Abstract
This paper examines the "Monroe Doctrine" and the principles that were established by this statement of policy. The paper explores the original intents of ?The Monroe Doctrine? and to what extent adherence is given to the Doctrine in the present and what implications that adherence has in regards to future foreign relations.
From the Paper
"South America and the United States, having very little in common in aspects of government, religion, or race did little trading or traveling between during the time of the 18th Century. This period was witness to war in South America between Napoleonic forces, King Ferdinand and revolutionaries within the South American countries. Spain and France were speaking of joining together in a war on the new Latin American republics that were Chile, Peru, Argentina, Colombia and Mexico. This prompted Britain to request that the U.S. join with them against Spain and France."

American Foreign Policy, 2008.
This paper explores the U.S. presidential foreign policy doctrine as based on the pursuit of world power.

Abstract
The paper looks at the origins of the President's foreign policy powers as enumerated under the Constitution and examines the foreign policy acts of Thomas Jefferson. The paper then focuses on the Monroe Doctrine, reviews the salient features of U.S. foreign policy throughout the nineteenth century, considers the foreign policy doctrines of both Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt, as well as Woodrow Wilson and ends by looking at the modern-day, post-world war II presidencies of Truman, Nixon, Reagan and George W. Bush. The paper argues that the foreign policy doctrines of U.S. presidents - whether in the nineteenth century or the twenty-first - have fundamentally revolved around the projection, expansion and consolidation of American power beyond its borders.
From the Paper
"In the words of Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., the oldest doctrine and/or tradition in American foreign policy was - and is - the doctrine of unilateralism. Specifically, American leaders have always been reluctant to engage in foreign policy alignments - an attitude neatly encapsulated in the inaugural addresses of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson (Schlesinger 3-4). According to the historian Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., even the Monroe Doctrine, perhaps the first "great" presidential doctrine vis-a-vis foreign affairs, was prompted by a desire to not only seal off South America from European control, but to remind Europeans that America had no desire to involve itself in European matters and would not do so as long as "hemispheric affairs" in the Americas were not meddled in by the European powers (5). In effect, the Monroe Doctrine was really about keeping the diplomatic intrigues and political machinations of Europe firmly located in Europe and/or in remote parts of the world of no (direct) interest to America."

Abstract
This research paper discusses whether the Monroe Doctrine formed part of a coherent and consistent American foreign policy during the period 1776 to 1830. The Monroe Doctrine was issued in reaction to a specific set of circumstances related to American perceptions of threatened intervention by European powers in North and South America. It, nevertheless, reaffirmed and was consistent with mainstream themes of American foreign policy since the American Revolution, namely, the avoidance of entanglement of the United States in the affairs of the rest of the world, except as required for the protection of its commercial interests and its own defense against attack. It reflected American commitment to the ideals of the Revolution

Abstract
In this paper, a history of the reasons and need for the Monroe Doctrine are thoroughly examined. The Doctrine was a powerful statement but the U.S. had very little power of enforcement. Reasons behind this are discussed. This paper also shows how the Monroe Doctrine appeared on the surface to be an American declaration of independence from a colony-hungry Europe but in fact the document had many weaknesses.
From the Paper
"By the early 1800s, America was becoming its own country and trying to separate itself from Europe. The United States wanted to prevent future colonization of the Americas by European countries and attempted to accomplish this by issuing the Monroe Doctrine. The Monroe Doctrine of 1823, designed to discourage European nations from colonization that would threaten America, was merely a declaration of America?s independence, not a demonstration of it."

Abstract
This paper discusses how South Africa is an influential country on the African continent. As a result, its relations with near-by neighbors and its friendliness with Washington will greatly impact American standing and policy goals across the wide expanse of Africa. With this in mind, the following paper explores how South African foreign policy impacts America vis-a-vis the war on terror. Specifically, the paper looks at the complications which have arisen from South Africa's recent embracing of rogue states like Libya and Cuba and the paper also examines how South Africa's interventionist behavior under the aegis of the African Union can be used to protect American interests abroad and American lives at home by combating terrorism "over there" before it comes "here".

This paper presents an overview of the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan, and how these have shaped American foreign policy for good and bad from the end of World War II to the present.

"The Truman Doctrine was the impetus for the change in United States foreign policy, from isolationist to internationalists; thus we were drawn into two wars of containment and into world affairs. The Truman Doctrine led to a major change in U.S. foreign policy from its inception - aid to Turkey and Greece - to its indirect influence in Korea and Vietnam."

