Abstract
This paper asks and discusses three questions. The first question that is discussed is security and threats to it - both internal and external. The second question deals with the differences between "old wars" and "new wars" and how they are fought differently. The third question analyzes foreign and security politics of the United States and how they have undergone a variety of changes since the end of World War II in 1945.

From the Paper
"Using advances in weaponry to fight modern wars (and with advanced weaponry and its use being the cause of modern wars), and looking at modern wars in this light, it does not appear that there have been many changes in the reasons for war throughout the course of human history. In this light, wars are still fought over perceived threats, the desire for dominion, and as pre-emptive strikes against potential enemies. Nations, not people, are still the actors in these wars. The modern world is a little more complex than this, however. Despite the fact that human beings have changed very little from ancient times, the issues we are dealing with have changed, and this requires a more sophisticated and nuanced view of the causes and proper handling of modern warfare than Hirst has to offer."

Abstract
This paper argues that the nature of the Arab-Israeli conflict, in itself, is not irresolvable. International law clearly provides the means for settling the issue; Israel and Palestine should both recognize the other's right to existence and security, and pre-1967 borders, with no exceptions, should be respected. The paper argues that were we living in an international community in which international relations were determined by the just application of the law, the conflict may have been resolved. However, since we are living in an international community in which international relations are determined by force and power, the conflict is constantly becoming more and more critical because one side to the conflict has been given the power to disregard the law, while the other has been denied the protection of the law. The paper shows that the Arab-Israeli conflict is not, therefore, examined in this research in order to argue a solution, but as a means of exposing, in the author's opinion, the true face of international relations as governed by the law of force and power.
From the Paper
"At the very start of the occupation, that is in 1967, Israel admitted that it was an "occupying force." A few years later, Israel insisted that it had to continue its occupation of Arab Palestinian lands until a final peace treaty was signed. Meanwhile, Israel began to establish Jewish settlements, or what can be defined as small Jewish villages, on the Arab lands. To justify doing so, contrary to international law which prohibited an occupier from establishing settlements on occupied territories, Israel stated that these territories were "of strategic importance to its defense," and therefore, "land would be expropriated for settlements that would serve Israeli security interests." At this point, Israel stated that the status of these occupied lands would be negotiated over in the final peace settlement."

Abstract
This paper discusses information systems (IS) security and focuses on three areas relating to IS security. These three sections cover the possible impact a major information security breach has on an organisation, the security frameworks an organisation should adopt to protect and information system and describe the OCTAVE risk based strategic assessment and planning technique specifically designed for information systems security.

Bibliography
From the Paper
"Information systems (IS) security is challenging most organisations in the world today. As organisations recognise the importance of information to compete and be successful in business, an increase in security awareness to protect this information has also followed. As a greater reliance has been placed of information systems by organisations, the need to protect IS systems have never been so relevant as they are today. Highly publicised security breaches have made organisations realise how this can affect business, particularly when it relates to confidential, financial and personal information."

Abstract
This paper demonstrates that the various programs administered by the Social Security Administration have played a vital role in helping the nation's economic well-being since their inception in 1935. The author points out that the fiscal problems being experienced by the Social Security Administration have become more serious because of a growing demand for benefits by a substantially larger proportion of Social Security recipients, who have paid taxes for this compensation, compared to the proportion of the economically active population. The paper stresses that these trends will be exacerbated as the existing "baby boomer" segment of the population begins retiring in the next few years. Many illustrations and tables.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In 1934, President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed a committee to provide recommendations on an old-age pension systems and in 1935, Congress passed the Social Security Act that provided old-age benefits to be financed by a payroll tax on employers and employees (employees of railroads were already covered separately under the Railroad Retirement Act of 1934). Since that time, the Social Security Act has been periodically amended, expanding the types of coverage, bringing increasing numbers of workers into the system, and adjusting both taxes and benefits in an attempt to maintain pace with inflation rates. Today, Social Security policy directly affects more than 96 percent of the U.S. work force and their employers every pay period and more than twice as many workers are covered by Social Security as the number of individuals in the United States who own shares in mutual funds."

Abstract
This paper examines how, since the 9/11 incidents, information systems security has been a primary concern by all organizations as a result of the consequences that resulted in the loss of data and information in the ensuing attacks. It discusses the information systems security strategies of two federal agencies: the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It looks at how these two distinct agencies are opposites in term of their mandates; one is the premier law enforcement and security agency of the nation that already has a hard core security function as its mission while the other one sets the standards in various aspects of technology and business processes.
From the Paper
"The FBI is the premier federal law enforcement and criminal investigative body of the United States. It is under the Department of Justice (DOJ) and has as its mission: "To protect and defend the United States against terrorist and foreign intelligence threats, to uphold and enforce the criminal laws of the United States, and to provide leadership and criminal justice services to federal, state, municipal, and international agencies and partners." Its current director, Robert S. Mueller III, literally went through a "baptism of fire" because of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He was recently sworn in a week before the attacks (September 4, 2001) thus not having the luxury of a "honeymoon period" in the agency. In fiscal year 2006, the total budget of the FBI was approximately $5.7 billion, including $495 million in program increases to enhance counterterrorism, counterintelligence, cyber crime, information technology, security, forensics, training, and criminal programs ."

Abstract
The paper discusses the conflict that has been brewing between the United States and Iran, which has revolved ostensibly around Iran's possible violations of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The paper shows that the conflict between Iran and the U.S. has been evident in the international policies of both nations. Iran has engaged in a series of political and economic actions that are directed squarely at undermining the U.S.'s international authority. The U.S., in turn, has tried to rally international support, largely through the United Nations Security Council, to control Iran's actions.

