Abstract
This paper begins by examining the broad issue of trade that affects the United States and Japan today. The paper then takes a look at the cultural and historical factors that have led to Japanese dominance in business. Finally, the paper considers how the Japanese gains in automobile market share have affected the United States and the world economy, as well as the problems and the opportunities facing business in an international setting given these circumstances.
From the Paper
"The United States and Japan have an interesting relationship. It was not so long ago that Japan was the sworn enemy of the United States, intent on the downfall of the United States. It was Japan that destroyed Pearl Harbor, dragging the United States into World War II. The fighting in Europe was intense, but fighting in the Pacific was more arduous, filled with more danger, against an enemy whose cruelty seemed to know no bounds. Stories of the war that fill high school history textbooks include the Japanese basically going on suicide, or Kamikaze missions to destroy U.S. naval power. The books tell a story of soldiers who buried POW's in the sand up to their necks, propped the POW's mouths open with sticks, and allowed local ants and other insects to feed on the soft tissue of the POW's mouths and throats. In response to this threat, the United States dropped nuclear weapons on two of Japan's cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It was after the Japanese surrender that the relationship between the two countries became really interesting."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in September 1944, the United States Supreme Court ruled in the case of "Korematsu v. United States" (1944) by a 6-3 vote, to uphold Korematsu's conviction for violating the order to evacuate the West Coast. The author points out that the majority ruling was written by Hugo Black, Felix Frankfurter wrote a concurring opinion and dissenting opinions were written by Robert Jackson, Owen Roberts, and Frank Murphy. The paper stresses that, in this case, the Court placed a heavy burden on anyone trying to defend racial discrimination even though the Court allowed such discrimination against Fred Korematsu. The author argues that, nonetheless, the Court should have protected Korematsu's constitutional rights.
From the Paper
"Fred Korematsu was an American citizen of Japanese ancestry and lived in the San Francisco Bay area. He had a good job and a steady girlfriend, and he decided not to obey the relocation order. He went so far as to have plastic surgery performed on his face, and he told strangers that he was of Mexican descent, or Spanish-Hawaiian. This was not an effective ploy, though, and Korematsu was arrested in May 1942 for failing to comply with the evacuation order."

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
The paper looks at the history of Japan after WWI. The events described are the conquering and occupation of Manchuria in China, the Panay Incident, the actions taken by the US towards Japan and the actions taken by Japan after WWI. The paper also looks at the Japanese government's instability during that period. The paper concludes that the actions taken by the Japanese in World War II were a direct result of the relationship that had developed between the United States and Japan between World War I and World War II.
From the Paper
"The period between World War I and World War II was a tumultuous time for the world. From the focus of most of the civilized world, the majority of the trouble was arising from Europe. There were two countries that were threatening the free world with their oppressive ideals, and hand banded together for their mutual benefit. With Hitler heading the Nazis in Germany, and Mussolini heading the Fascists in Italy, the future of Europe was hanging in the balance. These dilemmas, however, were not the only ones the world would have to deal with. In the Pacific, an alien and seemingly remote country, that until just under a century ago had been totally un-industrialized, was threatening its neighboring Asian countries. Using their powers of adaptation and an indomitable spirit, they had forced themselves into being one of the most powerful nations in the world. The Japanese had seen what the world had to offer, and had immersed themselves into becoming a force in the world instead of becoming a province of another world power. The nation they would become, in accordance to their method of borrowing outside concepts and re-conceiving them with a distinct Japanese identity attached, was heavily dependent on the interactions that they would experience with other nations. The actions taken by the Japanese in World War II were a direct result of the relationship that had developed between the United States and Japan between World War I and World War II. The major events the shaped this relationship were the incidents occurring in China, instabilities within the Japanese government, and the actions taken by the United States towards Japan."

Abstract
The paper discusses the tensions that existed between the United States and France after World War II. The paper explains how misunderstandings contributed to the tension and includes the history of alliances between the two countries. The paper further explains how conditions in post war France were a breeding ground for discontent.
From the Paper
"The relationship between France and the United States has historically been marked by tension and misunderstanding. This is all the more remarkable given the long history of alliance between the two nations and their shared passion for liberty and all its trappings. Much of the modern tension between the two nations can be attributed to the traumatic events of World War II. Proud France was conquered and occupied by Nazi Germany and many French people collaborated with the Nazi regime."

From the Paper
"Thus, by 1947, the idea to contain communism was converted into a national philosophy that originated through the idea supported in the notions of the Truman Doctrine. Both the Soviet Union and the United States felt they had to protect themselves as the paranoia intensified and an all out clandestine war was brewing. In Europe the clandestine war between the philosophies of democracy and communism led to the eventual division between the Eastern European Communist Bloc States and the Western European democratic nations that would eventually become the NATO nations. The division was made into a physical divide when the Russians and East Germans began to isolate the city of Berlin through a fence that eventually became the foundation of the Berlin Wall. This division and the opposition of the two philosophies came full circle and the Cold War was on."

