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."

Question 3
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."

From the Paper
"This paper explores the literature and arguments surrounding the U.S. led intervention into Iraq, with justifications offered for an international intervention into Darfur Sudan today. The question posed is whether the conditions in Iraq leading up to U.S. intervention are comparable to those in Darfur currently and therefore whether they require similar armed military intervention. The paper concludes that the situations are dissimilar and only the conditions in Darfur mandate and authorize intervention. To answer the question the paper looks at the ... "

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.

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."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Bosnia and the Kosovo conflicts marked the biggest outbreaks of violence in Europe after the end of the Second World War. The instable political environment in federal Yugoslavia after the fall of communism, brought about the emergence of salient ethnic issues, which led to the deaths of tens of thousands of people. The focus of this paper is the Kosovo conflict, the human rights violations that led to its escalation, and the international response that followed. Even though the situation in Serbia has changed and democratic parties are in power, the Kosovo question is still far from being resolved due to the mutual hatred of Serbs and Albanians. Moreover, the downturn of the Kosovo crisis gave credibility to the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) as a political player, which has further exacerbated the situation not only in Kosovo, but also in neighboring Montenegro and Macedonia."

International Conflict between Iran and the U.S, 2005.

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.

"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
»

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."

From the Paper
"In today's economy companies can no longer be satisfied with serving a single geographic market. This strategy is still effective for some businesses but many companies-including small and medium-sized organizations-have recognized the benefits of expanding their operations to the global market. With the advent of the Internet and the ability to transfer funds across borders seamlessly and with low transaction costs the move toward globalization is no longer limited to only large companies ..."

A Military Necessity: the Japanese American Internment, 2006.
An examination of the interment of Japanese Americans during World War II.

Abstract
This paper discusses how, due to military necessity, 120,000 Japanese Americans were unjustly interned in 1942, permanently scarring America, and creating a future precedence. The paper argues that this was an unjustified response to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
Surprisingly, the paper points out, many of the internees proved that they were able to make the best of a bad situation. Furthermore, despite the unfair treatment, a select few Japanese Americans were still willing to fight for their country and eventually became part of the most decorated unit in American history, the "Purple Heart Battalion". The paper concludes that this story proves that even in the face in adversity, people can do great things.

From the Paper
"Education was another serious concern among the camps. Schools had to be set up quickly, and materials were in short supply. Most schools opened around October, an unusual month compared to normal schools. In Wyoming, "A block of barracks was set aside for use as classrooms. Books did not arrive until December and then only in limited numbers. If a student had homework, he or she had to check out the textbook for the evening. Paper and pencils were also in short supply. The chalkboard was a piece of plywood painted black. Students sat on benches, and though some teachers had a table, others used boxes for desks. Students who sat in the front of the classroom near the potbellied stoves roasted, while those who sat in the back wore coats to keep from freezing. The open ceilings made for continuous distractions as the noise from one classroom invaded adjacent rooms." Other camps had it even worse though, holding classes in dinning halls, which proved to be both noisy and crowded. Teachers were also extremely hard to come by, but were appreciated when they did. Students were eager to learn and naturally cooperative. Later in the years, real schools began to appear complete with libraries, auditoriums, and even wood shops. To make things even better, "Graduates from the high schools in the relocation centers who qualified for colleges and universities, went to these schools in the mid-west and east coast states, usually on full scholarships. By the end of the war, many of these "students" were ready to graduate with college degrees and enter the job market at the same time the returning service men were just getting ready to enter college." So many people received college degrees that many camps were even able hold reunions for the students."

Conflict and Conflict Resolution, 2007.

Abstract
In this article the writer first discusses the term 'conflict' and looks at how it can be defined. The writer then describes that when an Islamic militant and terrorist took it upon himself to resolve a conflict as he saw it, he launched terror attacks on the people of the United States of America, and the result was large scale devastation and destruction and panic and adverse impacts on the economic and political and social system of the United States. Further, the writer studies the impact and attempts at resolution of the conflict. The writer concludes that perhaps, in the long run, Bush's ideals would create more conflict around the globe, than resolve them in any way. One can only wait and see what will happen eventually, and find out whether it is possible to resolve conflicts of high order with any amount of success.
From the Paper
"However, at the same time, it must be remembered that there were other losses that were not covered by private insurance, or were not qualified under the charitable contributions, or even by the emergency relief funds, and these were the really huge losses that occurred due to the September 11 terrorist attacks. Several different agencies undertook the study of the economic losses that were caused by the September 11 debacle, and according to the New York City Partnership, the attacks on the two World Trade Center Buildings must have cost the state, at the very least, $ 83 billion, as per the value in the year 2001, and this included the costs of total losses, that is, both the direct and the indirect costs. Out of this estimate, only about $ 67 billion of the losses would be completely covered by insurance and other contributions. In a more recent study, according to an Officer of the New York City Comptroller's Office, as of April 2002, the total costs of the clean up of the World Trade Center has been much quicker and also much less costly than the initial estimates had indicated."

Abstract
This paper is a detailed discussion of Islamic criminal law, its sources, its application, and its conflict with international law and human rights. The author examines both primary and secondary sources of Islamic law, and describes Hudud, Tazir and Qesas crime and punishment. The paper also focuses on the historical background of Muslim law.
From the paper:
?Islam means ?submission? or ?surrender? to the will of Allah. For the more than one billion Muslims of the world, this means submission to a comprehensive code of law governing every arena of life: social, political, economic, and religious. In Islam there is no separation of church and state, no distinction between religion and politics; Government, law, and religion are unified. Some would argue that Islamic law is not fully practiced in any part of the Islamic world. While this may be true, twenty-three nations have either declared Islam to be the state religion or declared the religious writings of Islam to be the principal source of law.?
