001 p.87). This allows the company to show respect for Japanese culture, whilst maintaining its own corporate values. Similarly, consideration should be given to product usage and production processes, which may not be appropriate in certain cultures or environments."

Abstract
This paper discusses the role that international jurisprudence plays in conflicts between nations, and how the role of the international courts is being abused by nations, who want to use the reaps of war, rather than negotiations, to settle their disputes.
From the paper:
"The ICJ reveals itself as impotent even when adjudicating against weaker nations, as illustrated by its farcical order that Iran free its American hostages taken after the Embassy was stormed (Meyer 127). Whether with great powers or less powers, international jurisprudence is helpless to resolve conflicts in which one party merely desires to exploit its power.
Where both parties are mutually interested in an arbitrated solution to a dispute, however, international jurisprudence is useful."

Abstract
This paper describes the Canadian International Development Agency, or the CIDA. The paper gives an overview of the agency and looks into its policies, mission, specific examples of its work and how NGOs and students could become involved or learn more about this agency. The paper discusses how the CIDA gives much needed aid to segments of the world such as Africa.
From the Paper
"The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) considers development within a global community as their vision. This international agency realizes that now, as never before, countries are inescapably linked to one another. How one country treats their environment affects the environmental concerns of another. Changing economic structures affect the economies of other countries, as is currently visible in regards to the economic relationship between China and the United States. Therefore, the development which the CIDA is aiming towards regards equity involving strengthening of economic, environmental, social and governmental policies that are built upon common goals, resources and values internationally and in their homeland, Canada."

A discussion regarding the need for a validity of international law and the International Court of Justice.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the purpose of international law and the role that the International Court of Justice (ICJ) plays in resolving disputes between nation states. The large increase in the number of cases is favorably as it shows the willingness of states to use the Court to reaffirm their conviction in the legality of their position in a conflict against a stronger opponent.
From the Paper
" For as long as history has been recorded, nation states have joined forces by entering into treaties in an effort to avoid violent conflict and war (i.e. League of Nations and Treaty of Versailles). In previous times, the Catholic Church mediated international disputes (Currie 2003). These agreements were implemented in an effort to prevent brutal crimes against society, somewhat like a rulebook for war. Treaties between nations involve all parties agreeing upon and adopting a set of rules that dictate interaction with one another ranging from battlefield rules to diplomatic protocol, including a framework for resolving contentious issues among states."

Abstract
An analysis of the International Monetary Fund's Role (an international organization of 183 member countries), including an analysis of its successes and failures.
From the Paper
"The International monetary fund (IMF) is an international organization of 183 member countries. It was established to promote international monetary cooperation, exchange stability, and orderly exchange arrangement; to foster economic growth and high levels of employment; and to provide temporary financial assistance to countries to help ease balance of payment adjustment (IMF) 2001. The success of this mission is partially achieved because of the political, social, cultural, economic infrastructure, and the continuous, fast change and spread of information technology. People in the developed and under-developed countries are exposed to an avalanche of information about the economic growth and prosperity of the developed nation. Poverty, Hunger, substandard living conditions, pollution, and epidemics of AIDS especially in Africa still go very much unnoticed. The recent protest in Washington DC as well as in Seattle and Europe against the World Trade Organization (WTO) testify to the resentment of many against the fund policy and ok the need for change."
