Abstract
This paper reviews the history and development of a unified Europe. The paper looks at a number of changes that happened in Europe between 1945-1991. Particular interest is given to the European Community and how it eventually led to the European Union due to higher and higher levels of co-operation.
From the Paper
"The continent known as Europe has a long and complicated history. Much of that history has involved conflicts of various types between various countries. Because European countries tended to fight with each other there was no concept of a unified Europe before 1945. The concept of a unified Europe did not appear suddenly. Instead the concept of a unified Europe was the result of a number of economic, social and political trends that slowly developed from 1945 to 1991 and are still developing today. However, not all of these trends developed at the same rate."

Abstract
The paper is a historical examination into the German national movement that began after the Napoleonic Wars in Europe. The desire for unity among the German states, mainly between Prussia and Austria, would eventually be a main reason for World War I and World War II. This in the desire to see a Greater Germany exist as the competing power in Europe by the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as an opposition to English, French and Russian domination of the continent. The paper is divided up into three main parts. The first section gives a history of the Napoleonic Wars and the growing concept of nationalism in the German states under Napoleon. It was this hope for unity that helped push the French back and convince the world that German unity was in the best interest as a buffer to further French aggression. The second part of the paper deals with the unification of the German states and the problems and progress that existed from the time of 1815-1870. The growing industrial movement is heavily discussed as being the backbone to the new German Confederation of states. The rivalry that existed between Austria and Prussia, which eventually splintered Austria from the Confederation, is also discussed and how the German nation became stronger due to a more powerful Prussian influence. A complete investigation into German culture, economics and military system of the 19th century is given in this section in a very detailed manner. Repeated sources from English observers and German politicians give an insight into how Germany began to grow as a European power during the middle 19th century. A huge part of this section deals with the German economy and their desire to match England in terms of economic dominance of Europe. The German economic system is examined, run by a harsh yet amazingly efficient centralized government that maximizes output and production from its workers. Finally, the last section deals with the establishment of the German Empire, and how nationalism completely took over Germany as the predominant unifying factor of the German people. The Franco-Prussian War and the subsequent territorial grabs by Otto Von Bismarck and Kaiser Wilhelm The First are discussed, right up until the outbreak of World War I where Germany has officially taken its place as the predominant military and economic power on the continent.
From the Paper
"Throughout the history of Europe, there have been numerous incidents in which a country will affect the entirety of the continent through political, economic or cultural means. These influences upon fellow European countries usually tended to be permanent changes, whether it was the religious division that came upon The Protestant split or The French Revolution's impact on neighboring countries. However, the one event that changed the course of European history and would eventually impact every European nation was the unification of the Germany city-states into a conglomerated country in 1815. Through this development of a united Germany at the Congress of Vienna, Europe would be forever changed and would be forced to compete with Germanic ideals that the new nation would sponsor as it began to build up a nationalistic Germany. What the European powers saw as a means of ending local rivalries and improving economic trade and prosperity to the former states of the Holy Roman Empire, the unification of the German people would taint any optimistic expectations of peaceful coexistence in Europe for the latter half of the 19th century and would take on much more dangerous and bloody connotations as the 20th century unfolded. The united country of Germany, through a series of beliefs and practices that each German citizen began to trust while the country was building itself in the 19th century, would become one of the most dominant and influential nations in European history. These principles were the strong nationalistic feelings that came from the pride and love of what it was to be German, the growing industrial practices that began to be developed in German economic production, and the emphasis on military dignity and strength of the army, coupled with the German tendency to give powerful prominence to German military leaders, would become grounds for building a nation that would tower over the European political environment for years."

Inception Phase
Elaboration Phase
Construction Phase
Transition Phase
Iterations
Workflows
From the Paper
"The transition phase may undergo several iterations that may include enhancements of the product based on users' feedbacks and correction of bugs and errors. This typically happens after beta tests. This phase generally comes down to the goal of ensuring that the software product meets the requirements of the users and is of good quality. Usually, this phase ends with a postmortem that documents learning for future reference within the lifecycle of the product (Meloche, 2002)."

Abstract
This paper introduces the concept of Grand Unified Theory--or GUT--the major accomplishments of the theory to date, as well as the most promising directions for the future. Foremost among these is the emergence of string theory or superstring theory in physics: it may provide the tools necessary to ultimately link the major branches of physics under the overarching cosmological model of the universe.

