Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that by the end of the 19th century, the United States had not only established itself as a political power but an economic one as well. The writer notes that key factors affecting the rise of the American economy can almost all be traced to the impact of the Industrial Revolution and the unique ways that revolution played out in the United States. The writer concludes that the combination of technological innovations, lack of governmental regulation, and urbanization propelled America to economic dominance.
From the Paper
"The factory model replaced the artisan model of employment, resulting in several major social revolutions. For instance, large numbers of Americans moved to urban centers in search of work. Urbanization centralized the means of production, through the co-location of manufacturing technologies within one factory and through the co-location of workers within the factory. As more Americans moved to urban centers, fewer ran family farms; agriculture had become a big business too. The railroads facilitated urbanization in many ways: by making it easier for laborers to move from rural to urban areas; and by making it easier to transport raw materials from rural areas or abroad to the city centers. The rise of urbanization in America also favored immigration, for immigrants were able to take advantage of the plethora of work opportunities in one central area. Family businesses and small artisan shops provided the main means of employment before the Industrial Revolution, after which urban-area factories became a dominant economic and social force. Because factories attracted large numbers of domestic and immigrant laborers, they were able to grow rapidly in size and scope. Immigration became a major social revolution precipitated by the Industrial Revolution, dramatically altering the ethnic, social, economic, and political landscape of the United States."

Rich and Poor Nation Development, 2002.

Abstract
This paper looks at whether or not richer states are morally obliged to assist poorer states in their efforts at economic development. Using Rawls's distributive justice model as the backbone of the paper, it is concluded that such an obligation does exist in practice, though there is no underlying compulsion for states to assist others other than in their own self interest. The study concludes by arguing that the more important question may actually be what rich states can actually do to ameliorate inequality. In the end, it seems that good intentions and deeds may not be enough to overcome the natural laws of inequality.

The World Bank and the United Nations Development Program, 2002.
Shows the major differences between the World Bank and the UNDP, with the former more concerned with economic issues than socio-cultural ones.

Abstract
For fifty years international organizations have focused on accelerating development in the lesser-developed countries. Two of these organizations, the World Bank and the United Nations Development Program recently released comprehensive overviews of their programs and prospects for development. These reports illustrate the UNDP's emphasis on socio-cultural factors and the World Bank's focus on economic issues. These are two distinctly different interpretations of development.

Globalization and Developing Nations, 2005.
An examination of how globalization has subordinated national sovereignty in developing countries.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The following paper outlines how third-world sovereignty has been diminished by globalization. Chiefly, the paper looks at the realities of an interconnected global economy as well as the rise of new technologies that make it easier for MNCs and NGOs to move capital and human resources across national borders. The paper also looks at what all of this means as well for big business.
From the Paper
"Globalization has greatly impacted the sovereignty of developing countries in two fundamental ways: it has made the national governments of fledgling states vulnerable to control at the hands of western multinationals; and it has compelled non-western nations to adopt western labour standards and western labour regulations. As it pertains to international business, it may be said that the subordination of third-world sovereignty to globalizing phenomena is a double-edged sword insofar as, yes, international business can more easily than ever before transport its business holdings and assets to countries congenial to its interests but, at the same time, the western labour standards the international business community eagerly seeks to avoid can be enforced even in third-world states."

Summary
From the Paper
"The treadle pump costs much less to operate, having no fuel and only limited repair and maintenance costs. For example, a cost analysis by Hyman (1995), cited in Perry & Dotson) compared treadle pumps and motorized pumps used in Senegal; this analysis showed that a cubic meter of water used in the irrigation of 0.5 hectares had an equivalent cost of $0.08 when supplied by the treadle pump which was just less than half the $0.17 cost for the same amount of water delivered by a motorized pump (Perry & Dotson, 2005).
The treadle pump also possesses a number of features which set it apart from other non-motorized irrigation pumps."

Abstract
This paper considers social mobility and reasons for the perpetuation of certain patterns from one generation to the next. The author includes data that affect one's ability to shift their social mobility. Each set of data can be affected by additional factors, such as racial differences in many societies. The author also contend that social mobility is more likely to occur in industrialized nations rather than those that have developing economies.
From the Paper
Universally, social mobility data shows that a person's social opportunity for mobility differ according to (a) parental socio economic status and (b) gender. Each can be affected by additional factors, such as racial differences in many societies. The key variables can be found in the social structure and degree of stratification in industrialized societies, societies with economies sufficiently advanced so that the distribution of wealth is more changeable than is common in developing societies. Emerging nations are those poised to shift from underdeveloped to developed status in the taxonomy used to identify the degree of economic and political development in the world system. Development involves more than attaining a level of economic development for both economists and political scientists, then, for each also recognizes the importance of achieving a certain social and political level in order to marshal the forces necessary to create and sustain a market economy. Organski (1990) notes that most of the literature on the..."

