From the Paper
"After a long and difficult day of negotiations with Haiti's military rulers in September 1994, former President Jimmy Carter excused himself from dinner with some Haitian business people, withdrew to his hotel suite, and began typing the first draft of what later became the American agreement for the dissolution of Haiti's military regime. Carter never cleared his proposal with President Clinton. For that matter, the White House did not even know it existed until the following morning, almost half a day after Carter offered the proposal to the Haitian military. By then, Lieutenant General Raoul Cedras had already accepted the proposal as a basis for agreement. The transition from military to civilian rule had begun under uncertain terms.
The purpose of this research is to examine the events that led up to the Haitian crisis and the United States/Haitian..."

"THE UNITED STATES.HAITI RELATIONSHIP
This research considers the contemporary relationship between the United States and Haiti. One aspect of this relationship tends to portray the United States as a champion and protector of Haitians. This aspect of the relationship is illustrated by American support for ousted Haitian president Aristides and the application of economic sanctions to Haiti's military government. A second aspect of the relationship between the United States and Haiti casts the United States as a nation that is prejudiced against Haitians, as Haitian refugees are refused easy entry into the United States, while refugees from Cuba and many other countries are welcomed to the United States (Amnesty International 2; Lawyers Committee for Human Rights 5)."

"These days many people are saying that the United Nations is overburdened and powerless. At the heart of this crisis is the sudden expansion of UN involvement in hot-spots across the globe, coupled with a growing number of embarrassing failures in the international arena.
This research examines the relative degree of success or failure of the United Nations in its missions to keep the peace and ensure the protection of basic human rights. The ability of the UN to meet these objectives will be highlighted by the organization's activities in four countries in particular: Kampuchea; Somalia; Bosnia-Herzegovina; and Haiti. The reasons behind UN successes and failures will be scrutinized, and ways in which the United Nations could optimize its performance will he discussed."

Russian Financial Crisis 1998: A Self-made Crisis, 2002.
A paper that covers the financial crisis that hit Russia in August 1998.

Abstract
This paper contains an analysis of factors, both internal and external, that caused the financial crisis in Russia in 1988. The main argument of the paper is that the main causes of the crisis originated from inside. The monetary system that the Russian government created after the fall of the USSR failed to provide a stable channel for the implementation of an adequate monetary policy. The paper shows that the banking system was ill-designed and corrupt, mainly serving as a channel for government funds to favored industries. Finally, the paper shows that the extreme usage of government debt (often for the personal benefit of the Russian officials) was the factor that shut the whole economy down. Bonds were printed like paper, which is unsustainable even in the short-run.

From the Paper
"In 1998 Russia was hit by a large-scale financial crisis. The bad news of Russian default (or payment suspension) in August 1998 was one of the primary concerns of almost all Russian and western media. The events and outcomes of the crisis were relatively similar to the ones that took place in Asia in 1997 or, more recently, in Argentina (the latter has recently defaulted on the largest government debt in history). These amounted, but were not limited to: national currency being largely devaluated, collapse of the banking system, and political unrest resulting in dramatic changes in the government."

From the Paper
"The American health.care crisis has been building up for many years, but in the 1990s it has reached what may be called epidemic proportions. It is a crisis that involves the closely related factors of cost and availability of adequate health care for Americans, and which raises the underlying issue of fairness. The health care crisis also reaches to a fundamental political, philosophical, and moral question. Is health a right for all Americans? Or is it a privilege, which, like BMWs or beachfront houses, should be expected to be available only to those who are in a position to pay for it.
The answer given to these questions, and the decisions made regarding the American health.care system, will obviously effect the lives, well.being, and pocketbooks of every American. But they will particularly impact upon those who work within the..."

"Until the late 1970s, few Americans knew or cared much about Iran. Then, with the fall of the Shah's regime, the rise of the Khomeini revolution, and the 1979-1980 hostage crisis, Iran became a central preoccupation of the American public and of U.S. political life.
The chief source of news and opinion on Iran for most Americans throughout this period was the mainstream press. In principle the press was independent of both government policy and popular opinion, and broadly objective. In fact, however, the mainstream press shared the ignorance and the ideological blinders of the government it was supposed to be independent of, and of the public it was supposed to inform.
This study makes a qualitative comparative analysis of official positions on Iran through this period, as drawn from the..."

