The cold war between US and USSR ended in 1991 after the disintegration of USSR. The world changed from a bipolar world to a unipolar world, and US became the only super power. Disintegration of Russia has given birth to several independent Central Asian States, still under the Russian influence but has the possibility of turning sides towards US. During the cold war, it was only the danger of mutually assured destruction through nuclear war between the two superpowers, however, the world today is perhaps a much lesser safe place due to the danger of nuclear proliferation, fear of total destruction through ...

The first article’s survey of the relevant SDP research finds that the potential for sports to positively affect development and peace is large. Nonetheless, the research also shows that there is a substantial likelihood ...

Conflict in Syria

The conflict in Syria pits two sides against each other. On the one hand, there is the group loyal to President Bashar al-Assad and on the other hand those who are against his rule.

The protests demanded the president’s resignation and by July 2011, the situation had escalated.

Introduction

History reveals that dynastic authoritarian governing had many challenges in most countries where it was exercised. Dynastic involves a succession of rulers from the same family lineage; a family maintains power all throughout through hereditary means. A country that had such ruling, for example, was ancient China in which there were various dynasties. China for a long period was faced with wars, bloodshed, and conflicts because of the dynastic ruling, people killed each other in order to succeed a power. The succession alternated from competent rulers to incompetent ones and vice versa, and the government was marred with corruption, discrimination, and dictatorial leadership. ...

“The Cask of Amontillado” is a story of revenge told in the first-person point of view. Montresor, the killer, narrates in detail the crime he committed fifty years ago against Fortunato for “insulting” him. It was apparent that Fortunato invested a great amount of time in plotting his revenge, but it was unclear why after fifty years, he was finally telling the story that no one ever found out. This is the first hint to the complexities of the character of Montresor which, as the story progresses, contradicted then interestingly intertwined with that of Fortunato’s that in the end it ...

John Lennon

John Lennon is one of few contemporary artists who only turned to consistent political activism only in the early 1970s after the break-up of The Beatles (Fisher & Flota 125). The enduring legacy of his work included the song “God”, wherein Lennon wrote the lyrics “the dream is over”, which meant that the dream of the gurus, the hippies, members of The Beatles band, or any other supposed savior had ended. The meaning of the term “dream” in the song refers to the belief in the value of countercultural protest for its own sake (Fisher & Flota 125). Lennon addressed political ...

Analysis of a World Text

What is the main theme of the play?
First performed in 411 B.C., Lysistrata has now achieved “a fairly permanent place in the modern theatre” (Robson 192), although in the past it was often censored for what Harsh calls its “low comedy” (292). The main character’s name – Lysistrata – is one that was given to girls in classical Athens, but, like most names, it has a meaning. It means “Dissolver of Armies” (Tritle 59) or “Disbander of Armies” (Henderson 35), and it seems fitting, therefore, that the prevailing critical consensus is that Lysistrata is about peace: Tritle even dubs it “ ...

Introduction

Introduction

After the World War II almost 60 years ago that led to the death of almost 50 million people it is very concerning that some countries have not yet decided to put their differences aside and form a peace treaty formally speaking. The period of WWII experienced a time when countries turned against each other engaging in bloody fights that led to many countries completely broken down with only a few countries standing tall after the war came to an end in 1945. After the end of this war several heads of states worked together and formed peace treaties to officially end ...

The European Union in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

- Introduction and Research Question
For decades, the Israelis and the Palestinians had remained at odds with one another because of the decades-old conflict on mutual recognition, territorial boundaries, and national identities that still remains unresolved despite various negotiations held for the resolution of the conflict.

Police Role and Functions

Nowadays, it is common to see drama and crime series on television featuring the function, roles and responsibilities of policemen each time a crime is reported. From responding to 911 calls to man-hunt operations and to cross-examination of evidences, these television series depict that policemen are the ones in charge in sustaining peace and order in the area. However, in some cases, policemen are seen as the ones disrupting peace as some would succumb to corruption by allowing law breakers and criminals break free from the police and even join the crimes themselves. While these incidents of crimes within the ...

Buddhism is a religion that emphasises on non-violence and peace. As it began to spread people of varied religions began to turn to Buddhism in a bid to find peace in the midst of a stressful spell. To the Buddhist the whole universe is connected whether we feel it or not as everything depends on another and nothing happens in isolation. The way the Buddhist sees the world can be seen through the opinion of Johan Galtung who stated that his peace theory was a precise process based on diversity in a mutually influential interaction.

Generally, many scholars have put forward different literatures on this topic of Democratic peace. The theory dates back the days of Immanuel Kant in his perpetual peace work.. From the earlier works, it is evident that democracies cannot go into war against each other though there may lack an empirical evidence on the future of the theory. The most influencing thing when predicting the future of the Democratic Peace theory is the behaviors of the different proponents of groups. According to Kant, the international peace is based on the interaction between the states and the Republican government as noted ...

