[ send me this essay ]

It is important to understand that the concept of power is most often one that must be thought of as fundamentally subjective. What one person or unique group of people perceives as power may have little relevance to others’ perceptions of power.

Powerful And Rich Countries: Do They Create Governmental Corruption In Third World Nations Or Merely Exacerbate Existing Practices?
[ send me this essay ]
10 pages in length. Power, in general, is not necessarily threatening when employed as a means by which to provide accepted global boundaries; however, it is when those boundaries are overstepped that power must adopt a more threatening countenance. The very nature of globalization has rendered the notion of power a casualty of unsavory political activities within Third World countries. Defining the relationships that exist between political power and international relations is a task that draws its conclusion upon a very fine line. Indeed, while both of these entities have something significant to do with one another, at the same time the significance is that they each possess their own particular arrangement within the wide and varied scheme of bureaucratic function. It can readily be argued that one needs the combination of power and government in order to enact any level of politics; however, it can also be contended that there does not necessarily have to exist any sort of democratic considerations as a means by which to operate that government. This specific point speaks to the concept of power, authoritarianism and Third World corruption as it existed during the Cold War. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Predicting the Post-Cold War World
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page research paper/essay that compares three predictions about the nature of the post-Cold War world. Francis Fukuyama (1992), John Mearsheimer (1990) and Samuel Huntington (1996) provide predictions concerning the nature of the post-Cold War world. While these authors all perceive the end of the Cold War as precipitating a drastic change in the political power structures of the world stage, they are remarkably different in their assessments of what the future will hold. This examination of these works draws on the work of Marshall and Gurr (2003) in arguing that Huntington's arguments provide the most accurate forecast of political realities in the twenty-first century. No additional sources cited.

Predominant Views on Globalization: Idealization or Demonization?
[ send me this essay ]
A 14 page discussion on the impacts of globalization. While it is not valid to categorize all of the impacts of globalization as negative, it must be admitted that many are. With an objective analysis of the issues, in fact, it is easy to see that numerous factors come into play with globalization and the pros and cons of each must be weighed both individually and collectively. Bibliography lists 16 sources.
