American Foreign Policy after World War II
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report
discusses how the world political scene evolved in terms of
American globalist goals and objectives. As World War II came to
a conclusion, it was clear that alliances made in the time of war
would have little likely of surviving the stress of peace. For
those who formed their attitudes in the midst of the relatively
simplistic thinking of West equals good and East equals bad, or
Communism is evil and all people “deserve” capitalism,” the
change in ideologies represented by globalization and
international partnerships have been staggering. Bibliography
lists 4 sources.

Boris Yeltsin -- A Combination of Mother Russia and Modern
Russia
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses Russia’s first elected
president, Boris Yeltsin. Was he a an old-style Russian oligarch
determined to take his rightful place in the leadership of his
country? Or can he be better-defined as a leader firmly in touch
with the needs and desires of the “real” Russians -- the people
once described as the “proletariat.” He has been alternately
adored and vilified, praised and blamed for the “new” Russia.
But it should not be forgotten he certainly deserves credit for
truly monumental achievements. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Budgetary Challenges and the European Union of the Future
[ send me this paper ]
This
16 page report discusses a scenario in which the current members
of the EU agree that Estonia, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary and
Slovenia should be allowed to join the community by 2010.
However, in this fictional scenario, their accession was only
agreed after discussions over the economics of the “community”
were addressed. The European nations which were the most
decidedly “mainstream” in terms of their European identity --
Germany, France, Italy, et al -- found themselves facing
questions regarding how legitimately European one should consider
nations such as Estonia, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary and
Slovenia. Benefits, challenges, and potential problems are
addressed. Bibliography lists 13 sources.

Business Effect of Russia's Lack of Infrastructure
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper examining the lack of information management infrastructure as a factor contributing to the vastly uneven growth of the economy before its financial collapse in 1998. Many individual businesses were well equipped with the technological standards of business today, but they were concentrated in only a few major industries. All other segments of the economy did not fully share that good fortune—not only was infrastructure lacking in many areas but where it did exist there often were no qualified technical personnel to manage them. Observers believe that Russia will fare much better when the economy grows again. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
