Abstract
This paper presents a critical review and response to three readings. The readings include Boutros Ghali's "An Agenda for Peace: Preventive Diplomacy, Peacemaking and Peacekeeping", Michael Small's "Peacebuilding in Post-conflict Societies" and Carrie Manning's "Local Level Challenges to Post-Conflict Peacebuilding". All three address the topic of peacebuilding in the post-Cold War world.
From the Paper
"In An Agenda for Peace, Ghali discusses the purpose of the United Nations, as well as gives an analysis and recommendations on ways the UN can strengthen their means for preventative diplomacy, including peacemaking and peacekeeping. These two fundamental components of preventative diplomacy are quite different, despite both centering on peace. With peacemaking, actions are used to end hostilities. However, peacekeeping involves not only making peace, but maintaining it as well, once it is achieved. With the end of the Cold War, there came the opportunity for globalized peace on a scale never before known, and the UN has been charged with the task of acquiring and maintaining this international peace and security."

Abstract
This paper examines various theories into how and why the United States developed so quickly into being the world's only real superpower following the Cold War. It looks at the country's unsurpassed military capabilities and its political agenda. The writer concludes that the real geo-political organization of the post-Cold War world is a single pole of world power that constitutes the United States at the peak of the industrial west.
From the Paper
"Presently, American military expenditure enhances that of the next twenty countries altogether. Its navy, air force and space power are still considered unsurpassed. While the military expenditure by US associates is eliminated, the United States has the military expenditure to the tune of about twice as much on defense as the rest of the world altogether. The American troops have been deployed in 75 nations; each organ of the armed services has its own air force, and in the coming year we are capable of becoming aware whether the US can pull off what it has been preparing to do since the end of the cold war: struggle for two regional wars at the same moment. During the post 9/11 period most of the Americans are quite anxious to spend more on military activity than the next 15 nations collectively. They have enough faith in the pledge of our leaders that we are secured only when we could overcome our enemies and eliminate them adequately. Moreover, the American technology is quite alluring. It is prominent by every measure: military economic, technological, diplomatic, and cultural even linguistic with numerous countries trying to fend off the unalterable transition of Internet fueled MTV English."

Security Post Cold War, 2004.
This paper examines the transnational security environment during the present post-Cold War era.

Abstract
This paper explains that the post-Cold War age, which resulted in a decline of the bipolar system, has created a very complex political struggle with a new security duality: On one side, (1) a uni-polar system, with the United States acting as a single hegemonic power, combined with a multi-polar system, emphasizing multinational cooperation and globalism, versus the other side, (2) nation-states, which are splintering into terrorist societies. The author points out that, while the causes of conflicts during the Cold War were ideological and territorial issues, post-Cold War conflicts are caused by much more eminent and diversified factors such as ethnicity, religion, governance and poverty. The paper relates that the intensity of religious fanaticism, which founded and flamed the conflicts between the Western and Arab worlds for thousands of years, assures that terrorism will continue to challenge world security because neither side will back down in the wake of new cultural and social ideals.
From the Paper
"Presently, nations are becoming ever more intrinsically connected, affecting economies, politicalization, social issues, and citizenry. Today's interdependence is the intertwining of nations in a globalized world. Economically speaking, countries are not as self-reliant as they once were in terms of markets, commodities and exchange rates. Investments are being made by corporate American all over the world in terms of increasing profits and opening markets. General self-rule and flexibility is lost by individual states as we move towards a global economy and, "at a minimum will raise serious questions about the meaning of internal and external sovereignty.""

Abstract
This essay identifies and explores some of the major challenges to European economic integration in the post-cold war era. It also traces the development of the European Union from the years following World War Two to the groundbreaking Maastricht Treaty.
From the Paper
"At the close of the Second World War, Heads of State from around the globe came together with the goal of ensuring that the devastation seen in that violent conflict would never again be repeated. One of their primary goals was to reinforce the European economy so that the continent could rise from the ashes of their broken cities and achieve the eminent philosopher Immanuel Kant?s dream of perpetual peace. The U.S. Secretary of State, George C. Marshall, devised a plan that would give Europe the aid it so desperately needed but only if the individual countries pulled together and launched a joint effort to revitalize their continent. This measure would ensure the impecunious economic conditions that indirectly brought Hitler, Mussolini and Franco into power would be avoided. As the years progressed and the wounds of war slowly healed, Western European economies began to integrate their coal and steel markets."

