Abstract
The paper discusses the Nazi-Soviet Pact, looking into the dynamics that occurred during and after the pact had been signed by both Germany and the Soviet Union. The researcher posits that the miracle political partnership happened because of the common interests Hitler and Stalin had during the time the pact was signed. The paper discusses how immediately after each leader's objective was achieved, the pact ceased to exist, allowing both leaders to become openly hostile and aggressive to each other again. The last part of the analysis centers on the impact that the dissolution of the pact had on both countries, illustrating how the Soviet Union benefited more from this pact than its initiator, Germany.
From the Paper
"The Nazi-Soviet Pact states that both nations, Nazi Germany and Soviet Union, would pledge neutrality in the event that one or both nations became involved in war. Signed by leaders Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler, the pact assured both Soviet Union and Germany the strength of their power in Europe, specifically in the Central and Eastern fronts, respectively. Though short-lived, the Nazi-Soviet Pact served its purpose for two years (between 1939 and 1941), allowing both countries to strengthen their power, expand their territory, and successfully promote their own political ideologies (Nazism for Hitler and Communism for Stalin)."

Abstract
This document discusses the case study entitled 'The Renault-Nissan Alliance' published by the Harvard Business School. The case study discusses the alliance between Renault and Nissan, first as an investment by Renault in Nissan and subsequently a full 50/50 joint venture. Although there were certain operational and engineering difficulties the joint venture has proven to be an astounding success due, largely, to Carlos Ghosn's leadership.
From the Paper
"Renault, long one of Europe's largest automotive manufactures, invested heavily in Nissan in 1999. These figures represented an approximate $5.4b amounted to a 36.8% stake in the company for Renault and represented a substantial risk (Yoshino & Fagan, 2003, p.6). For Renault the move was as strategic one to gain global scale while for Nissan the investment amounted to a vital life-line. In 2002, the Renault minority ownership in Nissan was upgraded to a joint venture complete with shared platforms, technologies, and synergistic markets (Yoshino & Fagan, 2003). The new full-fledged alliance was termed Renault-Nissan BV and it brought out the best from each company and ultimately fashioned a formidable competitor. "

The Alliance Movement, 2006.
A paper on the Alliance movement of the late 1800s that originated in the south as a response to farmers' grievances.
1,581 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 3 sources, MLA, £ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents a history of the Alliance movement, explaining that it began as a response by farmers to their long-held grievances against railroads, lenders, grain-elevator owners, and others with whom they did business. The paper explains how the Alliance movement early on turned to politics to further their demands, implementing a successful strategy that eventually formed the Populist party. The paper then looks at the struggles the Populist party began to face after its creation, its eventual demise as well as how some of the ideas from the Populist platform survived into the new century.
From the Paper
"The southern alliance began in Texas in 1875 but did not assume major proportions until Dr. Charles W. Macune took over the leadership in 1886. Its agents spread across the South, where farmers were fed up with crop liens, depleted lands, and sharecropping. By 1890, the Southern Alliance claimed more than a million members. Like the Grange, the Alliance distributed educational materials, and it also established cooperative grain elevators, marketing associations, and retail stores."

Descent and Alliance Theory, 2003.
A discussion on whether Descent and Alliance theory can be considered outdated in anthropology.
3,853 words (approx. 15.4 pages), 21 sources, APA, £ 73.95

Abstract
This paper examines descent theory and alliance theory and some of the ethnographies associated with them in an attempt to discover why these formulations are not considered satisfactory analytical tools today. It then turns to modern developments in kinship to try to analyse the common points of failure for both theories. It takes the view that the two theories in question were very much a product of an attempt to reproduce a conception of existing in the world that is the product of a European elite.
From the Paper
"Descent theory became popular in the 50?s, and was used as an analytic tool to explain everything from divorce rates to witchcraft accusations. In this application to everything, the first cracks in theory began to emerge. In Papua New Guinea, where descent theory seemed to be an almost perfect fit, John Barnes notes that it did not explain why the foundations of community organisation included a large number of non-agnates who were powerful figures in the community. Behaviour is descent theory, as evidenced by these examples, is simply not realistic. Social systems allow room for manoeuvre and manipulation."

