Abstract
This paper examines the historic events that led to the 1929 signing of the Lateran Accords. The historic documents were signed in the Lateran Palace in Rome by Pietro Gasparri, Cardinal Secretary of State to Pope Pius XI, and Benito Mussolini, Il Duce of the Italian State. In the signing of these documents both men solved a problem that had plagued Italy for almost sixty years, commonly known as the "Roman Question." The writer of this paper details how the accords resolved the issue of the Catholic church's refusal to recognize the state of Italy. A complex set of documents, the accords were arranged into three separate agreements which are detailed in this paper. This paper explores the significance of the Roman question and it's solution which resulted in the birth of Vatican City.
From the Paper
"'Since the early middle ages, the church had been responsible for the education of the youth in Italy, as was the case in much of Europe. Although the French Revolution and reforms across the continent had taken much of that power away from the bishops and monks, in Italy the Church was still held ultimately responsible. The Duce felt that he needed to change that relationship. In the spring of 1931, in clear violation of the concordat, Mussolini's "black shirts" began to harass and beat up members of the Italian Catholic Action, a youth group devoted to the teachings of the church. By the early summer, the pope felt strongly enough to issue an encyclical on the subject. In it, he condemned the violence."

Abstract
The first part of the paper looks at the goals of the accords, particularly in terms of economics, politics, and the military. The next part looks at the behavior that the Israeli, Egyptian, and the United States governments brought to the bargaining table at Camp David. Particular attention is paid to the dual role the American government played as both participant and mediator in these negotiations. In the conclusion, the paper examines why the Camp David Accords failed to bring about a permanent peace in the region and makes recommendations regarding the conditions necessary for a lasting peace in the Middle East.
From the Paper
'Signed in 1978, the historic Camp David Accords were supposed to usher in a new era of peace between Israel and Egypt. Because the deal was brokered by then President Jimmy Carter at his Maryland presidential retreat, the Camp David Accords also signified the growing role of the United States in maintaining an international balance of power. The accord further illustrated how this global and regional balance of power has superseded traditional territorial conquests in the Middle East region, raising hopes that diplomatic channels could help bring about an elusive peace.'

Abstract
The paper explains that as advancements and changes in banking and financial markets increase, so do the risks involved. To protect these risks, the Bank for International Settlements created the Basel Committee, which established the Basel accords, which set forth the framework to minimize credit risk by introducing capital adequacy standards for large active banks. The paper presents a historical overview of the Basel accords and committee and then critically analyzes the current issues facing the accords. The paper discusses how the proposed BaselII framework provides a major advancement in protecting financial systems. The paper contends that although the implementation of the new accord is a complex process, our country's financial and economic stability is well worth the extra effort.
From the Paper
"Throughout the world, the business of banking involves taking and managing risks. Lending money, for example, involves the risk that the borrower might not repay the loan as promised or depositing money with the bank paying out interest at a fixed rate, only to be faced with the risk of interest rates dropping and the bank earning less on its investments than its paying out on interest towards the deposited amount. As advancements and changes in banking and financial markets increase, so does risk. The position of the banking business in the financials services industry has become such a large entity, that the management of banking risks has become ever more important to the financial stability and growth of the world economy."

Abstract
Discusses the 1995 DPA that ended the Civil War in Bosnia. Division of Bosnia into the Serb Republic and the Federation (Muslim-Croat). DPA successful in peace keeping but ineffective in consensus building. High ethnic animosity. Issue of war crimes. Factors that act against reunification of Bosnia.
From the Paper
"The principal achievement of the 1995 Dayton Peace Accords (DPA) was the cessation of the civil war in Bosnia. The peace has been maintained for nearly six years, but this is only because of the presence of large numbers of U.S. and coalition troops. Some DPA objectives have barely begun to be accomplished. The return of minority refugees to various parts of the country, for instance, has been extremely slow and has met with resistance from potential returnees and those who drove them out in the first place. Ethnic animosity has remained extremely high according to most reports and this is mirrored in the perpetual instability of the central government of the Republic now known as Bosnia-Herzegovina. Despite the successful maintenance of peace the Dayton Accords offer very little in the way of a viable framework for reuniting Bosnia into an ..."

?The Great Crash 1929?, 2002.
A review of the book ?The Great Crash 1929? by John Kenneth Galbraith.

