Abstract
The appropriate role of government in the economy is an issue that has been long debated. Several hundred years into the debate, no solid answer exists. Throughout the 20th century alone, several different forms of governance have been attempted, and while some have been more successful than others, the prevailing mixed economy (limited laissez faire) used in most developed countries seems to offer a reasonably decent solution. The key to this form of economy, it seems, is flexibility; with the government more active at some times than others. Good leaders know where the strengths of capitalism lay and what its limitations are. The proper role of government, in this broad sense, is to maximize the benefits of capitalism by staying out of the economy, but exerting some influence in areas where capitalism is deficient.

Abstract
One of the most important aspects of the structure of the US government is there is no single authority controlling or commanding the economy. This structural decision allowed for the creation of the free-market system in its current incarnation. No single person or institution can have an over-riding effect on the performance of the economy as a whole. However, there are a number individuals who can, to a greater or lesser degree, have an effect on the economy. This brief paper will examine the following four such figures: (1) the president, (2) the Federal Reserve Chairman, (3) SEC Commissioner, and (4) the attorney general.

Abstract
This paper explains Queen Elizabeth's role in the economic recovery of England after a period of economic crisis, describes her leadership skills and knowledge of government, and looks at how this knowledge and talent helped her position England for a period of expansion and growth.
From the Paper
"The Elizabethan government faced several challenges because of population growth. The number of the poor grew simply because people were living longer and infant mortality rates dropped. This caused the standard of living to drop and vagrancy became a problem in all areas of life. The most drastic economic change that effected the sixteenth century was a noticeable rise in prices. As a result of this, wealth was limited to the very few and those who were wealth became even wealthier. Rising prices caused inflation. The price of grain is suspected to have risen 50 to 100 percent during this time. (Noble 642) City governments were effected by the shift in wealth. Town councils were dictated by generations of affluent families. This connection caused many towns to become tied to noble interests and resulted in the demise of independent towns acting as corporate bodies."

Abstract
This essay examines to what extent government should play a role in controlling a country's economy. The paper shows how the old discredited communist command economy model is still practiced in modest form in specific markets in the short-term by developing countries, such as Qatar, to ensure rapid growth and diversification in otherwise free-market-oriented national economies.
From the Paper
"Even "Laissez-Faire" Capitalism, the purest form of a "free" market economy, could not function without at least a modicum of governmental control. For contracts have to be enforceable to ensure that goods and services paid for are delivered. Money, what's more, has to be printed and the amount in circulation carefully controlled, as it is the medium of exchange that underpins all economic activity in industrial and post-industrial societies. Governments must also regulate financial markets to ensure that investors aren't bilked by fraudulent or misleading stock-offerings. In every other respect, however, the Capitalist credo is that governments should adopt a "hands-off' approach to the day-to-day workings of markets. For left unfettered, they naturally achieve an equilibrium between buyers and sellers that guarantees the most efficient and product use of a country's resources. (Waud 1989)"

From the Paper
"Innovation is the single critical factor in economic growth and the source of US economic leadership as well as the foundation of its competitiveness in the global economy (Gates 2007).
If it must remain competitive, it must take two critical steps in creating and retaining a workforce of the world's brightest minds. One is to demand strong schools for Americans entering the workforce in the fields of math, science and problem-solving skills. The second is to make it easier for foreign-born scientists and engineers to work for US companies. Businesses must advocate for strong educational policies in science and mathematics for education relevant to the needs of business. Meanwhile, government should work with educators to reform schools and improve educational excellence (Gates)."

Abstract
This paper briefly considers the "strong" versus the "weak" state-centered approaches and describes the various institutional arrangements which China instituted for allocating foreign direct investment (FDI). The paper looks at the evolution of China's regional development policy between the late 1970s and the present time. The paper then attempts to correlate the Chinese government's regional policy preferences to the allocation of FDI among the provinces. The paper concludes that the central government has only a limited capacity to compel private groups and local governments to adhere to policies it believes are in the national interest.
Outline:
The State Centered Approaches
Strong and Weak Versions
China: A Weak State-Centered Economy
China and FDI: The Initial Success
The Inability to Control Special Interests
The Lack of Social Embeddedness
The Failure of Redirection of FDI in China
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Does a modern government have the power to direct foreign capital investments, such as foreign direct investment (FDI), to particular regions which the government wishes to see developed? To ask this question is to ask if the politics of economic development in a given country is or is not "state-centered." To say that a nation can impose a state-centered approach to issues of economic development is to say that the government can assert authority over both the population it governs and also over actions that take place within its territory. In the modern world, foreign capital investment in developing countries has raised a serious challenge to the assumption that states do control what goes on within their territory."