Abstract
This paper examines Catherine Bowen's 1966 book "Miracle at Philadelphia", a well received text that looks at the 1787 American constitutional convention. Among other things, it examines in brief the factors that allowed for the constitutional establishment of a single executive as well as the establishment of a bicameral legislative system. It also looks at what the founding fathers meant by federalism and why they chose a republican form of government over a more purely democratic one.
From the Paper
"The following paper will review Catherine Bowen's Miracle at Philadelphia. In particular, the paper will why the founding fathers created the constitution, the manner in which they did so and how they saw the people of the United States. In examining all of the above, the paper will review why America has a federal system and how our early leaders defined federalism; what function was/is served by the bi-cameral legislative system or single executive authority; what design lay behind creating a government with legislative, executive and judicial branches; why it is that America is a republic and not a democracy; why American leaders had cause to fear the original constitutional document; and, lastly, what the American constitution says about the nature of government and about the nature of human beings.

Economic Miracle: Japan, 2007.
This paper discusses Japan as an enduring economic miracle in the world.

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at the revival of the Japanese economy following World War II. The writer discusses how, after Japan's surrender in WWII, it was faced with a shattered economy, but has since managed to become the second largest market economy in the world. The writer notes that this was achieved by a set of developments, which included high rates of personal savings and private-sector facilities investment, a labor force with a strong work ethic, a sufficient supply of cheap oil, innovative technology, and effective government intervention in private-sector industries.
From the Paper
"The factors that made Japan an enduring economic miracle were categorized into its government, a protected economy and external assistance. During the Meiji era, the centralized government moved into the fiscal and military side. It first improved the railways and the postal services, which, in turn, helped the shipping industry. It likewise boosted the development of rural industries. Then the Meiji government established model industries, such as textile and glass, which stimulated the industrialization process. The Liberal Democratic Party stirred private businesses until the government made it a national priority to raise the national economy. The Ministry for International Trade and Industry or MITI was a government association, which fixed production targets, future economic plans and handled all of Japan's economic problems."

From the Paper
"Anatomy of a Miracle
Introduction
The story of South Africa and the end of apartheid is a complicated one. It is not clear, however, that Waldmeir is adequate to the task of explicating that complexity. Her credentials, as provided to us through the discussion in the prologue, seem sufficient. She has a background in journalism, acquaintance with the continent and country, and interest in the subject. However, there is also a lack of sophistication in her presentation of herself and the understanding of the actors in the South African drama. It is particularly surprising that she makes a character assessment of a revolutionary based on his demeanor, and the fact that he swam laps in a swimming pool. That seems more of a child's perception of reality than ..."

The paper takes several case studies in East and Southeast Asia in comparative perspective to show the similarities and differences of the development experiences in the region.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Context Setting: Asia Pacific in Global and Regional Perspectives
The East Asian Miracle in Theoretical Perspectives: Market-friendly and Developmental State Explanations
Relevant Themes on the East Asian Economic Miracle: Agricultural transformations in East Asia and the role of industrial policy in Asia Pacific
Agricultural Transformation in East Asian Countries
The State and Industrial Policy: Comparing East and Southeast Asia
Conclusions
Appendix
From the Paper
"The Asia Pacific has been the most dynamic region in the world with countries sustaining growth rates from 3 - 7% for decades, reducing absolute and relative poverty, and undergoing structural changes in demographic, economic and political terms. While area specialists do not claim a single model to be followed by the developing world, it is worthy to study the common conditions, policy choices, and challenges that these countries have faced. The East Asian Miracle indeed challenges scholars and policy makers to think beyond the standard Western model of development based on blind liberalization, deregulation, and privatization. Bearing in mind the nuances and commonalities across the region, there are lessons to be drawn if only to better understand the trajectory the region is currently taking."