Post-Cold War Transnational Crime, 2005.
Analyzes transnational crime since the end of the Cold War.
1,350 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 6 sources, $ 53.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines transnational crime which has increased since the end of the Cold War fifteen years ago, primarily because the collapse of the Soviet empire provided vast new opportunities for international criminals to traffic more extensively in illegal arms sales and black marketeering. The fall of the Soviet Union and its entire economic and security infrastructure has had many consequences. The paper shows that many Russian conventional and nuclear weapons arsenals are no longer secure because the government lacks the funds to provide adequate security staffs, and unemployment is so high that many Russians are engaging in black market activities.

Asia in the Post-Cold War Era, 2006.
A study of the impact of religious ideology in the Asian region.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how religious ideology has impacted the development of national identity throughout Asia and the South Pacific over the past twenty years. The paper begins with an analysis of India in the post-colonial era, which the author asserts has proven to be one of the most effective yet exclusive countries in the world. The paper demonstrates how the division of culture and diversity has been created by the development of the independent nation of Pakistan, almost solely based upon national pride and religious differences. The paper also discusses the impact of poverty as a dividing force in the nation, since those who are members of the dominant faith tend to be allowed more opportunity, whether by virtue of their familial past or by virtue of a discriminatory system. Next the paper turns to the transformation of Japan from an ancient to ultra-modern society, which is viewed by many as a western triumph. Yet the paper notes that the country has been culturally whitewashed of its tradition and simplicity. The paper concludes with a brief examination of other trends in national identity in Southeast Asia, including in Korea and Hong Kong.
From the Paper
"The post-cold war era, far from making the "end of history" and the triumph of the western ideal, will be characterized by increased global fragmentation and the "clash of civilizations" based on ethical, cultural and religious distinctions. Cultural identity has replaced any shared ideology that had existed as the dominant global perspective in world affairs. To a great degree nationalism, be it exclusive or inclusive of cultural minorities has become the driving force behind many world decisions and the many lessons of diversity, taught over the last 50 plus years have congealed into the pride of ideological difference that is created by the borders of ones nation and the culture of the people within it. The catch twenty-two of diversity has become fragmented ideologies of exclusion of diversity rather than inclusive of difference and equality. Within this collective there are many forces at work that create exclusion, the most influential being religious ideology, be it by representation alone, or by true religious cohesion."

From the Paper
"The United Nations faces a new power structure in the world with the breakup of the Soviet Union and the Soviet bloc. This provides a new opportunity to reconstitute the UN so that it more clearly fulfills the original purpose of the United Nations, which was to avoid conflict or to settle it without force. The new paradigm may be bolstering international law and arbitration in order to judge the actions of nations according to ethical standards.
After World War I, many of the nations of the world tried to address one of the issues that had interested idealists for some time--the creation of some means for international adjudication as a way of authoritatively and peacefully settling international disputes. One of the institutions that emerged from this war was the League of Nations, a forerunner of the United Nations but ..."

"Section I
Introduction
The end of the Cold War ushered in a new strategic era for the United States. As a consequence, the roles and missions of the United States armed forces have been revised, or at least, are in a transition period where new roles and missions are being assessed (9:1). One of the most controversial of the roles and missions being considered and, in some instances, implemented for the United States armed forces in this transition period is the conduct of Military Operations Other Than War, or MOOTW (4:1). MOOTW is not a new concept for United States armed forces, as the Berlin Airlift in the 1948-1949 period will attest (4:1). The framework of MOOTW in the contemporary period, however, includes such activities as peacekeeping, peacemaking..."

Abstract
The paper argues that the post cold war era has heightened global security concerns and more particularly the security worries of the United States. It describes how America, as a nation, is now challenged by forces, which by nature are much smaller and weaker, however due to their uncertain and unorthodox warfare, have made the U.S. more vulnerable than ever before.

The Post Cold War Disarray
Terrorism the new World War
Iraq war and New Implications
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The direct involvement of the US in the Middle East has lasted for more than a decade now. At this point, an evaluation of the success of the U.S involvement reveals that the country has failed in its mission, (creating stability) at least to a large extent. Chaos and the state of anarchy continue. For instance, the post Sadam Hussain period has turned Iraq into a melting pot of anarchy. As Fuat Keyman states, "Weapons of Mass Destruction and any organic bond between Iraq and September 11 terrorist could not be found"[Ramin Ahmadov] and this has further infuriated the nationalist sentiments of the people of the Middle East. This translated into 'anti American' and 'anti western sentiments' resulting in global attack against western interests. "And world turned into a more insecure place. In the same period we observed that Palestine question, that has key role in the formation of regional peace, entered into irresolvable situation.". [Ramin Ahmadov]"

This paper explores three global post-Cold War political trends.

