Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that, following the horror of the catastrophe and carnage of September 11, 2001, if there was ever any doubt that America's priorities needed to be changed, that doubt was now removed. The writer relates that America's leaders would begin to examine the nation's vulnerabilities, among the most glaring of which was the porousness of its borders - the vast influx of Mexican nationals across America's southwestern frontier. The writer notes that the flood of Mexicans across the United States border, though the result primarily of economic factors, has powerful implications for America's security. The writer points out that a serious analysis of the aims of America's national security strategy might look at whether illegal aliens truly present the terrorism problem that has been attributed to them. The writer concludes that while there may be real and significant reason to contain or eliminate illegal immigration from Mexico, and to seal the Southwestern border of the United States, government action does not seem to bear out the sense of urgency inherent in its rhetoric.
From the Paper
"The Immigration and Naturalization Service was already putting operation plans that would treat alien groups as potential subversives, arrogating to itself extraordinary, seemingly extra-legal powers in the name of guarding against potential national security threats. The fear of alien incursion to which these contingencies react is based on a still larger problem, of which Mexico and other developing nations appear to partake. It is a similar to the problems that pervade much of the Muslim world, as well, and give rise to the feelings of hopelessness, despair, and frustration, that turn so many into terrorists."
"Globalization has led to a worldwide race for control of resources, both human and natural. The populations of developing nations, like Mexico, feel themselves more exploited than ever by the multinational corporations operating out of technologically-advanced nations like the United States."

Abstract
This paper describes the increased security at the Canada-U.S. border following 9/11 and discusses the challenges facing Canadian firms exporting to the U.S. The paper presents alternative options for Canadian companies. The paper states that, despite these alternatives, many Canadian companies chose to continue their profitable relationship with the U.S. and, instead, focus on solving border issues through effective management.
From the Paper
"Canadian managers are faced with a number of international environments during the normal course of foreign business. These can include differences in language and culture, and differences in units of measurement. In an international environment, financial concerns and currency are also often apparent, as are concerns over differences in laws. However, perhaps the most important of these international environments focuses around trade agreements, sanctions, and barriers, and concerns over national security. In trade between the U.S. and Canada in the post-9/11 world, Canadian managers are faced with the problems of ensuring that trade flows freely within the context of increased American border security after September 11th."

Abstract
This paper examines the problem of growing illegal immigration in the U.S.A, and looks at whether the illegal immigrants contribute to American society and economy. The paper explains that the real solutions to help control the flow of immigrants coming into the United States of America are the Real ID Act and Guest Worker Program which would provide a temporary status to foreigners in order for them to legally work in the United States, allowing them to come in legally, work
a certain amount of time and then go back to their country. The writer notes that the fence is useless because more and more illegal immigrants are coming into the country even with the border fence. The writer doesn't believe illegal immigrants really affect the jobs of Americans; they do the jobs no one wants, and in that way help the U.S economy, but believes that coming illegally into a country is a crime and it should not be tolerated.
From the Paper
"In March 2005, more than thirty five million immigrants lived on the American soil, legal and illegal. This number represents about 12 percent of the United States' total population and Mexico accounts for about eleven million of them. The states with the highest number of illegal immigrants are California, New York, Texas, Florida, New Jersey and Illinois (Center for Immigration Studies 1, 6, 8). The estimated number of illegal immigrants is between ten million people, and one-thousand-four-hundred arrive daily. According to Peter Katel, a CQ researcher staff member and former writer for Newsweek and Time magazines, it is estimated that 96 percent of the illegal men are employed, which represents four and a half million men and 5 percent or the nation's total workers (Online)."

From the Paper
"Maria Rosa Garcia-Acevedo, in an article titled "Politics Across Borders: Mexico's Policies Toward Mexicans in the United States" makes several important points regarding the relationships between Mexican government policies and the interactions between Mexico and the U.S." Specifically, Garcia-Acevedo suggests that it is vital to recognize that the so-called Mexican diaspora which has resulted in the presence of millions of Mexicans legally and illegally in the U S has resulted in a necessary and vital influx of some U S billion..."

Canada and The United States, 2002.
A comparison of the histories and cultures of these two North American countries.