Abstract
This paper discusses the importance of effective partnerships and alliances to a company's success. The paper points out that successful partnerships require that both parties in the partnership agree and commit to a set of common elements of the partnership. The paper then lists some of the key elements in a successful partnership and describes some of the reasons that alliances or partnerships fail.
Introduction
Partnerships and Alliances
Key Elements of a Successful Partnership Design
Reasons for Failure
Creating a Successful Design
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The pace of innovation today is too fast for any one company (especially technology company) to be all things to all customers . Last year alone, for example, the US patent office awarded more than 16,000 patents to the top ten global high-tech companies for their innovations. Even a brief look at the industry's history reveals a graveyard of once successful companies that failed to adapt fast enough to industry changes. Despite its long record of success, IBM suffered a near-death experience in the early 90s. New leadership and a new strategy were instrumental in engineering IBM's turnaround, and so was the power of its alliances with more than 90,000 business partners."

Abstract
The paper discusses Alliance Hospitality's planned expansion to the South Pacific island of Kava. The paper outlines the final implementation plan, addresses factors affecting the implementation and discusses the actions and resources that will be required to accomplish this task.
From the Paper
"The project presents us with four major factors affecting implementation: location, community, economy, and natural threats. The first challenge that the project will f ace is location. Kava is one of the 322 islands located in the island nation of Fiji. It accounts for 67% of the population of Fiji. In relationship to transportation among islands and to the United States, Fiji has existing transport methods in place. The railways are government-owned by Fiji Sugar Corporation. These railways, which do not authorize passenger or public use, do permit mass shipments among the islands are possible. Kava National Airport operates on the opposite side of Kava, which is only twenty-five minutes from the area scouted for the hotel and resort. Kava Hospital is the referral center for all health centers and hospital on the island of Kava. Although the hospital lacks professional staff and equipment, it is sufficient enough for minor to mid-size ailments. It does contain a helipad for those critical patients who will need to be airlifted to the United States."

Liberty Alliance Takes on Passport, 2002.
A paper which shows the head to head battle between Microsoft and Sun Micrososystems to control the single sign on solution for the Internet.
1,297 words (approx. 5.2 pages), 10 sources, APA, £ 30.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how Microsoft and a number of competitor companies such as Sun Microsystems, America Online and Novell (all acting under the name of Liberty Alliance) are gearing up for a collision of online authentication technologies similar to two trains on the same rail track. It shows how both approaches are fighting for the same Internet community and many question whether one or both technologies will succeed in the Internet. The paper explains how the outcome of this battle will dictate how network and Internet services will look in the future to come.
From the Paper
"Internet commerce vendors are most likely well advised to stay on the sidelines at this point without taking a definitive position against either competing initiative. Microsoft holds the strong position currently with an existing service that is available and offers a low implementation cost. Joint industry projects of reaching interoperable utopia have not historically succeeded with regular success with the IETF processes as a prime example. However, the weight, number and influence of Internet and traditional bellwether companies in the Liberty Alliance membership may ultimately force Microsoft into joining the alliance."

Abstract
This paper relates that American biographer, Catherine Drinker Bowen, calls the process of creating the US Constitution a miracle because of the many huge obstacles that had to be overcome during this process. The paper discusses Bowen's and other authors' details of the various oppositions, conflicts, debates, prejudices and other problems that had to be surmounted in order to form the new nation. The paper concludes that the US Constitution remains the heart of the American system and the guide for making decisions about legal, social, political, and economic matters.
From the Paper
"Bowen notes at the conclusion of her book that the Constitution was adopted in less than ten months "under the influence of local prejudices, opposite interests, popular arts, and even the threats of bold an desperate men," and that this was "a solitary event in the history of mankind" (Bowen, 1966, p. 310). What she writes in the body of her book are the details of the various oppositions, conflicts, debates, prejudices, and other problems that had to be overcome in order to form the new nation."
