Abstract
This paper examines how state control over the dissemination of information in Soviet Russia was almost total, at least until the mid-1980s, and not only because of literal state control. It looks at how, before Gorbachev, when glasnost, or openness, began, journalists were educated in Marxist-Leninist theories and the current Communist Party policies and how, even after the loosening of government censorship in the 1980s, there were more pressures than just the Soviet censor keeping some of the news from being printed.
From the Paper
"In 1987, a Pravda editor told the ASNE delegation, ?We once did not write about such things as crime or earthquakes, but now we have no taboos.? Perhaps he should more accurately have said that they no longer had those official taboos. In Samarkand that year, the ASNE delegation found the local newspaper Lenin?s Path under fire for publishing an article about suicide among young Muslim women. The editor, Boris Shegolikhin, said that while the story had not been censored?after all, by then even Pravda was writing about the sale of stale bread in city bakeries and the pitiful performance of the city?s streetcars?but it had been criticized by readers who were displeased."

From the Paper
"Iosif Vissarionovich Djugashvili was born December 21, 1879 in Gori, Georgia; a small agricultural town situated about one hundred miles east of the Black Sea. Iosif was the son of an alcoholic cobbler and a pious peasant woman. He grew up with no siblings, because the families' first three children had died shortly after birth. Consequently, young Iosif was treasured by his mother who made great sacrifices throughout her life for him. An extremely hard-working woman, Yekaterina Djugashvili worked as a domestic servant to augment her husband's meager earnings. However, even the parents' combined incomes were not enough to keep the small family above the poverty line."

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to examine a single day's exposure to media and news, to determine if the information contained in a particular story has been disseminated and how it has been disseminated to others. The paper discusses the story itself, theories on media, and the dissemination of information. It concludes that subjective opinions and a lack of common guidelines for disseminating information prevent most people from becoming involved in the vast majority of news stories.

Freedom of Information, 2002.
This paper examines the issue of freedom of information in how the state relates with its citizens regarding its possession of information.

Abstract
This paper looks at two specific articles and addresses the issue of freedom of information. This paper concludes that the freedom of information is an aspect that involves the complicated relationship between the state and the citizen in a democracy. The state has a responsibility to protect and to gather information, as well as to disseminate it. But it also has the responsibility of allowing access to the people that elect governments. This often creates a conflict of interest, especially when issues of privacy and national security may be involved.

Abstract
This paper explains that effective supply chain management (SCM) seeks to integrate purchasing, materials management, quality management, demand management, distribution planning, and manufacturing planning; the focus of managing an effective supply chain is on the entire chain, including where and how the products are sourced, delivered, and merchandised to the customer. The author points out that the Internet, an enhancement to the various telecommunications tools companies use to support their supply chain operations, is especially useful to retailers in expanding communications and disseminating information, ordering products, and communicating levels of supplies. The paper relates that, in sharp contrast to the limitations of past years, supply chain managers today can effectively use customer databases to help synchronize supply chain operations with consumer needs.

From the Paper
"The ability to respond to supply chain management issues effectively has been the basis for improved productivity in the United States; an integral part of this process has been the introduction of sophisticated technological innovation which, in recent years, has becoming increasingly linked with information technology (IT). According to Park and Krishnan (2001), "One of the issues investigated in recent studies on small business enterprises involves the role of supply chain management" (259). Supply chain management has assumed an increasingly role in the strategic planning in both large and small businesses today, though, as companies have increasingly elected to outsource as a strategic approach to growth."

Abstract
This paper describes in detail American relations with Russia in the wake of the Soviet Union's collapse, focusing on the "Gorbachev years" as the first stage of a multi-pronged analysis of an evolutionary American foreign policy. It provides some insight into how the Russian political situation has effected and may continue to effect the future of the relationship. It focuses primarily upon Russia itself and not upon American relations with the other fourteen states that have emerged since the collapse of the Soviet Union. As needed, however, and where the relationships with such states as Ukraine or Lithuania overlap with American involvement with Russia itself, these issues are addressed.
The first of the three sections of the paper demonstrates that while it may be true that some opportunities for a profitable mutual involvement have, in fact, been missed due to U.S. inaction or indecision or uncertainty, enormous opportunities remain available. The report draws upon literature to indicate how U.S. initiatives have been undertaken, their effects and the Russian response. A background analysis of the relationships of the U.S. and Soviet Union during the Cold War and America's own position as a hegemon are provided. The second section of the paper deals with the Yeltsin years and the final section with the current state of the United States/Russian relationship.

From the Paper
"Nevertheless, the world in the absence of the Soviet Union is not a world fully at peace. The Middle East and portions of Africa remained troubled and potentially explosive, requiring an American military and security response, perhaps via the continued U.S. participation in multilateral peacekeeping and other military activities of the United Nations. Containment, as a policy doctrine, remains critical in certain of these cases such as that presented by the Middle East. A long-term American policy of supporting those governments and/or movements most likely to in turn be supportive of democratic systems should be continued, regardless of the political orientation of the President and the Congress (Kennedy, 1987)."

