Abstract
In this paper the author examines the role of Protestantism, in particular the Lutherans, in post WWI Germany and how they helped lead to the downfall of the Wiemar Republic and the raise of Hitler?s Germany. The author pays particular attention to the groundwork laid by Martin Luther, the influence of the theological leaders of the 1920?s, the role of other major Protestant religions of Germany, and the factors affecting the Protestant German citizens of the time.
From the paper:
?The groundwork for the Protestant role in these historical events began with the writings of Martin Luther. German Protestants of the 1920?s, even those who were not Lutheran, felt a special bond with him. This tendency was reinforced by theological beliefs of the average Lutheran of the day and the feeling that German people had an especially strong bond with their homeland, a bond stronger than many other people of the world.?

Abstract
This paper embarks on an examination of the work of post-war critical theorists Adorno, Horkheimer and Marcuse who capture the dominant themes of post-war Critical Theory well. It proceeds to show how many parallels are evident between post-war Critical Theory and the more recently formulated postmodernist theories. An examination of postmodernist theories then ensues, taking as exemplars the work of Baudrillard, Jameson and Harvey. It concludes by arguing that postmodernist theories do indeed revisit the critique of modern culture, which post-war Critical Theory began and they do so without the political commitment to Marxism. An explanation for this follows, discussing the events which ?shattered a whole generation of French intellectual?s beliefs in the moral supremacy of Marxism? and sheds light on the climate which ultimately paved way for the emergence of postmodernism.
From the Paper
"Advertising encourages individuals to view themselves primarily as consumers, and under the guise of entertainment, audiences are manipulated into accepting and conforming to existing society. Kellner captures this sentiment well claiming ?advertising progressively fuses in style and technique with the entertainment of the culture industry, which in turn can be read as a series of advertisements for existing society and the established way of life? (1989:33). The culture industry is designed to discourage individuals from challenging the given order, to think critically and indeed, think for themselves. ?The need, which might resist control, has already been suppressed by the control of individual consciousness? (1995: 121). Adorno and Horkheimer show how the products of the culture industry are similar to those produced in a factory, sharing their belief that ?under monopoly all mass culture is identical?. (1995: 121)."

Influence of War on Middle Eastern Society, 2000.

Abstract
This paper contrasts and compares the effects of three different wars, on three different countries in the Middle East. The reasons for Egypt, Israel and Syria's decisions to go to war at different times in the last century are discussed, and then analysed to show how this decision affected the political and economic futures of the individual countries, and the region as a whole.
From the paper:
"The Yom Kippur War thus fundamentally changed Syrian society, militarizing its government, just as the Six-Day War divided and energized Israel and World War II wove the foundations of socialism into Egypt. That these changes depended upon the presence of war is not a definitive fact, but their essential contribution to the development of these nations cannot be ignored. This conclusion raises a troubling question, a sad and desperate query tinged with hope: must all change in the Middle East spring from the dark bosom of horrific war?"

Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between the post- war prosperity, the development of the suburbs, and the perceived need for conformity in the United States. These factors, while apparently extremely different in appearance, are all connected through the changing social structure of America. The main cause of this change is best explored as that of a need for stability and the new finances that allowed the new American middle class to chase after that stability.

Abstract
This paper explains that the post-Cold War age, which resulted in a decline of the bipolar system, has created a very complex political struggle with a new security duality: On one side, (1) a uni-polar system, with the United States acting as a single hegemonic power, combined with a multi-polar system, emphasizing multinational cooperation and globalism, versus the other side, (2) nation-states, which are splintering into terrorist societies. The author points out that, while the causes of conflicts during the Cold War were ideological and territorial issues, post-Cold War conflicts are caused by much more eminent and diversified factors such as ethnicity, religion, governance and poverty. The paper relates that the intensity of religious fanaticism, which founded and flamed the conflicts between the Western and Arab worlds for thousands of years, assures that terrorism will continue to challenge world security because neither side will back down in the wake of new cultural and social ideals.
From the Paper
"Presently, nations are becoming ever more intrinsically connected, affecting economies, politicalization, social issues, and citizenry. Today's interdependence is the intertwining of nations in a globalized world. Economically speaking, countries are not as self-reliant as they once were in terms of markets, commodities and exchange rates. Investments are being made by corporate American all over the world in terms of increasing profits and opening markets. General self-rule and flexibility is lost by individual states as we move towards a global economy and, "at a minimum will raise serious questions about the meaning of internal and external sovereignty.""