Abstract
The Palestinian-Israeli conflict has always been of major concern to Europe because of the importance of this festering issue and because of Europe?s proximity to the Middle East. Prior to 1973, the E.U. member countries had differing policies, with the Gaullist France displaying a pro-Arab bias and countries like Germany and Netherlands having very close relations with Israel. Since that time and especially since the Oslo accord of 1993, the European Union has tried to follow a unified and consistent policy with regard to the Middle East conflict. This paper reviews the background and general development of the policy, the problems that the policy has faced and its current status. The paper also includes a general assessment of the E.U.?s Middle East policy (its achievements and failures), as well as a comparison of the policy with that of the United States?.
From the Paper
"Although the US and the EU are both joint partners and promoters of the recently released ?Road Map? for peace in the Middle East, their recent policies on the Middle East have been perceived as being different. This is mainly because of the light in which ?terrorism? is viewed by the United States after 9/11. While the EU, as part of its policy, condemns the suicide bombings and terror attacks by the Palestinians on Israeli citizens, it also calls on Israel to stop its extra-judicial killings, to lift the closures and restrictions imposed on the Palestinian people, to freeze settlement activities, and to withdraw its military from the Palestinian areas. On the other hand, president Bush and his administration consider the Israeli actions as justified self-defense (pre-emptive strikes) and the US President calls Sharon ?a man of peace.?"

The Rational Unified Process (RUP), 2005.
This paper discusses a new development process to build larger business applications called the rational unified process (RUP).

Abstract
This paper explains that the philosophy of RUP differs from that of the systems development life cycle (SDLC) in that it is architecture-based instead of process-based; RUP breaks the components of the systems development life cycle into phases, which may be subject to several iterations containing core workflows, which lead to an end milestone. The author points out that the basic structure of RUP is based on phases named inception, elaboration, construction and transition; these new sets of systems analysis are the workflows. The paper relates that one of the key advantages of the RUP system is that it allows larger systems to be broken down into components and then these components to be broken into hierarchies, which allows the developer to handle many unrelated architectural units rather than trying to integrate many unrelated components into a systematic waterfall-like system.

From the Paper
"Authors have found many grounds upon which to criticize RUP. RUP has been found to be lacking in several areas. Arguments found in Hesse (2001) contend that it does not contain a contingency for enterprise reuse management, requirements modeling, enterprise specific architecture, enterprise specific risk management, human resource management, system operations, and systems support. He has developed a system that extends RUP to include these issues called Enterprise Unified Process (EUP). The authors of EUP point out that these issues are concerns in the real world for corporations. No one would argue that these issues are indeed real issues for corporations. However, it could be argued that these areas are outside of the realm of the systems developer and would be better left to the experts in these fields. They should be considered by the design team and the proper entities consulted in these issues. However, by strict definition of the job description of the systems developer, they would fall outside of their prescribed area of expertise."

Grand Unified Theories, 1993.
Argues that the successful concept will cover outer and inner limits of the universe.

From the Paper
"This study will argue that a grand unified theory which is truly "grand" and "unified" will cover, theoretically, both the "outer" and "inner" limits of the universe. As we shall see, the most seriously considered grand unified theories do indeed cover both inner and outer limits.
Einstein worked on a Unified Field Theory for the last twenty-five or so years of his life. As Barnett writes, "Today the outer limits of man's knowledge are defined by Relativity, the inner limits by Quantum Theory. Relativity has shaped all our concepts of space, time, gravitation, and the realities that are too remote and too vast to be perceived. The Quantum Theory has shaped all our concepts of the atom, the basic units of matter and energy, and the realities that are too elusive and too small to be perceived" (1:107)."

Unified Approach in Sexual Orientation, 2005.