Abstract
This paper examines the effects on specific stock exchanges, their initial fall and their subsequent rise by considering basic economic background. The author indicates that understanding the effects of terrorism on the economy is complicated due to at least three reasons: The need to look at several different sectors of the economy; different economic models that weigh elements of society differently and the different ways conservative and progressive economists look at a problem.
From the paper:
"We may feel that there is something inappropriate in talking about economics in conjunction with the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, believing that instead of thinking of something that is in the end as unimportant as money we should be thinking about the larger issues of life and death and the purpose of human life."

From the Paper
"For some analysts, the term, "New Economy," refers to the plethora of "dot com" companies which have come into existence in just the past few years, created new millionaires from young entrepreneurs, and changed retailing as consumers comparison shop and browse from their homes and offices 24 hours a day, seven days a week. However, the ramifications of the New Economy move far beyond just using the Internet to reach catalog customers. Wilfred Corrigan, an executive in the semiconductor industry, notes that a primary difference between the Old Economy and the New Economy is the primary commodity which powers the two."

From the Paper
"During the late 1990s, the term, "New Economy," began appearing in articles and news reports as analysts sought to describe transactions that were largely Internet-based, or at least transactions which did not require consumers entering a brick and mortar store. Articles were written about the young entrepreneurs who were rewriting business rules, about companies where Casual Friday evolved into Casual Everyday, and how the New Economy would radically change the entire business landscape. As 2000 draws to a close, however, it is becoming obvious that the Old Economy is not going to go away entirely. Many of the touted "dot com" companies have gone bankrupt as they were unable to produce that most traditional product of the Old Economy: profit. New Economy companies are finding that they must integrate Old Economy ..."

Abstract
This paper presents two essays on government regulation. The first essay attempts to show how government regulations protect consumers and businesses and help maintain a stable economy. The paper discusses the merits of regulations about hazardous waste, vehicle lemon laws and monopoly and anti-trust laws. The second essay maintains that government regulations harm the economy by hurting businesses. This view portrays how government regulations are so restrictive that they make it impossible for businesses to operate, which negatively affects both consumers and the economy.
From the Paper
"Since America was in its infancy, the public has looked to federal and state government agencies to protect it from harm. Whether it was the threat of international terrorism or scams from international gold diggers, society has turned to its government and asked it to regulate such activities to protect American residents. While the public recognizes and appreciates such efforts, it quickly changes its tune when it comes to government regulations with regard to business."

Abstract
This paper examines the effects of terrorism on the economy. It explains that there are three reasons that make this task difficult: Several different sectors of the economy must be looked at, different economic models weigh different elements of society differently and economists have different views on what should be done to alleviate the problem.
From the paper:
"This paper looks at the effects of the terrorist attacks on some of the world?s stock markets, which plunged in the first weeks after markets were reopened but have since regained most of their pre-Sept. 11 value. The lower levels of these stock markets are felt by some to reflect the lingering effects of the attacks; it is also possible that the lowered values of stock reflected on exchanges throughout the world are simply reflections of the current still-mild but prolonged recession. It is, of course, probably both: The terrorist attacks pushed teetering world economies down the slope of recession as they damaged consumer confidence sufficiently to cause a contraction in spending that has already been occurring due primarily) to rising unemployment."

Abstract
This paper considers the responsibility of government in terms of unemployment, noting that job creation is one of the ways people judge the success or failure of a government. The paper suggests that as the economy is a government responsibility and employment figures indicate the health or lack of health of the economy, that the government has the responsibility of providing for the welfare of the people, which is tied to the health of the economy.
From the Paper
"The government of any country has a number of responsibilities, some set forth in a constitution or other written form, some only implied. The issue of unemployment is seen as a government responsibility, with job creation being one of the ways people judge the success or failure of a government. Certainly, the economy is a government responsibility, and employment figures indicate the health or lack of health of the economy. Government has the responsibility of providing for the welfare of the people, which is tied to the health of the economy. The way a government meets this responsibility can vary widely, depending on the state of the economy, the philosophy of government that prevails, the degree of need, and other matters. Government should provide unemployment benefits to those who are looking for work but cannot find it in order to keep the people housed and fed while the economy develops."

The plan of the research will be to set forth the context in which the dispute arose in 1994, including its major political and economic factors, and then to discuss how the set of issues involved in the dispute were shaped toward resolution.
With global business activity virtually mandated in the modern world on account of the revolution in telecommunications and transportation, issues of foreign trade and international law and the implied clash of cultures accompanying them, need to be understood: "Emphasis is placed on the business enterprise as it .."