"HEALTH CARE
Background
Health care in the U.S. is in crisis. Its cost has increased about 10 percent a year since 1980, which is more than three times the general rate of inflation. Moreover, in the wake of such high costs, some 37 million people, or about one-seventh of the population, lacks health insurance, largely because many employers are too small and cannot afford to provide such a fringe benefit (Castro, 1991, pp. 34-38). Aggregate health expenditures in the U.S. total some 400 billion dollars and account for 12.4 percent of the gross national product (GNP), up from 9.4 percent in 1980, which far exceeds that of other industrialized nations (Japan's 6.5 percent and Germany's 8.1 percent). And government's share of the nation's medical care ..."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed examination, written from a legal standpoint, of the treaty on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Children. The paper concludes the U. S. is willing to intervene in other international problems, such as oil; and therefore, it should make a public statement to protect the world?s most precious commodity, children, by supporting the treaty.

Reasons for Signing the Treaty
From the Paper
"While there are many political reasons that the US may refuse to sign the treaty, one of the chief causes for concern might be the establishment of an International Criminal Court. Many UN delegates support the idea of an International Criminal Court but the United States has been steadfast in its refusal to agree. An international criminal court might begin the slippery slope of descent to the power of individual nations when it comes to many issues including the treaty.If the international criminal court gains favor and power in the future it is feasible that the court could be used to enforce the treaty."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the doctrine of multiculturalism. The writer offers an analysis of why such a doctrine is problematic. In order to examine the issue of multiculturalism, the writer uses examples from the public education systems in the U.S. and Great Britain to show the difficulties in treating all cultures as equal.
From the Paper
"Multiculturalism is defined by the Ayn Rand institute as the view that all cultures are equal. While this doctrine is often adopted in spirit if not in principle in the U.S. and Great Britain, multiculturalism is problematic as a term. For if all cultures are equal we cannot say that there is one superior way of being, one superior set of values or one superior method of educating individuals. However societies like America and Great Britain often adopt such methods values ... "

From the Paper
This paper will provide a basic overview of the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962. It will focus on the decision.making process which led to the crisis, U.S. foreign policy, and an assessment of the crisis some three decades later.
Over the past decade, numerous previously classified documents have come to light regarding the events that led up to, took place during and after, and precipitated the 1962 Cuban missile crisis. Commentary in the United States has focused almost entirely on the American experience of the event and the lessons learned, or which should have been learned, from the event. "In addition, the main reason so much attention has been given to the crisis is that it has rightly been regarded as the most intensive, dangerous, and climactic crisis of the cold war, and has thus become a unique historical source for the study of ...

Abstract
This paper looks at the importance of a company's crisis management strategy and how the strategy that an organization takes during a crisis can affect the long-term health of that organization. It also puts forth the theory that organizations often collapse because when a crisis occurs they are not equipped to deal with it in a quick and timely fashion.
From the paper:
"Planning ahead of time can help soften the negative impact of an ongoing crisis. Decisions made while planning for a potential crisis tend to be more rational then a decision made in the middle of a crisis. Develop a crisis manual that is simple and easy to read and make sure it is used; it is worthless if it sits idle on a shelf. All employees need to be trained so they know what their roles will be during a crisis. This training will help prepare everybody in the organization to avert or effectively manage extraordinary incidents. It is not possible to plan for all potential crises that can occur. Rather an organization should prepare an action plan that involves responses for various aspects of a possible crisis."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that as one begins to examine the issues facing Chicano communities, the importance of housing issues and a sense of community cannot be ignored. The writer points out that the problem of inadequate housing for low-income families is a wide-spread problem. Communities in Southern California are particularly susceptible due to the high Chicano population. The writer notes that the crisis is different depending on the community. However, the writer maintains that one thing is certain, a greater effort needs to be undertaken if this issues is to be solved for now and for the future. After reviewing different articles relating to the housing crisis, this paper addresses several facets of the housing issue in the U.S. Summaries of the articles discussed are included at the beginning of the paper.
Outline:
Part I: Article Summary
Article 1: Supporting the Latino Community
Article 2: Street Dreams Are made of These
Article 3: SHA Battles to Save County Affordable Housing Program
Article 4: Withering Heights
Article 5: Time to Remove the Rose Colored Glasses
Part II: Analysis of the Housing Issue
The Crisis of Affordable Housing
Federal Housing Programs and Policies
Local Government Affordable Housing Programs
From the Paper
"As one found in the articles, there are several key issues facing Chicano communities. The high number of homeless school children, only tells part of the story. The number of homeless in Chicano communities is on the rise. The costs of housing have risen disproportionate to the rises in income. This means that even those that could afford housing before now face eviction and potential homelessness. This creates a rise in the number of working poor. As we found in the articles, there is an insufficient number of housing units available to medium and low income families. This number is decreasing instead of increasing, despite new government programs to provide more."
