From the Paper
"The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), an alliance of the United States, Canada, and a number of West European states that came into being in the wake of the Second World War with its primary objective being to defend Western Europe from the perceived threat of the Soviet Union, is the most powerful - and arguably the most effective - military alliance in history. Dominated by the superpower of the United States, the NATO alliance "won" the Cold War to the extent that it has begun expanding by incorporating former adversary states from the Soviet-dominated and now defunct Warsaw Pact."

Abstract
The paper discusses the ways in which advances in navigation and technology coincided with the age of exploration and the politics of expansion, resulting in the North Atlantic slave trade. Includes a discussion of the triangular trade commerce cycle that developed between Europe, the North American colonies, and West Africa, and the deplorable conditions that existed on the ships.
From the Paper
"The seeds of the North American slave trade were planted when technology, politics, and the necessity of economic expansion combined to see the birth of the age of exploration in the 15th century. Advances in navigation and sailing gave real promise to the desires of explorers who sought unchartered routes to riches for their nations, and their rulers funded their excursions as a way to increase commerce and their land holdings. However, the slave-trading that was crucial to the success of these endeavors was eventually abolished as a result of the success it spurred."

Cod Populations in the North Atlantic, 2005.
An analysis of and policy recommendations for the declining cod populations in the North Atlantic
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 3 sources, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how declining fish populations have led many environmentalists to conclude that cod populations, specifically in the North Atlantic, are being over fished. It looks at how they call for stricter regulation of the fishing industry throughout the region, with regard to time spent at sea, mesh sizes on nets, and other aspects of the industry.
From the Paper
"Cod has been a staple in the West for centuries, if not longer (Bhargava par. 4). It is, quite simply, one of the primary sources of fish protein that Western industrial society currently enjoys. However, that supply has been threatened in recent decades. Declining fish populations have led many environmentalists to conclude that cod populations, specifically in the North Atlantic, are being over fished. They call for stricter regulation of the fishing industry throughout the region, with regard to time spent at sea, mesh sizes on nets, and other aspects of the industry. However, the fish industry opposes most of these measures. Additionally, demand has certainly not fallen for cod in Western markets. "

Abstract
This writer of this paper details the events that led to the creation of NAFTA, NATO and the UN as well as their original goals of preventing war and improving economic issues of trade while helping the world function as a globalized and interrelated unit. The writer contends and explains why these organizations currently function as merely a personification of the very issues that existed before their introduction. This paper details the history of the UN, NATO and NAFTA. NATO was established after WWII, thanks to various European nations and the U.S. The intention of NATO was to band together as a military alliance against the threat of the Soviet Union. This paper looks at NATO since the fall of the Soviet Union, in which many contend the organization has been taken over by U.S. interests. This paper also discusses the world's perception of NAFTA, which is an economically driven alliance between north American nations, with the advantage going to the wealthiest and most powerful member nations. The writer delves into the workings of the UN which has repeatedly been stymied in its efforts to accomplish important international tasks, which are detailed in this paper. This paper also discusses the role of the U.S. as the principle power in all three organizations.
From the Paper
"So, too, many consider NAFTA, an economically driven alliance between North American Nations (principally Canada, the United States, and Mexico) to be equally unbalanced, with the advantage going to the wealthiest and most powerful member nations. In this case, many assert that, although the concept of "free trade" between the North American nations is a good one, in practice the natural imbalance of the alliance proves problematic. For example, many within Mexico complain that the agenda of the United States, and secondarily, Canada overshadows any legitimate concerns that Mexico may have."

NATO, 1991.
This paper discussion of the origins and evolution of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), describes NATO as linchpin in US-European defense structure since 1949 and analyzes individual members, their goals and goals of the organization.

From the Paper
"The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has been a linchpin in the U.S.-European defense structure since its founding in 1949. The end of the Cold War has been hailed as a major shift in world political power and as evidence of a less dangerous international climate, and this has also called into question the need for the continuation of NATO, among other defense alliances. The founding of NATO was a major post-war accomplishment for the mutual defense of Europe and the North Atlantic region. Throughout its history, NATO has been almost as much a source of internal tension among members as it has been an effective defense tool. Yet, NATO is seen as perhaps the most successful defensive alliance in history and remains today the only truly functioning ... "

NATO Expansion and Peace, 2006.