»

Abstract
Canada and the United States have followed cultural paths that have sometimes intersected but which have remained separate on account of historical, philosophical, geo-political and economic differences which have become cultural and emotive, over time. The development of two cultures within a single continent and sharing a very long border indeed, points to the importance of exploring past distinctions, some of which are apt to continue having their bearing upon the future. As the concluding sections of this paper explain, Canadian distinctiveness is in large part carried on in a comparative way, in relation to a much stronger nation which is perceived as an external and sometimes threatening power.

Abstract
This paper examines the U.S. government's focus on immigration since September 11th. It explains how the U.S government attempts to discover the most effective approach to continue to allow immigrants into the nation, while at the same time prevent another terrorist attack on American soil. The writer discusses the two forms of immigration into the United States - permanent and temporary. The writer further discusses the 'Patriot Act' and its implications. In addition, the writer looks at how technology would be added to bolster the strength of screening techniques at American borders and allow for legal immigrants to enter the country, while at the same time prevent illegals and terrorists from using the borders as their gateway to the country.
From the Paper
"The United States has traditionally been known as a country that accepts immigrants and values their diversity within society. The events of September 11th, however, made lawmakers, political entities and the public reconsider their view of immigration. This is because 12 of the 19 high-jackers in the September 11th attacks were all in the country legally with either tourist or student visas (Ruiz sec. 1). Three of those terrorists had held legal visas which had expired, but no action was ever taken to force them to leave the United States at that time. Alexia Elejalde-Ruiz contends that because the status of these individuals through immigration is public knowledge, now there are millions of Americans that believe that if the immigration policies had been different, there would have been no 9-11 attacks (sec. 1)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the immigration policies of the United States. It particularly focuses on policies regarding llegal immigrants and President George Bush's approach to this issue. The paper also describes and discusses the arguments against Bush's proposals and the reasons why there is opposition to his plans. The paper focuses primarily on his address of the issues of immigrants' social responsibility and illegal border crossings.
From the Paper
"The two most significant policies associated with immigration in the United States reflect concerns for illegal aliens. The first concern is that illegal residents in the country are not subjected to the same social responsibilities as legal citizens. President Bush has, therefore, provided a proposal that will address the issue. The second concern exists with the issue of illegal border crossings. A new policy has already been enacted that provides 6,000 National Guard troops to assist with border related issues. While the debate over immigration continues in the nation, these two issues are beginning to establish new policies and procedures for the United States."

Economics and Border Security, 2008.
This paper explores border security and its economic and safety implications.

Abstract
The paper discusses how border security has been an issue for many countries for some time, from a security and economic perspective. The paper discusses the ramifications of border control for the country being invaded and for the country losing the people. The paper looks at the opening of borders to trade and the U.S., Canada and Mexico's NAFTA agreement that has become for many the symbol of globalization.
From the Paper
"The prevailing attitudes toward immigration and border security were seen as being in conflict with aspects of American economic policy in the era of increased globalization. Critics often see globalization as something that happens to other parts of the world while the governing elites in America benefit. Those who see America as harmed in any way usually do so in terms of American workers thrown out of work because of factories moving to Mexico or China. There are other ways in which Americans are affected by globalization, however, among them when "formerly tightly knit neighborhoods absorb new waves of immigration and the job market changes, to a certain degree prompted by plant closings in favor of cheap labor overseas" (Mittelman, 2002, p. 5)."

Abstract
The paper discusses how border security is becoming a major issue in the post-9-11 world. The paper relates that the problem was seen first in economic and social terms, then as a law enforcement matter and now as a national security issue. The paper discusses how while this may have made the nation more serious about controlling the flow of illegal immigration, it has not immediately suggested how to accomplish this difficult task. The paper examines the various means that are being recommended and tried; increasing the number of border guards, building a fence, enhancing ID cards and using facial recognition software.

Economic Security
Immigration and Crime
The Immigration Debate
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The immigration debate has been ongoing for many years, with an effort to determine the degree to which legal immigration will be supported and illegal immigration will be tolerated. The United States has two major borders, the longest with Canada (not generally seen as an issue) and a shorter one with Mexico (considered a major problem and at times a major threat as thousands of illegal immigrants cross each year seeking economic benefits in the U.S.) For decades, the border has been relatively porous in spite of the many people who have raised the issue and who see illegal immigration as a major economic threat."