Abstract
This paper shows that the Monroe Doctrine established and stabilized American foreign policy. It explains that, by using the treaty signed by President Clayton as an example, it was rejected by the rest of America due to the absolute disregard for the principles of the Monroe Doctrine.
From the Paper
"?The Monroe Doctrine? had been the dominating principle held in U.S. Foreign Relations from the time of the enunciation by President Monroe. In 1850 a treaty agreeing that the U.S. or Great Britain neither one would neither one occupy or fortify any part of Central America. Inclusive in this treaty were that neither one should exercise any dominion over, use political influence in or attempt to obtain rights or advantages in the area of canal navigation."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In its purest form, the doctrine of forum non conveniens permits a court to deny jurisdiction of a matter where principles of justice and convenience favor dismissal. This paper discusses the background and history of the common-law doctrine of forum non conveniens, how the doctrine found its way into federal law, and how it eventually came to be used as a bar to lawsuits by foreign plaintiffs in the United States. The paper then discusses some of the arguments advanced by opponents of forum non conveniens, and the suggestions they have made to correct the perceived inequities of the doctrine. Finally, the paper identifies some important issues that remain undecided under the modern doctrine.
Paper Outline:
Introduction
History and Background of the Foreign Non Conveniens Doctrine
History of the Doctrine of Forum Non Conveniens
Private and Public Interest Factors Developed In Gulf Oil Corp. v. Gilbert
Forum Non Conveniens Almost Goes Extinct
The Modern "International" Doctrine of Foreign Non Conveniens
Forum Non Conveniens Re-Emerges and Goes International
Change of Law Loses Importance
The Two-Part Forum Non Conveniens Test
Application of the Modern Forum Non Conveniens Doctrine
Problems with the "New" Application of the Forum Non Conveniens Doctrine
Alternatives to the Forum Non Conveniens Doctrine
Other Issues Identified by Federal Courts
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Probably the best and most realistic way to fix the perceived inequity of the forum non conveniens doctrine is for the United States Supreme Court to provide federal courts with a little more guidance on the rule, and to relax the harsh effects that it has been found to have. Although the Piper court claimed that part of the value of the doctrine was its flexibility, the current standards are a little too flexible, and allow courts to dismiss cases brought by foreign plaintiffs too easily. American courts should take responsibility for enforcing justice where justice is due, instead of continuously worrying about how many cases are on the docket."

The Bush Doctrine, 2005.
This paper examines the U.S. foreign policies of 'containment' and the 'Bush Doctrine'.

Abstract
This paper explains that 'Bush Doctrine', implemented in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, has given a decisive new direction to the U.S. foreign policy, which was previously based on the principles of containment and deterrence. The author points out that this new foreign policy principles of pre-emption and unilateralism immediately were put to test by the U.S. administration by its war with Iraq. The paper relates that the results of this change in policy have been mixed and it is still too early to tell whether the Bush Doctrine would prove to be a long-term, lasting and successful change in U.S. foreign policy or the country would have to revert back to the time-tested and less controversial principles of containment, deterrence and multilateralism.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The doctrine of preemptive war invites abuse because it offers no criteria by which to judge whether a threat justifies a preemptive strike. The U.S. invasion of Iraq is an appropriate example of such a 'preemptive' war in which there was arguably no imminent threat of an attack except in the sole judgment of the Bush administration. It also sets a dangerous precedent for others to follow in order to settle their regional differences. There are a number of current political disputes around the world in which the stronger adversary could invoke the 'preemptive' doctrine to attack its weaker neighbor. For example, China could attack Taiwan over the question of Taiwan's independence; India could attack Pakistan over the Kashmir dispute, and Russia is already threatening to attack Georgia over the alleged cross-border terrorist activities of Chechen guerillas."

Abstract
The writer of this paper begins with a clear and concise biography of James Monroe from his birth in 1758 and up until his becoming a member of the Confederation Congress in 1783. This paper details Monroe's full and diverse political career including his term in the senate, three terms as governor of Virginia as well as his being appointed as Minister to France by President Washington. This paper discusses Monroe's political leanings as an anti-Federalist and a supporter of the French cause. The writer contends and explains how Monroe's anti-Federalist beliefs won him the presidency as well as the support of out-going President Madison. This paper delves into Monroe's presidency which at first was termed the 'era of good feeling' due to Monroe's political talent and skills. This paper explores the general atmosphere in America during Monroe's term in which the economy was suffering and the issue of slavery had not yet been resolved. This paper examines the events that led to the Civil War during Monroe's presidency. The writer also discusses Monroe's talent for building solid relationships with foreign countries, particularly with Great Britain.

