Abstract
This paper argues that the nature of the Arab-Israeli conflict, in itself, is not irresolvable. International law clearly provides the means for settling the issue; Israel and Palestine should both recognize the other's right to existence and security, and pre-1967 borders, with no exceptions, should be respected. The paper argues that were we living in an international community in which international relations were determined by the just application of the law, the conflict may have been resolved. However, since we are living in an international community in which international relations are determined by force and power, the conflict is constantly becoming more and more critical because one side to the conflict has been given the power to disregard the law, while the other has been denied the protection of the law. The paper shows that the Arab-Israeli conflict is not, therefore, examined in this research in order to argue a solution, but as a means of exposing, in the author's opinion, the true face of international relations as governed by the law of force and power.
From the Paper
"At the very start of the occupation, that is in 1967, Israel admitted that it was an "occupying force." A few years later, Israel insisted that it had to continue its occupation of Arab Palestinian lands until a final peace treaty was signed. Meanwhile, Israel began to establish Jewish settlements, or what can be defined as small Jewish villages, on the Arab lands. To justify doing so, contrary to international law which prohibited an occupier from establishing settlements on occupied territories, Israel stated that these territories were "of strategic importance to its defense," and therefore, "land would be expropriated for settlements that would serve Israeli security interests." At this point, Israel stated that the status of these occupied lands would be negotiated over in the final peace settlement."

From the Paper
"Using advances in weaponry to fight modern wars (and with advanced weaponry and its use being the cause of modern wars), and looking at modern wars in this light, it does not appear that there have been many changes in the reasons for war throughout the course of human history. In this light, wars are still fought over perceived threats, the desire for dominion, and as pre-emptive strikes against potential enemies. Nations, not people, are still the actors in these wars. The modern world is a little more complex than this, however. Despite the fact that human beings have changed very little from ancient times, the issues we are dealing with have changed, and this requires a more sophisticated and nuanced view of the causes and proper handling of modern warfare than Hirst has to offer."

Abstract
The paper discusses the conflict that has been brewing between the United States and Iran, which has revolved ostensibly around Iran's possible violations of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The paper shows that the conflict between Iran and the U.S. has been evident in the international policies of both nations. Iran has engaged in a series of political and economic actions that are directed squarely at undermining the U.S.'s international authority. The U.S., in turn, has tried to rally international support, largely through the United Nations Security Council, to control Iran's actions.

From the Paper
"An example of a country upon whose entire history is derived from the act of separation lies just south of Canada in the U.S.A. It was in their separation from the British Empire in 1776 that a new country was born. From this the United States of America began its climb to becoming the most industrialized and powerful nation in the world. As well as being the starting point for the United States, the separatist idea continued to face the country throughout its history. This is proven when looking at the American Civil War. It was the separatist south that threatened the existence of United States, of which had to be overcome to recreate the country in 1865.
"It is in examples like this that show us that the separatist idea is one that affects humanity globally. If one were to think about all the countries in the world today that have separated from another at one point in their existence, the list would number at least 20. It has and continues to shape the world we inhabit today, affecting people in the developing world, and those living in developed nations. "

"International Conflict", 2004.
An analysis of James Morrow's article, "International Conflict: Assessing the Democratic Peace and Offense-Defense Theory."
1,081 words (approx. 4.3 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 37.95

Abstract
This paper provides a critical review of Morrow's article. It explains how he begins the article with a theoretical overview of the potential reasons states enter into war and ends with several specific examples, including the nations involved in World War II. It discusses how Morrow is particularly interested in why democratic states, traditionally states that give, at least, lip service to the value of pacific settlements, enter into a war.
From the Paper
"One of the key reasons they do so, he states, is uncertainty. ?The other side,? he suggests in a hypothetical scenario, might like to accept a potential settlement about a disputed territory rather than enter into a conflict. ?However, the other side?s minimal acceptable deal depends on the value it places on fighting a war; a value that combines how important the stakes are to it, its judgment about its chances on the battlefield, and how it assesses the likely costs of a war. All of these are known only to that state; they are, in the language of game theory, its private information. The state making the demand cannot know any of these three, although it certainly has some beliefs about each. It cannot be certain what demand will extract the best possible settlement for itself, and asking for too much leads to war."

International Ethnic Conflict, 2002.
This paper discusses that the United States and the international community should refrain from intervention into ethnic conflicts within sovereign nations except in the cases of extreme violence.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper defines international ethnic conflicts as disputes between communities within a sovereign nation that see themselves as having distinct rights over the power relationship between these communities, such as in Bosnia. The author believes that such ethnic conflicts should be monitored to identify a point at which it appears peace is deteriorating; and, at that time, substantial diplomatic effort should be expended to prevent further deterioration. The author concludes that only in cases of extreme violence should the United States and the international community rely on a military intervention to end the conflict.
From the Paper
"The ambivalence in the American public's reaction to the international community's recent military intervention in Bosnia reveals a general ambivalence toward the use of military force where no tangible strategic interests are at risk. However, Milosevic did offer a tangible target against which the military force could be directed. The international community was able therefore to generate support against a common, identifiable enemy. Unfortunately, as Richard Betts points out, intervention in a civil war usually becomes an issue only when the sides are closely enough matched that neither can defeat the other quickly. Thus, in many cases, the international community may be unable to identify an enemy against whom they can rally support or they may be forced to wait until the situation deteriorates until choosing the better side becomes only a matter of degree. Unfortunately, the latter can often be the case in ethnic conflicts."