Abstract
This paper relates that, despite the variety of social security and welfare programs were introduced to support the poorer and unemployed population, poverty persisted in the affluent society of the U.S. The author points out that poverty in America has a diverse view from the rest of the world as indicated by statistics of U.S. Department of Commerce (2001), which indicated that a typical American defined as poor by the government has a car, air conditioning, a refrigerator, a stove, a clothes washer and dryer and a microwave, far from the popular images of dire poverty conveyed by the press, liberal activists and politicians. The paper concludes that the Social Security is the U.S. government's greatest success story; by creating more jobs, improving educational facilities, eliminating corruption and by making optimum utilization of social security programs, the U.S. can virtually eliminate remaining poverty from the American society.

Table 1: Ownership of Property and Consumer Goods among Poor Family-Units
From the Paper
"The NPR, the Kaiser Family Foundation, and Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government conducted a joint survey, which revealed that Americans aren't thinking a lot about the poor these days. However, when they are asked about it directly, most Americans think that poverty is still a problem in this country, even in these generally prosperous times. In fact, a majority of Americans think poverty is not just a problem but a big problem. But they define it in a different way, 64% Americans say that a family of f our with an income of $20,000 is poor, whereas 42% say that a family of four earning $25,000 is poor. It shows great political divisions in the country on the subject of poverty."

Abstract
This paper proposes a study into security adoption in business management and communications systems protocol. The paper presents the proposal for chapter one of the study. It describes the barriers that need to be overcome and studied in order to implement security systems that meet the security risks of the company, are sufficient to meet all feasible future risks, and are adoptable by the majority of users under normal operational conditions.

Justification for the Study
From the Paper
"This proposed study meets the criteria needed for completion of a MBA; the proposed study also is unique in that it assesses two areas of security and identifies how flaws occur and how these can be remedied. The two areas of security are those of modifications of existing technologies or new technologies altogether, and the relationships that the human users form with these technologies. The final document will help shed light on how and why problems continue to occur even when management of technologies has been integrated into the likely outcome of a change within security systems."

Abstract
In this report, the writer studies the global affects of separatism and their impact on the world today. The writer notes that the issue of separatism is one that confronts many different and diverse countries around the world today. The writer discusses that the world today is faced with many conflicts regarding separatism, which lead to often dangerous and trying times for the countries having to deal with the separatist movements. The writer examines the Quebec separatist movement in Canada, the Chechen movement within Russia and the separatist region of Kosovo within the country of Serbia. The writer maintains that in all of these cases, it becomes apparent that the countries involved in these movements are not strangers to danger and hardship in their experiences with separatism. Colored photos are included with the paper.

From the Paper
"An example of a country upon whose entire history is derived from the act of separation lies just south of Canada in the U.S.A. It was in their separation from the British Empire in 1776 that a new country was born. From this the United States of America began its climb to becoming the most industrialized and powerful nation in the world. As well as being the starting point for the United States, the separatist idea continued to face the country throughout its history. This is proven when looking at the American Civil War. It was the separatist south that threatened the existence of United States, of which had to be overcome to recreate the country in 1865.
"It is in examples like this that show us that the separatist idea is one that affects humanity globally. If one were to think about all the countries in the world today that have separated from another at one point in their existence, the list would number at least 20. It has and continues to shape the world we inhabit today, affecting people in the developing world, and those living in developed nations. "

"International Conflict", 2004.
An analysis of James Morrow's article, "International Conflict: Assessing the Democratic Peace and Offense-Defense Theory."
1,081 words (approx. 4.3 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 37.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper provides a critical review of Morrow's article. It explains how he begins the article with a theoretical overview of the potential reasons states enter into war and ends with several specific examples, including the nations involved in World War II. It discusses how Morrow is particularly interested in why democratic states, traditionally states that give, at least, lip service to the value of pacific settlements, enter into a war.
From the Paper
"One of the key reasons they do so, he states, is uncertainty. ?The other side,? he suggests in a hypothetical scenario, might like to accept a potential settlement about a disputed territory rather than enter into a conflict. ?However, the other side?s minimal acceptable deal depends on the value it places on fighting a war; a value that combines how important the stakes are to it, its judgment about its chances on the battlefield, and how it assesses the likely costs of a war. All of these are known only to that state; they are, in the language of game theory, its private information. The state making the demand cannot know any of these three, although it certainly has some beliefs about each. It cannot be certain what demand will extract the best possible settlement for itself, and asking for too much leads to war."

International Ethnic Conflict, 2002.
This paper discusses that the United States and the international community should refrain from intervention into ethnic conflicts within sovereign nations except in the cases of extreme violence.
1,275 words (approx. 5.1 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 43.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper defines international ethnic conflicts as disputes between communities within a sovereign nation that see themselves as having distinct rights over the power relationship between these communities, such as in Bosnia. The author believes that such ethnic conflicts should be monitored to identify a point at which it appears peace is deteriorating; and, at that time, substantial diplomatic effort should be expended to prevent further deterioration. The author concludes that only in cases of extreme violence should the United States and the international community rely on a military intervention to end the conflict.
From the Paper
"The ambivalence in the American public's reaction to the international community's recent military intervention in Bosnia reveals a general ambivalence toward the use of military force where no tangible strategic interests are at risk. However, Milosevic did offer a tangible target against which the military force could be directed. The international community was able therefore to generate support against a common, identifiable enemy. Unfortunately, as Richard Betts points out, intervention in a civil war usually becomes an issue only when the sides are closely enough matched that neither can defeat the other quickly. Thus, in many cases, the international community may be unable to identify an enemy against whom they can rally support or they may be forced to wait until the situation deteriorates until choosing the better side becomes only a matter of degree. Unfortunately, the latter can often be the case in ethnic conflicts."
