"Problem of Germany (1945-1948)
This research paper discusses the policy conflicts which arose between the United States and other Western powers and the Soviet Union over the problem of Germany during the years 1945 through 1948. Those policy conflicts and the underlying events are analyzed from the perspectives offered by different interpretations of them by traditional, realist, revisionist and neo-revisionist schools of thought.
The wartime Western-Soviet alliance effectively dealt with the common Nazi German military threat. However, by the end of World War II, the victors had agreed on little more than to occupy, de-nazify and jointly administer their defeated and devastated German former enemy. The traditional approaches of the United States and the Soviet Union to foreign policy largely..."

Abstract
In this paper the author examines the role of Protestantism, in particular the Lutherans, in post WWI Germany and how they helped lead to the downfall of the Wiemar Republic and the raise of Hitler?s Germany. The author pays particular attention to the groundwork laid by Martin Luther, the influence of the theological leaders of the 1920?s, the role of other major Protestant religions of Germany, and the factors affecting the Protestant German citizens of the time.
From the paper:
?The groundwork for the Protestant role in these historical events began with the writings of Martin Luther. German Protestants of the 1920?s, even those who were not Lutheran, felt a special bond with him. This tendency was reinforced by theological beliefs of the average Lutheran of the day and the feeling that German people had an especially strong bond with their homeland, a bond stronger than many other people of the world.?

Abstract
This paper embarks on an examination of the work of post-war critical theorists Adorno, Horkheimer and Marcuse who capture the dominant themes of post-war Critical Theory well. It proceeds to show how many parallels are evident between post-war Critical Theory and the more recently formulated postmodernist theories. An examination of postmodernist theories then ensues, taking as exemplars the work of Baudrillard, Jameson and Harvey. It concludes by arguing that postmodernist theories do indeed revisit the critique of modern culture, which post-war Critical Theory began and they do so without the political commitment to Marxism. An explanation for this follows, discussing the events which ?shattered a whole generation of French intellectual?s beliefs in the moral supremacy of Marxism? and sheds light on the climate which ultimately paved way for the emergence of postmodernism.
From the Paper
"Advertising encourages individuals to view themselves primarily as consumers, and under the guise of entertainment, audiences are manipulated into accepting and conforming to existing society. Kellner captures this sentiment well claiming ?advertising progressively fuses in style and technique with the entertainment of the culture industry, which in turn can be read as a series of advertisements for existing society and the established way of life? (1989:33). The culture industry is designed to discourage individuals from challenging the given order, to think critically and indeed, think for themselves. ?The need, which might resist control, has already been suppressed by the control of individual consciousness? (1995: 121). Adorno and Horkheimer show how the products of the culture industry are similar to those produced in a factory, sharing their belief that ?under monopoly all mass culture is identical?. (1995: 121)."

Abstract
This paper examines Germany after the end of the Second World War, answering the question of whether Germany would fall predominantly under Western or Soviet influence. It looks at how neither side trusted the other sufficiently to cooperate in constructing a German state which threatened neither of them. It analyzes the policy conflicts and the underlying events from the perspectives offered by different interpretations of them by traditional, realist, revisionist and neo-revisionist schools of thought.

From the Paper
"Right after the Pearl Harbor attack, FDR assured British Prime Minister Winston Churchill that the United States gave first priority to defeating Germany (Powaski 50). By vetoing British plans for invasion through the Balkans, in favor of a cross-channel attack which could not be mounted until 1944, FDR effectively ensured, said Solsten, that the Red Army would occupy East Germany (76). At the same time, FDR was unwilling to discuss post-war plans until 1943 in part because of the traditional American aversion to spheres of influence and his belief that the Four Policemen (America, Britain, Russia and possibly China) could maintain world order under a system of collective security within the framework of a United Nations, a carryover of Wilsonian idealism. FDR placed great faith in his ability to win Stalin's trust and to obtain Soviet postwar cooperation."

Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between the post- war prosperity, the development of the suburbs, and the perceived need for conformity in the United States. These factors, while apparently extremely different in appearance, are all connected through the changing social structure of America. The main cause of this change is best explored as that of a need for stability and the new finances that allowed the new American middle class to chase after that stability.

Germany: 1945 to 1949, 2007.

Abstract
The paper discusses German society's happiness, during the years from 1945-1949, over the demise of the old Nazi and moneyed elite, as well as the society's fanciful desire to "forget" the past. The paper also looks at the persistence of racist attitudes and the ideological and social divide between east and west which accompanied the partition of Germany by the occupying Allied powers. The paper argues that the German social situation in the late 1940s was one where the German people sought to escape the past, but found that geopolitical encumbrances, old attitudes and a divided land made that impossible.
From the Paper
"Most obviously from a social perspective, the end of the war meant the end of the ancient regime which had dominated Germany prior to the war and then during the course of the war. The erstwhile Nazi officials who remained as the war drew to a close "crawled and lick-spittled" as they sought to gain favor with the collapse of the Third Reich. At the same time, the youth of the land were angry and aggrieved at those who had callously called them forth into battle and then abandoned them when things were direst. Finally, the great masses of the German people were eager to be rid of National Socialism and receptive to re-education (Malzahn, 36).'

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.""

Population Control in Post-War America, 2007.
An analysis of contraception and population control in post-war America 1945-1960.

Abstract
This paper discusses the role of contraception after World War II with exclusive reference to the United States. It discusses America's position on domestic population control (quantitative, as opposed to qualitative) during this time, then contrasts these attitudes with America's views on international population control - particularly within developing nations.
From the Paper
"Contraception in the years following the war was a precarious and controversial issue. Everywhere, society seemed to be celebrating and encouraging procreation, with the media constantly including images of glowing domesticity in publications directed at women. Marriage and motherhood were deemed not only appropriate courses for the nation's generation of young women, but were deemed honourable and praiseworthy as well. The economic prosperity that had befallen the nation following their victory in war allowed young families to have more children, and 'the home' soon became the locus of attention, where all the family's money was poured. Contraception was scarcely discussed during these times, since society was so clearly pro-natalist. "

Japanese Post-World War II Economic Development, 2002.
A look at the cultural advantages of Japan's post-war economic miracle.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that some elements of pre-World War II Japanese culture proved to be advantages to the processes of economic reconstruction as they took hold in the first decades after 1945. If the Japanese recovery is looked at in terms of class and economy only, the Japanese defeat in World War II signaled a complete break from the imperial ethos, which had dominated national culture and contributed to practically every aspect of Japanese cultural and economic life. When Japanese post-war economic development is explored in ways which include cultural advantages, however, the so-called "miracle" of reconstruction begins to seem somewhat more predictable.

The Post-Cold War World, 2006.
A critical review of three readings dealing with building peace in a post-Cold War world.

Click here to show/hide summary
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 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, 2005.
A look at the way that the United States developed post the Cold War into the world's superpower.
2,487 words (approx. 9.9 pages), 8 sources, APA, $ 75.95

Click here to show/hide summary
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."

Abstract
The foundation to the economic recovery has been the very high levels of economic development that Japan has achieved. In the Japanese occupational system, lifetime employment did offer incentive to work hard. This is a very important fact to keep in mind in order to determine the secrets of the success of post-war Japan.