Bibliography
From the Paper
"Monroe's presidency was termed as an "era of good feeling" because of political talent and skills. However, everything started to turn the opposite in the following years of his term. Economic depression occurred and Monroe was unable to provide strong action to resolve his country's economic problems. Civil War also soon followed. This was undoubtedly worsened by Monroe's signing of the Missouri Compromise which states that the Missouri is a slave state and Maine as a free one. Although Monroe was known to be an advocate of the bill of rights, he did not take a stand to defend Missouri. This is one of the weaknesses that the people saw in him as a President. Despite of the weaknesses that Monroe had shown in alleviating the economy of his country, as well as in defending the rights of the people of Missouri, he became successful in allowing good US relationship with foreign countries."

Abstract
This paper discusses the doctrine of constructive resignation in the context of employment law or employment relationship. In particular, it attempts to address whether this doctrine should be introduced or sustained in employment law in Malawi. The paper proceeds on the premise that in Malawian employment law - statutory or case law- the doctrine of constructive resignation is not provided for. It is, however, recognized and applied in other jurisdictions namely, Unites States, Canada, United Kingdom and Philippines. This paper concludes with the recommendation that the doctrine be introduced in Malawi, although with necessary modifications to suit the employment situation and the right to fair labour practices.

From the Paper
"Of late, it has been in issue whether one can or has constructively resigned10. This is in issue in Malawi and other jurisdictions. The doctrine of constructive resignation is to the effect that if the conduct of the employee amounts to a repudiation or a fundamental breach of the contract of employment the said conduct automatically terminates the contract, in which case it is the employee rather than the employer who will be deemed to have terminated it. The employer is entitled to dismiss him even without hearing him. He may as well say: "he sacked himself"11. In Malawi there is no statutory doctrine of constructive resignation, and apparently there is currently no case which has said the doctrine is applicable in our employment law."

Abstract
This paper is a biography of President James Monroe, noting his achievement and his lasting influence in American life. The paper focuses specifically on the important statement in the Monroe Doctrine, asserting the interests of the United States and warning European powers to keep away. He was also President when various battles began over the continuation of slavery, leading at the time to a compromise that left slavery to the South and eliminated it from the North.
From the Paper
"James Monroe was the fifth President of the United States, serving two terms from 1817 to 1825. His importance in American history centers largely on his formulation of what would become known as the Monroe Doctrine asserting the interests of the United States in matters taking place in this hemisphere and warning European powers to keep away. He was also President when various battles began over the continuation of slavery, leading at the time to a compromise that left slavery to the South and eliminated it from the North. Monroe was born on April 28, 1758 in Westmoreland County, Virginia. He would graduate from William and Mary, and he served in the army during the first years of the Revolution and was wounded at Trenton. After the revolution, he entered Virginia politics and later national politics under the sponsorship of Thomas Jefferson. In 1786, he married Elizabeth Kortright ("James Monroe" para. 1)."

Nursing Implications, 2007.
A discussion on whether or not the implications of nursing pediatric patients recovering from transplant therapy differ from the implications of nursing adult and/or geriatric patients.
2,324 words (approx. 9.3 pages), 10 sources, APA, $ 71.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores whether or not the nursing implications change with regards to providing care to adult versus child transplant recipients. The paper looks at some of the obvious differences between children and adults but also takes time to explore the many similarities between patients of all ages. It also delves into the philosophical, possibly even moral, reservations some nursing professionals might have with treating certain patients and considers what the appropriate response should be. The paper also looks at the other "actors" - family members, even school officials - for whom the professional nurse must have proper deference and briefly considers the implications that these relationships will have upon the patients' long-term well-being.
From the Paper
"Transplant therapy for children versus transplant therapy for adults - especially older adults - is similar in the sense that both instances demand nursing professionals respect the pain and fearfulness of the subject's family. However, one can argue that any position which cleaves to the view that the two should not be treated differently is nonetheless a rather naive one. For one thing, elderly patients are not attending (or about to attend) school as are children. Because of this fact, Brosig (2006) insists that transplant teams should be in contact with school personnel so as to "optimize outcomes" via coming up with an individualized approach to facilitating the child's scholastic efforts."

The Bush Doctrine and Soft Power, 2005.
Describes the essence of the Bush Doctrine and its incompatibility with soft power, as well as the main components of soft power and its applications in U.S. foreign policy.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Soft power, along with military might, has always been an important part of American foreign policy. One may even argue that, at times, it has been the dominant tool of policymakers, and they have gained more by using it than by using crude force. The paper describes soft power as the ability to get what you want through attraction rather than coercion or payments. It arises from the attractiveness of a country's culture, political ideas and policies. This paper provides an overview of the policy of soft power and how it is incompatible with President George W. Bush's present foreign policy.
From the Paper
"So high is the disdain toward American foreign policy, that in Germany for example, one- third of the people under 30 believe that the US government staged the attacks. The transition from "we are all Americans" to paranoid views like that can only be explained with the failed foreign policy of the Bush cabinet, its unilateral exercise of military power and its inability to use the great soft power the United States possesses."
