From the Paper
"After entering Egypt with no resistance, Alexander the Great stayed in Egypt about six months. (Platt and Ashwani 1985) From there he marched east into Asia and onto the plains of Indus, (modern day India). Before departing for points east Alexander appointed a nobleman from Macedonia satrap, (governor), of Egypt. His name was Ptolemy. In 306 B.C. having been part of ongoing civil wars with the other generals from Alexander?s campaigns, Ptolemy declared himself king, and later god-king, of Egypt. Thus began the Hellenistic kingdom of Ptolemaic Egypt."

Integration in Europe
Within the context of international regional integration, there are five levels--(a) free-trade area, (b) customs union, (c) common market, (d) economic union, and (e) political union (Grosse & Kujawa, 1988). Each successive level involves a greater degree of integration. At the lowest level of integration, the free-trade area, tariffs are eliminated on the ... "

The Ptolemaic Dynasty, 2004.
Traces the decline of the Egyptian Ptolemaic Dynasty from its position as one of the greatest powers in the world to its eventual defeat at the hands of Caesar Augustus and the take-over of Egypt by Rome.

Abstract
This paper argues that the incapacity to govern among many of the Ptolemies led to internal strife and the loss of the respect of other world powers for Egypt, which, in turn, set the stage for the Ptolemaic Dynasty's downfall at the hands of the Romans. The paper discusses the notably incompetent Egyptian pharaohs and illustrates how their actions led to their empire's demise.
From the Paper
"In the third century BC, the Ptolemaic Empire was a vast and far-reaching kingdom, including territories in Cyrenaica, the eastern Mediterranean coast up to Tripolis, the island of Cyprus, and various other islands in the north Mediterranean (Bowman 28). However, from 96 BC onwards, the rule of the Ptolemies no longer extended overseas except in Cyprus. The Ptolemies became kings in name only, as the real power over the land and the people lay with Rome (Bowman 33). What caused the Ptolemaic Dynasty to decline from its position as one of the greatest kingdoms of the Hellenistic world and become a mere line of Roman puppets with no real power in the first century BC? Many different factors no doubt contributed to this, but the demise was principally a result of the shortcomings and incompetencies of the Ptolemaic rulers themselves. Decisive events during the reigns of some of the rulers illustrate poor judgment, ineffectual leadership, and a fatal reliance on Roman assistance. The incapable governance of the Ptolemies and the consequent internal strife of the kingdom led to increased vulnerability to and reliance on Rome and provided the appropriate climate for an eventual Roman take-over."

From the Paper
"The Hellenistic period covers some 300 years, from 323 B.C. to 31 B.C. The beginning of the era was marked by the death of Alexander the Great, and the end came with the Roman conquest of the Hellenistic regime. There were massive political changes during this time period, as the self-contained city-states suddenly gave way to the much more loosely organized domains of the Hellenistic kings. In addition, Greek cities were now founded far to the East of the previous boundaries of Hellenism."

Abstract
This report focuses on the historical significance of the Hellenistic society, and its impact on the world.

Further, the writer looks at the significant alterations made in politics, religion, art, architecture, and philosophy of the time.
From the Paper
"The Hellenistic Period, although a time of great unrest and turmoil in history, laid the framework for modern societies throughout the world. Overcoming struggles of power, kingdoms won and lost, shifts in governmental structure, and changes in social order, the people of the Hellenistic Period created an epic past that we can build upon in expanding the cultures of our contemporary planet. "Hellene", the word for the Greeks, is the core of the term "Hellenistic". The Hellenistic Period was considered the age of the Greeks, and it was a time in which the Greek culture impacted the world through politics, literature, art, philosophy, drama, and religion."

