Abstract
This paper argues that Poland's union with Lithuania and the Jagiellonian dynasty marked the beginning of the Golden Age of Poland. All aspects of the union and the dynasty are included.

Abstract
The paper explains how, after the third partition of Poland in 1795, the Poles needed a fearless leader, who was powerful enough to rise up and take back Poland and regain Polish independence. The paper discusses the roles of Prince Adam Czartoryski and Alexander and how the Poles put their fate in the hands of Napoleon Bonaparte I of France. The paper shows how the mistake of the Polish people was not that they orginally supported Napoleon but that they continued to support Napoleon throughout all the disappointments and casualties.

From the Paper
"In the year 1795, during the American and French Revolutions, the kingdom known as Poland was wiped off the map after the Third Partition. The territory once known as Poland was then divided amongst the Russians, the Prussians, and the Austrians. After the Third Partition the Polish population didn't know how to function. They became a Nationality that had no state in which to claim their own. They lost their sense of self, and worthiness within society. Quickly the Polish elite known as the Szlachta scrambled for a way in which they could regain their State. The term now referred to as the Polish Question came to be in which they asked whether Poland will regain Independence and if so how? The Poles needed a fearless leader, one who was powerful enough to rise up and take back Poland and Polish Independence."

Abstract
This paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of forming an economic union, and possibly a monetary union to which members could, subject to conditions, apply to join. Factors such as possible membership, timetable, trade and investment effects, convergence of economies, economic and social consequences and administrative structure are covered briefly, yet concisely. The experiences of the European Union/Monetary Union are used as support for the arguments which are presented in the paper.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"A vital question for the triumph of an economic union is whether the economic union placed by an autonomous, supranational central bank in addition to fiscal (and other) procedures managed by a national government is helpful not only to price-steadiness but also towards economic development. This concern related to an economic union stems mainly from the commencement of the euro during 1999. Since the Euro inception, there has been a constant flow of disapproval concerning the EU'S system for economic union and harmonization. The Stability and Growth Pact (SGP) - perhaps, the most well-known aspects of union -- has been constantly criticized by economists as an unimagined, dull and eventually counter-productive procedure that encourages pro-cyclic fiscal procedures, slows down economic revival and harms the durable growth prospective of the EU financial system. In addition, accusation has also been cited, quite frequently, against the incapability of the policy structure to provide a logical policy blend, as well as, laments the deficient of suppleness in policy management (Fitoussi and Creel, 2002)."

Abstract
The paper relates that there is presently a great deal of concern over the feasibility of having a high-speed rail link connecting Pearson Airport to Union Station. The paper reveals that as it stands, many people (especially local residents) feel that the number of individuals who will use the proposed rail does not justify the costs and the massive upheaval it will inflict upon the local communities' courtesy construction (Weston Community Coalition, 2008). The paper explains that the provincial government's current position vis-a-vis the proposed development of a high-speed rail link between Pearson Airport and Union Station is that a non-stop rail connection between Pearson and downtown Toronto (Union Station) is entirely desirable.

Abstract
The paper discusses an intergovernmental organization (IGO) of interest that is the African Union (AU). The paper relates that the organization is a pan-African organization aimed to "propel a united continent towards peace and prosperity" ("Profile: African Union") and the union also aims to support development, get rid of poverty and bring Africa as a player into the global economy. The paper discusses how the AU believes that conflicts have to be settled before prosperity is achieved, and this is reflected in its Peace and Security Council. The paper mentions that the council can intervene in conflicts and deploy military forces in various situations, including genocide and humanity crimes.

Abstract
The paper asserts that the European Union (EU) represents one of the most remarkable economic and political experiments of our time. The paper discusses how over the span of a half-century since the foundation of the EU in the form of the European Coal and Steel Community in 1952, this unified bloc of European nation-states gradually harmonized first their trade, then their financial markets, and finally their political structures into the amorphous entity that is the European Union today. The paper argues that while this act of economic and political harmonization is nothing short of miraculous, there are numerous critics of the EU - both in Europe and without - who contend that the European Union is not a unified political entity but a transnational association comprised of disparate and quarrelsome parts that are only superficially stitched together into one body.

Abstract
This paper explains that the downfall of the Soviet Union was, in part, due to the labor policies such as the promise of work, the compulsory labor policies and the promise of equal pay to many people regardless of their work. The author points out these labor policies created an apathetic attitude about productivity and success that led to an inability to stir the nation into growth, which was the cause of the ultimate downfall of the Soviet Union. The paper contends that, as the nation rebuilds, it is important that it allows a policy of free market competitiveness.

From the Paper
"The Red Army of Workers simulated what Americans know as "Unions". The difference was that the Red Army of Workers was actually controlled by the government and given freedoms that the government felt were allowable. This again wiped out any hope for motivation or drive and those who belonged simply went through the paces. The government allowed the workers to be given the right to participate in the government structure and to practice religion but later years removed such rights. The laboring masses were then nothing but workhorses who went each day, performed their duties, and did not have anything to wish for or hope for."

Abstract
This paper discusses the history of the European Union and then relates that history to the issues that the union contends with today. Issues such as the constitution, expansion of the union, and the economic concerns of the poorer countries are examples of these problems. The paper further suggests that solutions to these issues may be found in history.

From the Paper
"In 1464 there was a proposal made to create the first European Union of Christian states. While the original plan did not come to pass, the concept of creating a unified Europe was never truly lost by the European people ("History"). Ideas such as "the United States of Europe", the "League of 18 Sovereign States", and the "Federation of European Republics" all were suggested, and rejected, as methods of creating a nation of European countries ("History"). It was not until 1943 that an actual union was seriously considered under the principles set forth by German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop. Ribbentrop proposed that European countries come together to create, "...a single currency, a central bank in Berlin, a regional principle, a labour policy and economic and trading agreements..." ("History"). "
