Abstract

The demise of the Soviet Union has been a major cause of controversies on the relevancy of NATO in the contemporary world.

NATO’s military interventions in places such as Afghanistan and Syria have been crucial in restoring order in the world. With its revised rules that include global war on terrorism, and drug trafficking, it ...

Classical liberalism had come the full circle of its utility before the 20th century. People seemed satiated with what governmental non-intrusion in the affairs of large industrialists did to their financial wellbeing. People were at no liberty to enjoy the deserved fruits of their labor. Thus, naturally, the welfare state of modern liberalism became a response to the shortcomings of the classical doctrine. However, the WW1 frustration coupled with the Great Depression in later years undermined the prevalence of modern liberalism giving rise to ideologies like Nazism, yet the Keynesian liberalism overcame the corrupt vision. Although an ally of ...

The taxes imposed go to the government of the importing country. However, protectionism has recently taken the form of non-tariff barriers such as import quotas, subsidies to domestic firms, administrative regulations, among other forms.

The main thesis of Carole Chapman’s article is that Britain's refusal to follow the Hitler’s plan profoundly influenced his strategy. In 1939, the ruling circles of Britain, France and the United States endeavoured to direct Hitler's aggression against the Soviet Union. If not for the pact, there would be a united front of the Western powers and Germany against the first socialist state. The Soviet-German pact was vital, as Britain and France did not want an alliance with the Soviet Union and, thus, disrupted talks in Moscow in August 1939. Hitler realized that since Britain refused to ...

Britain’s reluctance to give in to the threats of German power shaped the strategy of Hitler and the events leading to his demise during WWII. This theme can be observed beginning with Hitler’s attempts to isolate the Polish, his need for victory against the French and the declaration of war against the Soviet Union and it’s the failure of the Eastern Front leading to war with America. Hitler’s strategy was to either threaten Britain into submission or to create strategy that would lessen the likelihood that they would be supported by America. After the ...

The title of the work of philosopher and diplomat Hugo Grotius (1583-1645), De Jure Belli et Pacis (On the Laws of War and Peace) (1625), does not entirely embrace the complete scope of international law; however, the work does engage its primary objects. However, the comprehension in the work is sufficient to evidence the quandary that is perplexing legal experts and scholars as well. The question being posed here is whether international jurisprudence should, one, legitimize the use of war or prohibit its use. Two, should the operation of international law predict or forbid it, and lastly, should ...

Despite the success of the alliance between the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the United States in bringing victory in the Second World War, the cooperation during wartime implied glossing over several differences between the two countries. The soviet leaders had been complaining about the coexistence between capitalism and communism following the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 (Jones, Trevelyn, Luann, Marlene, Daryl, Jeanne, & Mary, p. 172). There are several factors that combined to result into the emergence of the Cold War between the 1940s and 1990. During the 1940s, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, also known as the ...