From the Paper
"In today's economy companies can no longer be satisfied with serving a single geographic market. This strategy is still effective for some businesses but many companies-including small and medium-sized organizations-have recognized the benefits of expanding their operations to the global market. With the advent of the Internet and the ability to transfer funds across borders seamlessly and with low transaction costs the move toward globalization is no longer limited to only large companies ..."

Conflict and Conflict Resolution, 2007.
This paper examines the issue of conflict and resolution, studying the terrorist attacks of September 11.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article the writer first discusses the term 'conflict' and looks at how it can be defined. The writer then describes that when an Islamic militant and terrorist took it upon himself to resolve a conflict as he saw it, he launched terror attacks on the people of the United States of America, and the result was large scale devastation and destruction and panic and adverse impacts on the economic and political and social system of the United States. Further, the writer studies the impact and attempts at resolution of the conflict. The writer concludes that perhaps, in the long run, Bush's ideals would create more conflict around the globe, than resolve them in any way. One can only wait and see what will happen eventually, and find out whether it is possible to resolve conflicts of high order with any amount of success.
From the Paper
"However, at the same time, it must be remembered that there were other losses that were not covered by private insurance, or were not qualified under the charitable contributions, or even by the emergency relief funds, and these were the really huge losses that occurred due to the September 11 terrorist attacks. Several different agencies undertook the study of the economic losses that were caused by the September 11 debacle, and according to the New York City Partnership, the attacks on the two World Trade Center Buildings must have cost the state, at the very least, $ 83 billion, as per the value in the year 2001, and this included the costs of total losses, that is, both the direct and the indirect costs. Out of this estimate, only about $ 67 billion of the losses would be completely covered by insurance and other contributions. In a more recent study, according to an Officer of the New York City Comptroller's Office, as of April 2002, the total costs of the clean up of the World Trade Center has been much quicker and also much less costly than the initial estimates had indicated."

Abstract
This paper is a detailed discussion of Islamic criminal law, its sources, its application, and its conflict with international law and human rights. The author examines both primary and secondary sources of Islamic law, and describes Hudud, Tazir and Qesas crime and punishment. The paper also focuses on the historical background of Muslim law.
From the paper:
?Islam means ?submission? or ?surrender? to the will of Allah. For the more than one billion Muslims of the world, this means submission to a comprehensive code of law governing every arena of life: social, political, economic, and religious. In Islam there is no separation of church and state, no distinction between religion and politics; Government, law, and religion are unified. Some would argue that Islamic law is not fully practiced in any part of the Islamic world. While this may be true, twenty-three nations have either declared Islam to be the state religion or declared the religious writings of Islam to be the principal source of law.?

Religion and Conflict, 2004.
This paper discusses the opinion that religious conflicts are more difficult than others to resolve without violence.

Abstract
This article looks at the belief that religious conflicts are more difficult to resolve non-violently than many other types of conflicts, because people cling dogmatically to their religious beliefs and are seldom willing to compromise them. The writer conveys this opinion by offering a number of historical examples, such as the Crusades and the Reformation. The paper then offers a couple of present examples, such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Muslim-Christian conflict in the Sudan. Through these examples an unwillingness to compromise is demonstrated, showing that resolving religious conflicts non-violently is more difficult than resolving many other types of conflict.
From the Paper
"The writer believes that religious conflicts are more difficult to resolve non-violently than many other types of conflicts, because many people cling dogmatically to their beliefs and are seldom willing to compromise. The most noteworthy of these religious conflicts spanned four-hundred years from the eleventh to the fifteenth century and were known as the Crusades. The Crusades were expeditions undertaken in fulfillment of a solemn vow to deliver the Christian Holy Places from Mohammedan tyranny. This conflict resulted in open and sporadic warfare that ended without a ... "

Religious Pluralism in American Society, 2006.
This paper studies religious differences based on the article "Neighboring Faiths: How Will Americans Cope with Increasing Religious Diversity?" by Diana L. Eck.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains how the increase in old world religions and the hate crimes that result from this is a social issue that America is facing at present. The paper quotes Eck's suggestion that religious pluralism is the answer, meaning that people in society must not only exercise tolerance for people of various cultures and beliefs, but must also involve oneself actively with them. The paper looks at the difficulties of this theory, quoting Kenneth Samples, and offers an alternative solution of Nabil Marshood. The paper concludes that Eck's theory of religious pluralism is ideal but not practical to achieve while the solutions of rejecting religious pluralism (K. Samples) and the alternative to choose religious pluralism with integration (N. Marshood) are more practical answers in effectively confronting the religious conflict that is growing in American society.
From the Paper
"The article "Neighboring Faiths: How Will Americans Cope with Increasing Religious Diversity?" by Diana L. Eck is a thorough analysis of the increasing religious differences in the American society. Diana L. Eck is a professor of Comparative Religion and Indian Studies, and is the director of the Pluralism Project at the Harvard University. Eck has already written numerous books and studies, which focus primarily on the topic of religious pluralism in the American society. In her article, Eck tells us of the increasing number of people with diverse religions in the contemporary American society, and that these religious differences can be directly attributed to the approval and legalization of the Immigration Act of 1965. Through the Immigration Act of 1965, people from various nations, particularly in the Asian and Middle Eastern regions, have migrated into the US. With the influx of immigration in the United States, various cultures, traditions, and beliefs were brought along with the immigrants, and caused the diversification of cultures, traditions, and religions in the new American society.