Abstract

The Basilica of Our Lady of Peace of Yamoussoukro is one of these churches and gained both praise and scrutiny from its construction.

The journey between Arab and Israeli has been an eventful one and it will forever remain to be the burning issue at least for generations. Despite intermarriages and cohabitations between them, the two races have never read from the same script. The ongoing conflict between the Arabs and Israelis has deteriorated situation completely. The conflict can have its roots traced back to the late 19th century. By this particular time, national movements were witnessed, some of which included the Arab Nationalism and Zionism.

Both the geographic region known as such and the political standing of the expression have undergone changes over the course of time. The Palestine region, or a fraction of it, is also called ...

Introduction

At the heart of the Arab-Israeli conflict lies the disagreement on the land and boundary issues. The land dispute has defined and shaped the politics of the regions for ages. For many, individuals, the conflict is a century old problem; however, the course of the conflict runs way beyond the century. The onset of the conflict can be traced back to the 1250BC when the present Israel was conquered by the Israelites while it was called Canaan. From 961-922 BC the land remained under the leadership of King Solomon and the Jews before it spilt up into two kingdoms ( ...

- Introduction
Diplomacy, in the modern world, is the practice of countries dealing amicably with each other. It is the process by which countries conduct negotiations and come to agreements; during these talks, individuals often act on behalf of the state. There are a number of desires that shape the movement of diplomacy agreements, but Schroeder suggests that it is the mechanism of shared ambition - which acts like an invisible hand to make alliances and international relationships work. Imbalances of power are bad for peace. In today’s world, diplomacy is the conduction of international relations by heads ...

The Role of English Language in International Communication

The English language at present can be considered as a global language because of its widespread usage and influence over several regions of the world. Nowadays, the English language has been considered as a global lingua franca for peoples of the world with different native languages to communicate with one another using one language. Because of the rapid growth of globalization, especially with the advent of the Internet as a large scale means of telecommunications, the demand for a global lingua franca has never been this big; the English language plays a very important role in this regard. ...

The value of literature in human life cannot be overestimated. This kind of art is one of the most ancient and important for humankind. Though this type of art has a connection with such term as fiction, it still has quite a real basis. Literature has arisen much earlier than it was given a definition and typology. The man, who existed before the literature, had already used its main elements even earlier than ten thousand years ago, which played a very important role in the life of the whole humankind. Using the words that were written on stones, people ...

The End of US Isolationist Policy

Before the United States became one of the most influential countries in the globe, it has experienced many internal wars and ideological battles that have caused the country to go on a state of isolationism from the globe. They became scared of the possible return of the Europeans in their borders and made the country off-limits to anyone. But, upon the dawn of the late 1800s, some members of the government and citizens believe that it’s time to re-engage with the outside world and strengthen the country. How these wars and changes in political ideologies were influence the US ...

The vision of a united world has always been a dream to many, especially in the times of the two Great Wars. Peace, collective security and equal development for all had been the key objectives of world leaders in the establishment of an international organization that would embody these ideals. Each nation had attempted to make their own interpretation of this goal with several known regional organizations, but what had been the crowning glory was the creation of the United Nations after the Second World War. Since its establishment, the world had clear hopes with the UN as the body that ...

The Turkish and Greek Cypriots clash is noted to have started long before the current crisis in the governance of the two sub-countries. Danielidou and Horvath (2006) note that the current border problems are associated with the macabre that continued to inflict the countries long before the advent of the millennium. There are quite a number of factors that have been identified as the root cause of the many problems that continue to face the two countries. The problems witnessed in the two countries are way beyond the character of the modern world, and the assertion developed in this essay ...

The occupation of Antofagasta sparked the first actual military conflict in the War of the Pacific. Bolivia was in control of Antofagasta, and wanted to impose a tax hike on the citizens of the city (Sater, 1997). When it faced resistance, Bolivia confiscated property from a Chilean mining company in Antofagasta and decided to auction the property to raise revenue (Sater, 1997). In response, Chile sent a warship to Antofagasta and took control of the city of Antofagasta on the day Bolivia planned to sell off the property (Sater, 2007).
While occupying the city of Antofagasta, a Chilean military officer intercepted a letter ...

Abstract
America took the initiative to create the security mechanism to involve the majority of democratic countries and stabilize Europe, because the fact that the Soviet Union no longer controlled the surrounding countries increased the tensions in the region. In April 4, 1949, the countries signed a final treaty that established NATO. The USSR has strongly opposed the formation of the organization. In a response, it created its own structure to maintain its stability in the Western Europe. Not all countries became beneficial because of the creation of NATO. Some countries found themselves on the wage of the war with ...