Abstract
This paper shows how in his book "The Great Crash 1929", John Kenneth Galbraith, a leading economist, examines the meaning of the stock market crash of 1929 which has become a persistent fear for Wall Street ever since. It looks at the events leading up to the crash and details the aftermath. It compares recent downturns in the market today to the Great Crash and discusses how a crash such as the one that occurred in 1929 is simply impossible given the current structure of the market and of governmental and other controls. It analyzes how Galbraith finds that what happened in 1929 was not an isolated action and that earlier in history there had been other speculative splurges, beginning in 1637 when Dutch speculators invested in tulip bulbs.
From the Paper
"There were events prior to the Great Crash showing that the market might draw back. Galbraith cites one such in June of 1928 when in fact the death of the bull market was predicted, but this prediction was premature. Herbert Hoover would be elected President in 1929, and he had been concerned about the rising tide of speculation for some time. When he was Secretary of Commerce, he had tried to get the market under control. His attitude was kept secret, however, so his election did not cause the panic it would have otherwise. Ownership of property was rewarded by this time only in terms of an early rise in price. All other uses were irrelevant. Speculation in the market provided early returns and less responsibility, and people were buying stocks on margin so they could have the increase in price without the costs of ownership."

Abstract
In this article, the writer first describes the financial environment in the United States before the 1929 stock market crash occurred. The writer notes that for years the market was driven by public speculation. The writer points out that public leaders and role models played a major part in many of the public's beliefs. The public was fed lies and told stories that nobody could predict and were only backed by speculation. The writer explains that banks and many rich entrepreneurs inflated the market. The writer maintains that many times the market could have crashed before 1929, but speculation and trust in the economy did not let that happen. The writer concludes that speculation is often the aid to failure, where the best example was seen from 1925 to 1929. This paper uses mla style footnotes but does not include a bibliography page.
From the Paper
"For years the market was driven by public speculation. Public leaders and role models played a major part in many of the public's beliefs. They were fed lies and told stories that nobody could predict and were only backed by speculation. Banks and many rich entrepreneurs inflated the market. Many times the market could have crashed before 1929, but speculation and trust in the economy did not let that happen. Many were at a loss for what happened and were left with nothing. Sorrow and depression filled the streets throughout the country, especially New York City. It was not until many years later that the market recovered enough to pull investors in. What brought so many people the "American Dream" of becoming rich without physical activity, led to the eventual downfall of an economy which would drive the nation for years to come."

Abstract
This paper introduces the new features being offered in the latest Honda Accord model. It then provides an environmental analysis of the market and looks at Honda's competitors and consumers. By examining these factors, the paper presents the new marketing strategy being launched for Honda Accord.
From the Paper
"The Honda Accord has been an American mainstay in the car buying market since its inception many years ago. Over the past several years, the Accord has consistently ranked as one of the top sellers in its class because of its status as a symbol of quality and value in motor vehicles. Not surprisingly, Honda?s marketing strategy is centered around the importance of the Accord, particularly the four-door model, as a superior vehicle choice for the middle-class market and in particular, the stereotypical nuclear family with two parents and 2.5 children. Honda also emphasizes reliability in the hopes of attracting many repeat buyers of its signature model. On the other hand, the Accord coupe has been designed for the sporty traveler who desires a bit of luxury and trendy styling in a reliable vehicle. In the current market, Honda is experiencing a bit of a midlife crisis as its customer base is aging and younger, more impressionable buyers are seeking innovative, sleek body designs in such vehicles as the Volkswagen Passat. As a result, the 2003 Accord was recently introduced with an updated body style and other unique features in the hopes of separating itself from its chief competitor, the Toyota Camry. The new accord introduces a number of new design features, including an optional voice-activated navigation system for buyers who are looking for something new. Honda encompasses an extremely successful marketing strategy in its line of Accord models, and the following discussion will demonstrate its importance to the current vehicle market in the United States."

Abstract
This paper studies the possible reasons for the stock market crash in 1929. It examines John Kenneth Galbraith's book 'The Great Crash: 1929' which claims that the reason for the Great Crash was the over-zealousness and miscalculations of financial analysts and brokers at the time. It discusses how the basis economic theories were suddenly irrelevant afterwards. Finally, it blames the stock market crash on investors that did not want to see the reality.
From the Paper
"John Kenneth Galbraith's book "The Great Crash: 1929 claims that the depression of 1929 was a direct result of the miscalculations of the financial analysts and the other brokers which caused the crash of the stocks. He states that these actors of the economic field had a direct involvement in the stock market and had become too greedy to actually see what was happening to the market around them---too greedy to actually fear the recuperation?s of what was easily predictable as the downfall."