Hellenistic Art, 2002.
An insight into Hellenistic Art and its influences.
810 words (approx. 3.2 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 28.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how Hellenistic Art was primarily influenced by Alexander the Great?s conquests, which introduced the culture, arts and philosophies of foreign lands into the Greek milieu and how it mirrored Alexander?s pride, his vision and his stature. It looks at how the term ?Hellenistic? describes the arts that fuse the Greek with Asian traditions and reflects a shift in Greek consciousness away from the pantheon of gods toward a private, wealthy sector of art collectors. It evaluates how while the Classical arts of Ancient Greece adorned temples, Hellenistic art decorated the palaces of kings and of the private houses of wealthy connoisseurs.
From the Paper
"New dynastic centers like those at Pergamum and Alexandria promoted large-scale palace architecture influenced by Oriental styles and scale. New royal patronage for the arts differed from that of Classical Greece city-state patronage. Instead of the anonymous, religious statues like that on the Athenian Parthenon, statues honored war victories, new syncretic deities, and portraiture of royal families. The faces and figures of gods and goddesses changed, influenced by the religious traditions of Egypt, the Far East and the Middle East. In short, Greece was less important to Greek art. The Classical period climaxed and left a legacy as grand of that of the Athenian Parthenon. Towns were already established, their architecture preserved."

Abstract
In the history of human civilization, no one has attained greater popularity in the realm of conquest of great human civilizations in the world than Alexander the Great. This great leader, general and conqueror of early Western and Eastern civilizations in the world is renowned for his extraordinary ability to conquer and administer numerous cities and kingdoms. He is also regarded as the Great Emperor of human civilization during his time because of his ability to lead his military troops and maintain order and stability in his land despite various revolts and antagonism about his conquests, leadership abilities and decisions as a ruler. This paper presents a general biography of the life of Alexander the Great as the great leader of human civilization. However, the focus of this paper shows Alexander the Great not only as the conqueror of Western and Eastern kingdoms, but also as an individual dedicated to the cultivation of Hellenistic Civilization, which was the prevailing culture and society in his kingdoms during his time of reign.
From the Paper
"Aside from his title as King of Macedonia, he was also given the title of being the Emperor of Persia, and the son of Amon-Ra, the Sun god of the Egyptian mythology. Although he acquired numerous titles under these different cultures, Alexander the Great remained faithful to the cultivation of the Hellenistic Civilization that started during the reign of his father, King Phillip II. During his reign, Alexander the Great contributed significantly to the Hellenistic Civilization through the cultivation of Greek culture, society, and politics. In Greek politics, the conquests that Alexander conducted, his method of conquering kingdoms and vast lands, as well as his leadership skills, had been the model of what politics is like during the Hellenistic civilization. The conceptualization and emergence of the great and central city of Alexandria is a perfect example of the society and culture that Alexander the Great cultivated during his reign as Emperor of these conquered kingdoms."

The Hellenistic Era, 2008.
An analysis of philosophical and religious syncretism in the Hellenistic Era.
1,334 words (approx. 5.3 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the syncretistic or homogeneous tenets of Hellenistic religion and philosophy. It looks at how the military expansionism of Alexander the Great's Macedonian armies helped to bring about a greater knowledge of differing belief systems, which allowed greater syncretism between philosophy and religion. It also discusses how, due to the elitist and often exclusionary principles of extremist religious (Pharisees) and philosophical tenets (Aristotle and Plato), the creation of Stoicism and Epicureanism helped unify the divide between these two factions.
From the Paper
"The greater part of the Hellenistic era is derivative from the invasions of Alexander the Great (356-323 BCE) form his native Macedonia. From about 336 BCE, Alexander the Great had conquered much of the Mediterranean and had a massive influence over the way that people thought about religion and about philosophy. Although Alexander was essentially a Macedonian he was far different from the mainland Greeks in his tolerance for other religious ideals. In many ways, he was able to integrate both aspects of religion and philosophy into a more unified system. "

Rome and Hellenistic Civilization, 2008.
This paper argues that Rome was the heir of Hellenistic civilization.
1,780 words (approx. 7.1 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 57.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper maintains that Roman civilization was a true heir to Hellenistic civilization since it was based on a Roman cultural base that grew and changed by adding elements from other conquered cultures. The paper explains that, although Roman civilization used many Greek elements, it combined them in a uniquely Roman way. The paper therefore shows how Roman culture was not just a pale imitation of the Greek culture.
From the Paper
"To begin this argument it is necessary to define a Hellenistic civilization. In The Western Humanities Roy T. Matthews and Dewitt Platt argue that Hellenistic relates to, "...the time period from about 323 to 31 B.C., when Greek and oriental or Middle Eastern cultures and institutions intermingled to create a heterogeneous and cosmopolitan civilization.""
"This definition would seem to indicate that Rome was not a
Hellenistic civilization because it does not fit the time frame. However, Rome was located in the right geographic area and due to its expansion and absorption of conquered peoples had a heterogeneous and cosmopolitan civilization. This would seem to indicate that Rome was an heir to Hellenistic civilization even though it does not fit into the definition of Matthews and Platt."