The concept of international security is a rather multifaceted field with different players and politics playing the major role. In international politics the globe seems to be divided into certain independent and distinct sections. For instance, the West is deemed to always speak with one voice and include nations such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Frances and Canada. On the other the East tends to provide some sort of leverage in the debate. China, Russia, India and Brazil tend to consider themselves as the other side of the argument. However, the Middle East with the exception of ...

During the first 2 centuries C.E., there was a period of peace and prosperity, called Pax Romana , which remained in history as one of the happiest and prosperous periods in the entire human history. However, the achievements of the 3 emperors of the Flavian dynasty, Vespasian, and his sons, Titus and Domitian, laid the foundations for Pax Romana because it represented a period of able administration and important political, social, military and educational changes which brought prosperity in the empire. The succession of the first of these emperors, Nerva, put an end to the Flavian dynasty and in particular, ...

The history of the United States is a colorful one; it has played a part in most of global major events. If it is a worldwide historical event, chances are the United States has a part in it in one way or another. Such events can be attributed to, and are the causes of America’s rise to superpower that it is today. The fact that America has a key role in some of world events can be considered proof that it is one of the world’s most influential countries, which ultimately gives credence to its reputation as ‘ ...

In 2001, New York City wakes up to horrific attacks caused by the al-Qaeda terrorist of September 11, on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon buildings. As a result, the political leaders declared a "war on terrorism" which was to include more than 60 countries as enemies and planned to last for fifty years. In the same year, President Bush allocated $379 billion in Pentagon budget that included $48 billion for fighting terrorism. The parameters and nature of the war on terrorism, however, continue to be frustratingly unclear. The war on terrorism contained elements of war and non-war. ...

Introduction

Nowadays world’s ‘multipolarity’ creates the great conglomerate of interests and world views, which are of great importance, when they arise on the international arena. According to the main principles of the UN, they are to be respected and balanced so as to achieve so-called sustainable development. Otherwise, the consequences could be rather negative for the rest of contemporary multipolar world. According to Mearsheimer, multipolarity is more likely to cause potential conflict dyads, that the previous bipolar world, when the conflicts could be generally caused by two great existing powers (Brown, 1998). That makes the study of the causes ...

International Terrorism

The issue of terrorism is both complex and highly emotional. It is convoluted as the issue amalgams a number of various factors of human experience, inclusive of topics such as military planning, psychology, philosophy and history, among others. On the other side, extremism is also high charged emotionally as the instances of terrorism give rise to enormous feelings, combined with the fact that seeing terrorists justify their actions as right have strong emotions with regard to the use of violence against these terrorists (United States Institute of Peace, n.d., p. 3).
Simply stated, terrorism can be defined as “propaganda by ...

The war between Israel and Palestine dates to 1967. This was due to the claimed USSR assistance and involvement with taking sides. There emerged falsified information claiming that Israel wanted to attack Syria despite there being no such attempt. The conflict between Syria and Israel lasted about a year prompting Israeli authorities to force Syrian officials to stop Palestinian attack on Israel. The attempts to forge peace between Israel and Palestine since 1948 have been futile. Peace talks have also not been successful. Recent times have seen conflict recur once again. This was witnessed in 2003 when Israeli soldiers invaded ...

International Security

Debatably, the most potent lesson that all nations learnt from the first and second world wars, is the fact that sustaining war is one of the most expensive forms of public spending. War can drain the economic strength of a country to an extent that a country can shift from a first class economy to a middle income economy. Historians have always had to look at war as a detrimental social phenomenon that has negative impacts on the economic development of the state h, as well as the country building process. Contrary to this assumption, war has positive aspects as well. In the contexts ...

Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt is widely regarded as one of the best presidents in United States history. He is known for his cowboy persona and his widespread representations of traditional masculinity. Many Americans today remember him as a rope-swinging, outdoorsman who would not be content sitting inside the Oval office. In fact, he was once observed jumping off a horse into a pit of wild dogs and slaying a mountain lion. Roosevelt changed the course of the presidency and did many things that presidents had never done before, such as riding in a submarine, being identified by his initials, being ...

Pawel Kuczynski is a polish born artist who, between the years of 2004 and 2010 became renowned for his satirical paintings, many of which centered around the art, or horror, of modern warfare. One such work, Under Protective Wing, was published, first in 2009, and has come to fame for its powerful message, and body use of color. This painting demonstrates that while War brings tragedy, there are ultimately other issues that affect decision making, and which promote the continuation of war.
At the denotative level, the image, Under Protective Wing, is relatively simplistic. It shows four vultures sitting ...