Abstract
This paper examines how the role of NATO has changed since the end of the Cold War. The paper tells us that, with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, one might have expected that NATO would quietly fade into the background of world affairs, joining the legion of other defunct political institutions. However, this was not how the 1990s played out. Instead, NATO was expanded and given new life through new expansionist policies meant to secure peace and stability throughout non-NATO Europe. The paper goes on to suggest that this transformation, however, has not secured peace but instead serves only to extend and reinforce Western, particularly U.S., interests in Central and Eastern Europe.
From the Paper
"The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has survived an unimaginable turn of events, from an institutional standpoint. NATO was designed to give the United States and Western Europe a collective defensive front against Soviet aggression, particularly in Eastern and Central Europe. NATO was a foil to the Soviet Warsaw Pact and existed as such predominantly throughout the Cold War. Its raison d'etre was to provide mutual defense for its member nations. "

Charles De Gaulle and French Conflicts with NATO, 2003.
This paper explores Charles De Gaulle and his widely criticized view that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was simply a tool for Americanization.

Abstract
The paper is divided up into three sections. The first section is a brief history of the events that led up to De Gaulle's decision to withdraw France from NATO. His opinions are given, as well as the pros and cons of having a European power leave NATO at the height of the Cold War. This section, as well as the entire paper, is written from the perspective that De Gaulle felt that the eventual Americanization of world affairs would only lead to disaster. The second section is an analysis of what happened to France politically after De Gaulle left NATO. Specific events, such as France becoming more autonomous in European affairs, are given, and how France began to rebuild the pride it had lost after World War II is discussed. Finally, the last section deals with De Gaulle as a politician. His strengths of verbal persuasion and commitment to returning France to a world power status are discussed, as is how he felt that NATO was standing in the way of French progress.
From the Paper
"After World War II, the countries of Europe were ravaged by a war that caused millions of causalities and billions of dollars worth of damage to farms and businesses. France had suffered greatly due to the occupation of Nazi Germany, but upon the liberation of the country by The Allies and the appointment of the popular French resistance hero General Charles De Gaulle as head of the provisional government in 1945, a new Europe was looking to be born in the wake of the deadliest war in human history. Europe would be greatly influenced in the coming decades by the spread of communism and by both America?s and The Soviet Union?s foreign policies, but in the midst of this struggle for control over Europe, France would remain steadfast in it?s political and social independence as Charles De Gaulle was passionate about making France a power in the world once more. This desire to return France to her past glory and De Gaulle?s aspiration to remove American, British and Soviet influence from France?s own foreign policy decisions were prime reasons for De Gaulle?s displeasure with the NATO Alliance and which would eventually cause De Gaulle to remove and distance France from the complexity of entangling alliances after World War II. With France strongly against the NATO agreement that was signed in 1949, De Gaulle attempted to rebuild Europe with France being the main power instead of allowing ?foreign meddling in France?s political agenda?."

Abstract
This paper explains that, even though the Treaty of Versailles ultimately failed, it changed diplomatic history. The author not only examines Woodrow Wilson's impossible plan for the treaty and the League of Nations but also addresses the motivations of France, Great Britain, Italy and Japan and what they hoped to gain. The paper relates that the German people also felt that they were being treated unfairly and were betrayed by their government; therefore, the problems, which they had with the government and with the allied forces, distressed the German people.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"This idea that Congress had regarding whether it would be more difficult to declare war was very important, as it also related to the spoils of war. The Treaty, had it been ratified, would have helped out many nations, but would have also made it more difficult for countries that did war with one another to collect items and take them home to their country. Because of this, the spoils of war that were generally collected would no longer be available, and many of the larger nations did not agree with this idea."

Abstract
This paper examines the effect of the Treaty of Versailles of 1919 on European history during the interwar period. It looks at how the territorial, financial and security framework and arrangements created by and under the treaty ultimately (by the late 1930s) failed to keep the peace in Europe. It evaluates how the terms of the treaty and the manner it was imposed on Germany contributed to the continuing instability of Central and Eastern Europe and to revanchist sentiment in Germany.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The reparations clause of the Treaty helped to undermine the political and economic stability of Germany and other nations in Central and Eastern Europe. The original amount of reparations demanded by the Allies ($200 billion by France) and ($120 billion by Britain) far exceeded postwar Germany's capacity to pay (Bailey 245). The combined burden of the initial reparations payments exacted from Germany in the early 1920s ($5 billion in gold), the dislocation to the German economy caused by the revolutionary situation at home and the adverse effects of the French occupation of the Ruhr led to a devastating devaluation of the German mark and hyperinflation."