Abstract
This paper looks at the influence that Hellenistic rule had on Judaism of the time. It explains how the Jews compromised by altering enough to blend in, but did not completely lose their roots and heritage. It focuses on the writings of Aristobolus and Philo, two Hellenistic Jewish philosophers who provided a rich source of information for understanding Jewish life during this period.
From the Paper
"During the 5th century B.C., several lands including that of the Hebrew people came under Greek rule due to Alexander the Great's conquests. Previously, the Babylonians had conquered the Hebrews? kingdom, destroying the capital city, Jerusalem, along with their religious center, Solomon?s Temple. The Babylonians also exiled most of the Hebrew people from their homeland. However, when the Persians later conquered Babylon, the Hebrews were allowed to return to Jerusalem and rebuild their Temple. When the armies of Alexander the Great in turn defeated the Persians, the Hebrews were allowed to return, and Jerusalem and their homeland came under Greek rule. Hebrew literature written under Greek rule during this time period is therefore called Second-Temple literature, since the Babylonians destroyed the first Temple."

The Europeanization Process.
This paper is a research project which discusses the Europeanization of Europe through the European Union (EU).
15,550 words (approx. 62.2 pages), 41 sources, APA, $ 249.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper studies the concept of Europeanization by examining the geo-social framework in which this process is taking place, along several key dimensions, including labor, immigration and refugees; financial and securities and legal considerations. The author uses a methodology that includes an interpretive approach to the scholarly literature followed by an analysis of relevant statistical data, which are indicative of the key dimensions being investigated to identify past, current and future trends in the Europeanization process. The paper relates that the research clearly showed that, in sharp contrast to the United States being the "melting pot" of the world, the nations of Europe have historically been fiercely proud of their unique and distinct cultural and political heritages, making the transition to an integrated political and economic entity all the more problematic. Many charts and tables.

From the Paper
"Although these are the same types of forces that have historically fueled societal growth around the world, the EU appears to be experiencing them in more profound and pervasive ways than have ever been experienced before. As a result, the integration of the European community has continued its rocky but relentless course throughout the last decade of the 20th century, including the creation of a European Union and a single currency in the 1992 Maastricht Treaty, as well as the subsequent deepening of integration in the 1997 Amsterdam Treaty which extended the use of qualified majority voting and the delegation of powers to supranational institutions. However, a recurring preoccupation over such projects of European unification, both popularly and in academia, has been the issue of the grounds for furthering the concept of common sense of belonging in throughout the Europe Union today."

The European Neighborhood Policy (ENP), 2007.
This paper is an extensive literature review of the European Neighborhood Policy (ENP) of the European Union, especially with regard to the inclusion of Georgia.

Abstract
This paper explains that European Neighborhood Policy (ENP) was developed to combat some of the European security issues that exist in Europe. Authorities believe that the ENP would enhance the European Union's ability to secure the region against terrorism and would help promote the economy and overall quality of life of the region. The author points out that originally the ENP applied to its direct neighbors: Algeria, Belarus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Moldova, Morocco, the Palestinian Authority, Syria, Tunisia and Ukraine. Later, however, it was extended to include the countries of the Southern Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia) with whom the present candidate countries, Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey, share either a maritime or land border. The paper concludes that by eradicating terrorists or criminal activities and by strengthening the political and justice systems in the country, the ENP will be helpful to Georgia. The paper includes many quotations.

From the Paper
"According to the commission's report these agreements permit the expansion of cooperation and economic amalgamation across a variety of domains. The effects of these agreements have not been realized at the current time. In any case, the ENP provides a foundation for improved cooperation in many distinct domains so that the EU and its partners can realize the full benefit of the structures that are in place (European Neighborhood Policy). To this end, the Action Plans will establish key priorities to be tackled in the years to come."