Abstract
World War II proved to be a turning point in the world's economies. While most of the world had suffered from a devastating depression in the late 1920's and 1930's, World War II proved such an impetus as to pull the world out of the soup lines and on to the battlefields. The paper shows that after the war, the United States did not need to make the long, painful adjustment from rations to recovery; this nation actually flourished during the war and with virtually no damage to the country's infrastructure, was in an ideal position to become the world's most successful post-war economy. The paper shows that, in contrast, the Soviet domination and forced Stalinist collectivization of Warsaw Pact countries created an atmosphere of stagnation and repression, the most horrifying example being Albania. This paper compares the best and worst postwar economies, those of the United States and Albania.
From the Paper
"While the United States was clearly the best example of a booming postwar economy, having achieved unparalleled economic success which has led to the nation's current dominance as the sole superpower and largest economic power, the worst postwar economic development was perhaps suffered by Albania. During the course of World War II, the small Balkan nation had transformed from a fascist Italian possession on the other side of the Adriatic Sea to a government championing Communist ideals."

Abstract
This paper discusses the United Nation's need to change or risk being a useless organization. It looks at how the basic philosophy of the United Nations is anti-American and how the United Nations is biased toward the countries that are anti-communist. In addition, the link between rogue states, terrorism, and terrorist leaders with the United Nations is discussed, showing that the United Nations supports terrorists in some ways. The fact that the United Nations has failed to prevent and has provoked more than one hundred wars throughout the world since its inception is also shown in the report. This report also looks at the United Nations charter and how it misleads one to believe that it is advocating peace when, in fact, it is a blueprint for war. A final subject examined by this report is the different actions that can be taken to improve the idea of the United Nations, as well as the organization as a whole.
The UN Was Founded by Communists
The UN?s Basic Anti-American Philosophy
All General Secretaries of the UN Have Been Socialist One-Worlders
The United Nations Supports Terrorists
The United Nations Does Not Settle Disputes
The United Nations is Really a War Organization
Proposal
Changing from the Charter Up
Reforming the Security Council
Noble Efforts, Futile Actions
A United Nations to Serve ALL not ONE
End Terrorist Ties
From the Paper
"Here is a trivia question. Are the following events promoting peace and freedom? The year is 1961 in Belgium?s former colony in Africa known as the Belgian Congo. Belgium had granted independence to its colony. A Moscow-trained communist named Patrice Lumumba Gained control of the newly formed government. Lumumba and his communist allies immediately began a brutal consolidation of power. In response, Moise Tshombe, the pro-Western, anti-communist black leader of the Congo?s province of Katanga, seceded and declared his region an independent nation."

Abstract
This paper looks at the history of U.S. military engagement since the end of WWII, with particular emphasis on the Persian Gulf War of 1990. It points out that Congress has not formally declared war since December 11, 1941, against Germany and that, during the course of the last several decades in United States history, the citizens of the U.S. have been continually forced into war without a formal declaration of war supported by the U.S. Congress. The paper then discusses the War Powers Act, which has made it possible for Congress to avoid making actual declarations of war while still permitting major military engagements such as the Persian Gulf War.
From the Paper
"Congress has not formally declared war since December 11, 1941 against Germany in response to a formal Declaration of War by Germany against the U.S. (Paul, 2002). When Congress does formally declare war, a task that requires small effort on the part of representatives, an enemy is clearly defined and the task at hand is readily made clear. A clear cut victory is also expected as was the case of the Declaration of war against Germany and Japan. During the course of the last several decades in United States history, the citizens of the U.S. have been continually forced into war without a formal declaration of war supported by the U.S. Congress. The most recent example prior to 2003 of this was the war started in the Persian Gulf. Such action taken by the president of the U.S. exemplifies the pomposity and overbearing authority the president has placed upon himself over the citizens of this country."

Abstract
This paper provides an inquiry into the unique United Nations? intervention in Haiti. After a brief introduction to Haiti?s history and violent politics the paper focuses on the events leading up to the United Nations? intervention. The events comprising of the UN-monitored elections in 1990 leading to the installation of Jean- Bertrand Aristide as President, his overthrow and exile in a military coup, economic sanctions and naval blockade of Haiti and finally approval of the UN Security Council, for the first time, for forcible intervention to change the Government is briefly discussed. The paper focuses, in particular, on the decision making process in the United Nations Security Council. The lessons learned from the Haiti action are analyzed and conclusions are drawn regarding pointers to the future role of the UN in Peacekeeping and Nation Building.
Questions Discussed in the Paper:
What prompted the United Nations Security Council to sanction force for the restoration of democracy?
Was international peace and security so threatened by Haiti?s military government that the United Nations felt compelled to intervene?
Did the United Nations exceed its mandate?
Has democracy become such a widely accepted international norm that the United Nations has a right to restore it when a legally elected regime is forcibly overthrown?
If so, why only Haiti?
Did the United Nations allow the USA to use the Security Council to pursue its own regional purposes?
What role did the regional and other powers play in the build up to the intervention?
Has the concept of sovereignty been eroded by the actions of the UN Security Council in the 90s?
What are the consequences and lessons learned from the UN intervention in Haiti?
Does the United Nations have the wherewithal and resolve to sustain such interventions on a regular basis?
From the Paper
"Aristide ,who was attempting many revolutionary reforms which alienated the elite, was overthrown in a military coup d?etat in September 1991. While Aristide went into exile, members of his movement were subjected to executions, oppression and grave violations of human rights. The Organisation of American States imposed a trade embargo on Haiti. By February 1992 about sixteen thousand refugees fleeing Haiti had already arrived in Florida. In 1992 an OAS mediated accord to create a government of consensus failed. Meanwhile the US President signed an order stating that all boat people attempting to enter USA from Haiti would be sent back without determining whether they had legitimate claims for asylum."