Abstract
Current researchers have approached the question of sexual preference and its causes from a biological as well as a psychological and sociological point of study. Both types of researchers would agree that the various areas of influence are not necessarily exclusive of one another, and that no single area dominates the decision as to what determines sexual orientation. The paper shows that some researchers have demonstrated a biologic or genetic component of human sexual orientation. Others dispute this claim, stating that sexuality is largely an environmentally-influenced preference. In conclusion, this paper argues that it is clearly necessary to approach the causes of sexual orientation from a point of view that includes both biologic and environmental factors.
From the Paper
"Blanchard and Klassen have hypothesized that the Y-linked minor histocompatiblity antigens, or H-Y antigens, are involved in sexual development. Their study shows that some mothers experience a progressive immunization to the antigen, and that this change may increase the effects of H-Y antibodies on the sexual differentiation of the brain in male children that are born later in the birth order within a family. According to the authors, this information is consistent with the fact that there is a correlation between sexual orientation in men and the number of older brothers they have. Each older brother increases the odds of homosexual preference by nearly 33% in the younger siblings."

Abstract
An analysis of Rome's success in unifying Italy during the 3rd and 4th centuries BC covering their relationships with the Latin league and surrounding tribes, wars with the Samnites and Phyrrus of Epirus and her use of treaties and colonies.
From the Paper
"The history of early Rome and its relations with, and eventual dominance of, the rest of Italy are shrouded in mystery. This is due to the lack of and contradictory nature of the primary sources and the unreliability of later writings. Thus we can see that the Greek Diodorus (writing in the first century A.D.) used a source that made no mention of the first Samnite War (343-341) of traditional Roman history. Roman compilers of their own history often heavily edited it with the benefit of hindsight to explain or excuse later events and to play down episodes that mighty Rome would rather forget. Livy, for example, has a Samnite envoy challenge the Romans to battle in 327 in order to decide which of the two peoples would rule Italy (Livy 8.23.10). In reality, this second Samnite war resulted from a minor border dispute between two central Italian states and the significance of any victory could not have been appreciated at the time. Rome's unifying of Italy arguably started with its relations with and manipulation of the Latin League from the fifth century onward. It was this league, rather than Rome herself, that was responsible for the first real consolidation of territorial gains."

Abstract
The following paper discusses the growing awareness among Europeans that only a unified Europe can successfully meet the challenges of the future. The writer argues that only a strong global community, consisting of the European Union, the United States, Russia, China and other major powers of the world, committed to a global goal of growing prosperity, will be able to build a more peaceful future for all mankind.
From the Paper
?For more than half a century the western, integrated part of Europe has lived in peace and freedom and has, along with North America and Japan, formed one of the three most prosperous areas of the world. Just over the past 10 years, construction of a political union among EU member states has made considerable progress and closer cooperation has been established over a whole array of policies ? from economic and social to security and defense. In 1952 six countries came together out of the rubble of World War II to pool their basic production in the European Coal and Steel Community. The goal then, as now, was to bind Europe so tightly together that another war \"becomes not merely unthinkable, but materially impossible,\" as founding father Robert Schuman put it.?

Abstract
Through a review of Rockwell A. Schnabel's and Francis X. Rocca's book about the future of the European Union, "The Next Superpower: The Rise of Europe and Its Challenges to the United States", this paper discusses the future of the European Union. The paper explains that Schnabel and Rocca consider the developing European political structure and the way that it will impact world affairs over the next several decades. The paper also points out that inherent in the title is the view that where the Soviet Union was once a superpower and while the United States remains one (and currently the only one), a unified Europe will constitute such an entity as well and is indeed well on the way to becoming just that.

Abstract
Since the end of World War II, Europe has experienced a strong development towards European integration. However, this development towards a unified Europe has not been without any conflicts and interruptions. The European Union with its common policies has been rather the result of a long, troublesome and complex procedure of integration. There is one view which reasons this is due to the fact that European integration only proceeds where and as far as it is in the interest of member state governments. This essay discusses this view by analyzing the most significant theories on European integration. Furthermore, the paper takes the Economic Monetary Union (EMU) as an example in order to show how the specific theories actually manifested themselves in practice.

From the Paper
"The plan for the implementation of the EMU was also the result of intergovernmental bargaining. In the Maastricht Treaty, all participating member state executives agreed on the implementation of the EMU. The idea of Genscher, the foreign minister of West Germany, that monetary union "should be fully institutionalised around a single currency and a European central bank" (Levitt, Lord, 2000:45) found agreement in the intergovernmental bargaining. Consequently, state-executives delegated their powers of monetary control to the supranational ECB. Hence, today's ECB with its independence and control of monetary policy is based on the unanimous agreement and interest of its member state governments."
