Abstract

Hurricane Katrina touched ground in Louisiana in August 2005. The resulting lack of coordination in a catastrophe of this size by federal agencies led to large numbers of evaluations, reports, and recommendations for improvement. Particularly under fire was the FEMA organization tasked with management of the disaster operations.

Introduction

The provision of foreign aid to North Korea (officially the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) is a contentious issue, perhaps due to the negative image of the nation in question brought by its repressive regime and myriad of human rights violations.

What motivated the US towards such direction is the regime’s inefficiency in distributing aid, mainly due to its resistance of reforms. Apart from ...

During the first years of the republic, the presidency was regarded as a nearly powerless body, given that the Constitution provides much more prevalence to the Congress.

Nonetheless, the executive office has gradually increased its power, especially during the last century. Right now, the executive is the dominant force in foreign policy making but, through history, ...