Abstract
An in-depth look at the Maastricht Treaty and an examination of the provisions and impact.This paper examines some of the issues involved in trying to balance the national sovereignty and identity of member nations with the level of integration required to ensure that the union itself is strong. It also provides an historical look at the formation of the Union.
From the Paper
"In its most basic form, the Maastricht was an international agreement approved by the heads of government of the states of the European Community in the Dutch city of Maastricht 10 years ago, in December of 1991. It came into effect Nov. 1, 1993, at which time everyone with citizenship in any of the union's members also acquired Union citizenship. Perhaps even more importantly, the treaty also set in motion the establishment of a central banking system and a common currency for the entire continent. The treaty had as its purpose -- and in many ways the effect -- of providing for a common foreign and security policy for the continent."

Atlantic Canadian Immigration, 2007.
This paper discuses the problems with attracting and retaining immigrates to Atlantic Canada.
1,180 words (approx. 4.7 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 40.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that immigration to Atlantic Canada is important because Canadian immigrants stimulate economic activity through a strong work ethic based on previous experience and, in most cases, university training. The author points out that Canadian immigrants are mostly entrepreneurs of considerable wealth who are willing to invest in the Canadian economy and start their own business. The paper states that Atlantic Canada has a dominant white, poor population owing to a lack of immigration, which is usually non-white. The author stresses that the major stumbling block for immigration to Atlantic Canada is the lack of economic opportunity. The paper concludes that, especially for Atlantic Canada, immigration laws need to focus on making immigration swift and simple and on long-term settlement once immigration has occurred.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Poor Immigration Levels
Reasons behind Low Immigration Levels
Using the Law of Immigration to Promote Atlantic Canadian Economic Prosperity
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Atlantic Canada has so little immigration to Canada that the region was not even mentioned once in the body of Statistic Canada's 2004 immigration report. However, a glance over the report's appendix highlights the real inadequacy of Atlantic Canada's immigration problem: for example, only 2.1 percent of Halifax's population constituted "new arrival" status, compared to Toronto's 17.3 percent figure. The lack of immigration to Atlantic Canada is notable upon observation of population levels of Canada's more popular cities. For example, the populations of Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have defied national trends and even decreased over the last five years."

Post-Westphalia Treaty Europe, 2008.
An analysis of transnational organizations within post-Westphalia treaty Europe.

Abstract
This paper discusses how the concept of national sovereignty established by the Treaty of Westphalia has slowly but surely been replaced with one of supra-national organizations of various types, assuming both the authority and the responsibility for many tasks that were jealously guarded by the nations of Europe in the past. It examines the Treaty of Westphalia in light of these recent trends and illustrates how the actions of transnational organizations are Machiavellian in their very nature. The paper suggests that this represents a source of future conflict within Europe wherein only a supra-national body can apply effective governance.

Summary
From the Paper
"The research clearly showed that the signing of the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648 represented a demarcation point in European history wherein the concept of national sovereignty was established only to be replaced over time by a number of historical transformations in international law that have profound implications for the European Union of the 21st century. Based on the foregoing, it is reasonable to conclude that the actions of TNOs are Machiavellian in their very nature and this represents a fundamental source of future conflict within Europe and creates an environment in which only supra-national bodies can apply and sustain effective governance."

The Treaty of Versailles
Introduction:
"The intent in the following pages is to examine the origins of the Treaty of Versailles, its provisions, and its impact on all the signatories. A number of theorists consider the Treaty of Versailles and its harshness against Germany as the foundation of the German depression, the rise of Hitler, and the inception of World War II. If the Treaty of Versailles had been less punitive, they contend, Germany would not have experienced such deep humiliation and suffering, and would not have been as likely to respond to Hitler.
The Treaty of Versailles itself was developed from the pre.Armistice agreement between the Allies which was established on November 3, 1918."