Abstract
Firstly, the paper looks at the idea of "unipolarism" -the development of one super-power in the world. Secondly, it explores the consequences when a powerful country takes on territorial commitments it cannot maintain. And thirdly, it touches on the concept of "bizonalism" - the theory that the world can be divided into 2 zones: one of power, peace and prosperity; and one of of dysfunction and turmoil.
From the Paper
"The world since the cold war has had its share of times of peace and times of war. Many major conflicts and wars have taken place. The cold war ended in 1989, during the Bush administration. During this time of rivalry between the United States and Russia, the politics in the world was leading in a downward spiral. With two super powers at each other's throughts the world was in a time of war and turmoil. Today the politics in the world has changed greatly. There is a clear cut organization of politics and a certain hierarchy in the world. The terrors of the cold war days have given us three major views of politics, which are recognized throughout the world. The three major ideas of today are those of unipolarism, an idea that if a great power exceeds its reach in the world it will lead to its demise and an idea of bizonalizm."

Abstract
Analysis of two U.S. Cold War documents. President Harry Truman's 1949 Inaugural Address and National Security Council Directive 68. How both documents together serve as the Post-World War II message of the U.S. regarding the strategic, economic, ideological & military struggle between the U.S. & the Soviet Union. Shaping of the post-war world.
From the Paper
"President Harry S. Truman's 1949 Inaugural Address and National Security Council Directive 68, taken together, comprise the basic notions of the authors and of the nation with respect to the world economy as the Cold War began to intensify. In the aftermath of World War II, that Cold War was the dark backdrop to the messages of both authors, with the new postwar world emerging as a strategic, economic, ideological and military battleground between the superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union.
Each of the four basic points of Truman's speech focus directly or indirectly on the perceived threat of the Soviet Union. Truman emphasizes the commitment of the U.S. to helping others recover economically from the ravages of World War II, but he ignores the fact that aside from Germany, perhaps the Soviet..."

Rhetoric of the War on Terror vs. the Cold War, 2008.
An analysis of the power of the definition of terms such as "Cold War" and "War on Terror."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper compares the rhetoric and arguments that surround the Cold War and the War on Terror. It discusses how the definition of terms such as "Cold War" or "War on Terror" has a large impact upon how these wars are viewed. The paper argues that those who define and utilize the terms, primarily governments, often do so with ulterior motives, with the understanding that the one who controls the definition also controls the methodology of approach and influences public attitudes.
From the Paper
"The orthodox interpretation of the Cold War, for instance, stated that the beginning of the Cold War can be traced to the Soviet attempt to expand its sphere of control into Eastern Europe. This theory notes that the Soviets violated treaties made during the war to limit its reach. Thus, the U.S. is portrayed as acting in a purely defensive way to protect itself and stem the expansion of communism worldwide, through such strategies as the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan. This standard view of the Cold War, which certainly had much evidence in its favor, began to be questioned in the 1960s, as the failure of the Vietnam War, then a major theater of operations in which the U.S. faced off the communist expansion, became impossible to ignore. Some writers around that time began to argue that the U.S. itself was an "empire" with global reach, not unlike many other empires throughout history, and thus was not solely in a defensive position against its opponent. More recent writers, notably Noam Chomsky, make a similar argument. Related to this critique of U.S. actions is the argument that the U.S. economic motivation, to force all nations in the world to open themselves to U.S. trade and economic influence, is also a source of worldwide conflict and opposition, both during the Cold War and during the current War on Terror (Richelson and Evans)."

From the Paper
"The Cold War was characterized by mutual distrust, suspicion and misunderstanding by both the United States and Soviet Union, and their allies. At times, these conditions increased the likelihood of the third world war. The United States accused the USSR of seeking to expand Communism throughout the world. The Soviets, meanwhile, charged the United States with practicing imperialism and with attempting to stop revolutionary activity in other countries. Each block's vision of the world contributed to East-West tension. The United States wanted a world of independent nations based on democratic principles. The Soviet Union, however, tried control areas it considered vital to its national interest, including much of Eastern Europe."

"Dismantling The Cold War Economy" ( Ann Markusen and Joel Yudken ), 1995.

From the Paper
"This study will examine Dismantling the Cold War Economy, by Ann Markusen and Joel Yudken, considering the chief problems associated with the Cold War economy, the impact of the Cold War on U.S. industry, and the possibility and opportunities of economic conversion from Cold War imperatives, as well as the obstacles to that conversion. The argument herein will be that despite the fact that the military domination of the Cold War economy created serious obstacles to post-Cold War conversion, and despite the fact that those obstacles are deeply entrenched despite the end of the Cold War, such conversion is possible. Perhaps the authors are overly optimistic in this regard, but it would still be going too far to argue that conversion is impossible. After all, the conversion to a military-industrial-dominated economy (which had its origins not in the Cold War but ..."