British Post War Consensus, 2005.
An analysis of the main characteristics of the Butskelite post war

Abstract
This paper explains that the Butskellism consensus in Britain represented a broad and general agreement between Britain's two major political parties on how the nation should be governed.
The paper then proceeds to outline the characteristics that personified the post war consensus in order to not only ascertain whether its extent has been exaggerated but also to learn why it emerged in the first place. The paper also addresses the positive literature along, with the revisionism that the post war political period has been subject to and concludes that a broad agreement on the goals to be achieved existed, although the methods to carry out this endeavour may have differed.
From the Paper
"When the Conservative Party was returned to office in 1951 there was widespread concern within Labour ranks that their nationalisation legislation would be quickly reversed. However, with the exception of Iron and Steel and Road Haulage, denationalised in 1953 and 1954 respectfully, Churchill's government retained the Atlee administrations principle measures of nationalisation and with it the commitment to a mixed economy. Dorey sums up this point admirably, "The main thing to stress is how little was done by the Conservatives either to change the existing structures or to clarify the relationship between the government and the state owned corporations".

The Post-Cold War World, 2006.
A critical review of three readings dealing with building peace in a post-Cold War world.
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 3 sources, £ 24.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents a critical review and response to three readings. The readings include Boutros Ghali's "An Agenda for Peace: Preventive Diplomacy, Peacemaking and Peacekeeping", Michael Small's "Peacebuilding in Post-conflict Societies" and Carrie Manning's "Local Level Challenges to Post-Conflict Peacebuilding". All three address the topic of peacebuilding in the post-Cold War world.
From the Paper
"In An Agenda for Peace, Ghali discusses the purpose of the United Nations, as well as gives an analysis and recommendations on ways the UN can strengthen their means for preventative diplomacy, including peacemaking and peacekeeping. These two fundamental components of preventative diplomacy are quite different, despite both centering on peace. With peacemaking, actions are used to end hostilities. However, peacekeeping involves not only making peace, but maintaining it as well, once it is achieved. With the end of the Cold War, there came the opportunity for globalized peace on a scale never before known, and the UN has been charged with the task of acquiring and maintaining this international peace and security."

Japanese Post-World War II Economic Development, 2002.
A look at the cultural advantages of Japan's post-war economic miracle.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that some elements of pre-World War II Japanese culture proved to be advantages to the processes of economic reconstruction as they took hold in the first decades after 1945. If the Japanese recovery is looked at in terms of class and economy only, the Japanese defeat in World War II signaled a complete break from the imperial ethos, which had dominated national culture and contributed to practically every aspect of Japanese cultural and economic life. When Japanese post-war economic development is explored in ways which include cultural advantages, however, the so-called "miracle" of reconstruction begins to seem somewhat more predictable.

Abstract
This essay identifies and explores some of the major challenges to European economic integration in the post-cold war era. It also traces the development of the European Union from the years following World War Two to the groundbreaking Maastricht Treaty.
From the Paper
"At the close of the Second World War, Heads of State from around the globe came together with the goal of ensuring that the devastation seen in that violent conflict would never again be repeated. One of their primary goals was to reinforce the European economy so that the continent could rise from the ashes of their broken cities and achieve the eminent philosopher Immanuel Kant?s dream of perpetual peace. The U.S. Secretary of State, George C. Marshall, devised a plan that would give Europe the aid it so desperately needed but only if the individual countries pulled together and launched a joint effort to revitalize their continent. This measure would ensure the impecunious economic conditions that indirectly brought Hitler, Mussolini and Franco into power would be avoided. As the years progressed and the wounds of war slowly healed, Western European economies began to integrate their coal and steel markets."

Abstract
This paper examines various theories into how and why the United States developed so quickly into being the world's only real superpower following the Cold War. It looks at the country's unsurpassed military capabilities and its political agenda. The writer concludes that the real geo-political organization of the post-Cold War world is a single pole of world power that constitutes the United States at the peak of the industrial west.
From the Paper
"Presently, American military expenditure enhances that of the next twenty countries altogether. Its navy, air force and space power are still considered unsurpassed. While the military expenditure by US associates is eliminated, the United States has the military expenditure to the tune of about twice as much on defense as the rest of the world altogether. The American troops have been deployed in 75 nations; each organ of the armed services has its own air force, and in the coming year we are capable of becoming aware whether the US can pull off what it has been preparing to do since the end of the cold war: struggle for two regional wars at the same moment. During the post 9/11 period most of the Americans are quite anxious to spend more on military activity than the next 15 nations collectively. They have enough faith in the pledge of our leaders that we are secured only when we could overcome our enemies and eliminate them adequately. Moreover, the American technology is quite alluring. It is prominent by every measure: military economic, technological, diplomatic, and cultural even linguistic with numerous countries trying to fend off the unalterable transition of Internet fueled MTV English."