Abstract
The writer of this paper contends and proves that the fall of the Soviet Union did not solve the pre-existing economical and political problems of the U.S.S.R. This paper examines how different moral and cultural values, compared to those of other western countries, contributed to Russia's downfall, in the Post-Soviet era. The writer discusses the fact that former Soviet Union countries are currently rife with poverty, poor social infrastructure and corruption. While democracy reigns in Russia at present, this paper delves into the current situation of former republics of the U.S.S.R., which are considered to be on par with third-world countries. This paper focuses on the growth of nationalism and religious extremism, which has become prevalent in Russia, in recent years. This paper also examines the lack of democratic institutions, along with no experience of actual democracy, which has resulted in a shift towards totalitarianism, in many post-Soviet republics.
From the Paper
"Foreigners who visit former Soviet Union countries are often shocked by existing poverty, poor social infrastructure and corruption which erodes society from inside. It may be explained taking into consideration different historical factors: Soviet Union was based on strict dictatorship, where the interests of individual were not taken into consideration. Individual got basic facilities for living: in 1930's it was a great progress as USSR turned into a quickly developing industrial economy from a conservative and outdated agricultural one. Formal equality of all citizens created favorable conditions for unavoidable corruptions which made citizens to exploit their positions illegally in order to improve the living. There is an ethical explanation too: several generations of Soviet people didn't know what religion and morality are, as the official religion of the USSR was atheism."

From the Paper
"Both the United States and the Soviet Union must share the responsibility for the start and continuation of the Cold War in the period between 1945 and 1963. During World War II, the U.S. and the Soviets were allies committed to the defeat of mutual enemies - Japan and Germany. At the end of World War II, as the Allies struggled to reconfigure the European polity and establish a new order in the East, the interests of the Soviet Union and the United States came into direct collision. For western leaders and their diplomats, World War II had a successful but hardly "neat" ending; too many questions were left unanswered, such as the future of Poland and Germany, which had been opened at Yalta and Potsdam but left unresolved (Kennedy, 1987; Keohane, 1984)."

Abstract
This essay examines the processes by which Putin and contemporary Russian leaders are attempting to forge a new relationship between the nationalities of the former Soviet Union. The paper begins with a brief background on the complexity of the nationality question in the former Soviet Union and discusses the processes that led to the collapse of the Soviet state. The paper then moves to a more detailed analysis of centre periphery relations in the new Russia.
From the Paper
"The collapse of the Soviet Union in the late 1980s and early 1990s transformed political, social and economic relations across a large portion of the Eurasian land mass. In this process, a massive multi-ethnic state dissolved into a range of successor states - based more or less on a variety of regional ethnic and/or national identities - as the ideological bonds of communism and the exercise of raw military power proved insufficient to deal with the centrifugal forces that began to tear the fabric of the Soviet state apart."

Abstract
This paper has two main objectives: first, to briefly sketch the impact of nationalism on the political system of post-Soviet Russia; and second, to describe how competing groups (vis-a-vis Russia) define themselves and use nationalism to legitimize their political aims, and sometimes also the crimes and brutalities that are spin-offs of the actualizing process.

From the Paper
"Since the breakup of the Soviet Union into individual nations, the region's economies have undergone severe changes. Centralized planning and state ownership of nearly all factors of production has given way to increased privatization. The region has witnessed some individuals who have made sizable profits as a result of the new policies, while other individuals have seen their standards of living decrease. The result is that the various nations are scrambling to establish monetary and fiscal policies that can help the various nations emerge from the 70 years of socialism and centralized planning into a new era. In the early years of the 1990s, the region witnessed high levels of inflation, economic disruption and upheaval, and increased scrutiny by outside economic forces, including the International ... "

From the Paper
"In the 1990s the business environment is highly turbulent and complex, where competitive pressure is increasing with globalization. Topping this off is the dramatic, pervasive and quickly felt implications of the information revolution. In this climate new paradigms are created and with it new opportunities. To capitalize on these opportunities and to handle the complex environment, an organization requires timely and relevant information more than even before. Information has always been the life blood of the organization; it enables an organization to make sense of the world, to resolve ambiguity and to facilitate decision making and coordination. Information is an important source of competitive advantage."

Abstract
This paper examines the use of and shifts in American foreign assistance policy to Russia and how those shifts and uses have impacted upon the former Soviet Union, or Russia herself. The paper addresses the following questions: 1.What has been the effect of American foreign aid to Russia since the collapse in 1989? 2.What are the specific efforts or programs initiated by the United States to provide assistance to Russia? 3. What are the functional powers that allow for such aid? 4. How does American foreign aid to Russia since 1989 reflect or deviate from past examples of American bilateral assistance? The paper offers a brief overview of the key transformations taking place in the former Soviet Union over the past 11-plus years. The paper argues that American foreign assistance to Russia has not succeeded in bolstering the country's emergent democratic institutions to the degree anticipated, largely as a consequence of internal Russian corruption and ineptitude and of America's failure to properly assess the Russian situation.
From the Paper
"Any nation, including the United States, requires the ability to deal with its international environment in a flexible and effective manner. In practice, this often necessitates assuming the position of global peacekeeper or "policeman," as the U.S. has done in the cases of Grenada, Haiti, Panama, Bosnia, and Somalia (Nincic, 1988). Nincic (1988) notes that policy-making in a democracy must have three principal attributes: 1) it must be based upon the policy preferences of the public; 2) the powers of a democracy's managers must be constrained; and 3) policy must not violate rights and liberties."