Abstract
This paper examines why there is general agreement around the world that the United Nations Security Council is in thorough need of reform, for it has failed many times to meet its responsibility to prevent regional conflicts. The paper addresses this problem by establishing that these failures have been due primarily to fundamental structural and procedural flaws in the Security Council's composition and methods of debate.
From the Paper
The United Nations Security Council: Issues of Reform Part A Introduction There is general agreement around the world that the United Nations Security Council is in thorough need of reform, for it has failed many times to meet its responsibility to prevent regional conflicts. I propose to address this problem by establishing that these failures have been due primarily to fundamental structural and procedural flaws in the Security Council's composition and methods of debate. In the process, I would emphasize that the Council's lack of formal authority to enforce its decisions is another inherent flaw, which compounds its structural and procedural flaws."

Collective Security and the United Nations, 2005.
An analysis of evolving notions of collective security and UN peacekeeping operations.

Abstract
The notion of collective security has evolved from a simple system of mutual protection for nation states, to a comprehensive understanding that all people deserve to have their fundamental human rights upheld. This paper discusses collective security: What the term means and how it has been implemented with specific examples from United Nations peacekeeping operations, highlighting the successes and failures of UN collective security in the twentieth century.
From the Paper
"A sizeable US peace enforcement mission took control from the UN and had some initial success but the force was reduced and handed back to the UN after which the situation got out of hand. The UN forces in Mogadishu were unable to carry out their mandate effectively and found themselves in a state of urban warfare rather than peacekeeping, as their attempt to establish democracy undermined the warlords' goals. Essentially, peacekeeping forces were inserted into a society where there was no peace to keep. Peace enforcers with military might to show, followed at a later stage by peacekeepers accompanied by a civilian administration and police force, would likely have met with more success in this situation."

Abstract
This paper explains that the close ties between the United States and Great Britain are deeply rooted in common language as well as a long-running and deeply connected historical base of strongly tied economic as well as militaristic cooperation that has spanned since the era of World War II. The author points out that the United Kingdom is the United States' largest customer and the United States is the country that invests the largest amount, each year, in the United Kingdom. The paper relates that the commonly held values of democracy and the inherently held beliefs in the freedom of speech, human rights and a similar legal system are the ties that bind the two countries inevitably together.

From the Paper
"The United States was once under British rule and in fact the American Revolution was fought for the purpose of removing the U.S. Colonies from the rule of the British. The American Revolution was fought and independence was won establishing America as an independent and separate nation from Great Britain but only after a grueling war. Great Britain was determined to keep the Colonies under British rule and after an attack on Charleston and lives having been lost the colonists stated their intentions in a document entitled "Declaration of the Causes and Necessities to Take up Arms" and the action to break away from what most considered to be their mother country began. It has been stated in history that most of the colonists identified with the British and that many of the colonists considered themselves to be Britons."

Abstract
This paper explores the relationship between globalization and security using the state and the individual as units of analysis. It argues that globalization has varying consequences on different actors. The paper challenges the assumption that globalization has a direct impact on state security. It shows that global processes challenge state security in an indirect manner but have direct effects on human security.

Appendix
From the Paper
"Globalization can be seen both as a historical project and as a process that affects social relations of peoples, groups and states.(Bello, 1998) It is conceived as a historical conjuncture of the modernist project (McMichael 1996) that promotes the ideological framework of neoliberalism (Kinvall 2002: 5-6). The principles of free market economics constitute the policy package called the Washington Consensus - trade liberalization, financial deregulation, privatization, and inflation and currency exchange stability policies - which became the cornerstone of structural adjustment policies (SAPs) implemented in many economies. While Latin America and Africa have severely suffered from neoliberal globalization, Asia stands as an exceptional case of successful integration in the global economy (Dittmer 2002). Asia Pacific projected itself to the world as the most dynamic region characterized by growth with equity: rapid and sustained economic growth, equitable distribution of incomes, and dramatic improvements in human welfare (Rigg 2003: Table 1.3: 10; World Bank 1993)."