Abstract
This paper analyzes globalization in developing countries, contrasting the arguments made by neoliberal theorists and dependency theorists. The paper quotes the argument that the key factor limiting development in much of the world is the continued dominance of rent-collecting elites, neither caused by nor eliminated by globalization.
From the Paper
"In the last few years, globalization has become a topic of global controversy. Since the late ?'s, major trade conferences and other institutional events associated with economic globalization have become regular sites of mass protests, the protesters evidently being fully as globalized in character as the organizations that they are protesting against. Many of the specific objections to economic globalization are local in spite of the global scope of the anti-globalization movement."

Abstract
Examines Christianity, Buddhism & Islam & their connection to social organization. Historical development & influence of the 3 religions & their appeal to the masses. Examines establishment of the 3 religions in different parts of the world, their growth & doctrines.
From the Paper
"The three great proselytizing religions of the world -- Christianity, Buddhism, and Islam -- spread throughout major portions of the world and had enormous effects on the political and social development of nations and cultures. The degree of interpenetration between social organization and religious life varied in these three cases, however, and they demonstrate that the establishment of a religion that is intrinsically connected with a form of social organization tends to produce the firmest, most lasting type of religious orientation in a society.
From the fourth century the Roman Emperors in the West had taken a strong interest in the affairs of the Christian Church in the hope that unified belief would aid them in unifying the people of their disintegrating empire. But the invasions of the Germanic tribes, and others, brought about the fall of the..."

Abstract
This paper answers three questions regarding the operation of a specific development program operating in developing nations. The website evaluated for the answers to these three questions was Srihaswani's 'Manual Skills for Self Reliance', found at http://www.srihaswani.com. The questions examined the goals of the organization and the role that gender plays.
From the Paper
"This development group, Srihaswani, works in Southeast Asia in villages of mixed religious and ethnic backgrounds. It refers to itself as a creative manual skills for self-reliant development program. The primary development objectives of this group are to create self-sufficient, parallel, and local economies that are built on the creative manual labor of the local community. This is an important distinction. Firstly, it means that the organization strives to encourage the development of traditional skills that improve the quality of life of the community through creativity and through direct interaction. Secondly, the organization is distinct because their primary development objective isn't to increase the ability of the community to interact at the national or global level."

The League of Nations and the United Nations, 2005.
This paper discusses the participation of the U.S. in the League of Nations and the United Nations as an element of the American national interest.

Abstract
This paper explains that, although the U. S. failed to support the League of Nations, America supported the United Nations because the supreme national interest of America was to obtain a world atmosphere in which the United States could grow its inner social values devoid of undue commotion or danger from the outside. The author points out that collective action via the United Nations instead of unilateral action was considered politically viable on key political issues. The paper concludes that the League of Nations and the United Nations disappointed hopes the following the two world wars because, in no way, can they be an autonomous political power; at best, the U.N. is a mirror image of the opposing interest of autonomous states.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the United States of America the major disagreement on both the groundwork venture and the refined Covenant of the League of Nations had been on the base that the League would function as an intrusion with the sovereignty of America and with the Monroe principle, that it concerned desertion of the traditional American policy, which had not been in favor of entrapped coalitions, and that the government did not have the power, within its Constitution, to insert such an agreement . Independence has revealed to be just so much freedom of action on the behalf of countries as is coherent with their responsibility, within international law and principles, to authorize the application of uniform independence or freedom of action by their sister countries. The League agreement had assured all States in their application of this sovereignty free from coercion by other Countries, and he who desires more is actually in search of the authorization thoughtlessly to ignore these commitments -- to refuse, for instance, the fair rulings of a properly established tribunal -- which is the German perception of independence."

Nationalism and the Founding of Nations, 2007.
A discussion of whether it is nationalism which engenders nations or the opposite.

Abstract
This paper argues the case in favor of the stance that nationalism engenders nations, and not the other way around. The paper points out that there has yet to be any real consensus reached among historians regarding this question. It asserts that a large proportion of this debate relies on the context in which the argument is made, i.e. the time-frame and historical references used. Furthermore, definitions of the terms "nationalism" and "nation" vary from one source to another. The paper attempts to define these key terms. The interaction between nations and nationalism is analyzed using the nationalist movement of eighteenth and nineteenth century Germany as a reference point. The paper concludes that analyzing the origins of the nationalist movement illustrates how nationalism preceded the nation.
From the Paper
"It has already been said that a nation is not something overly definitive, so how can we justify its existence? It is generally accepted that any nation of people exists because that certain group of people have something or some things in common; race, language, culture, history etc. But it is inadequate to define a nation by describing it as an entity in which all individuals share common characteristics, because there will always be exceptions to the rule. Yet, if we try to define a nation using only a single rule, e.g. the necessity of a shared culture, then we narrow it down to too fine a focus, and potentially exclude a large number of people who identify themselves as being part of that nation. Renan, for example, championed heritage and the shared "heroic past" of a people as the only required component of a nation."

Abstract
In this article, the writer compares and contrasts the League of Nations and the United Nations as international organizations formed to maintain peace and international cooperation. The writer discusses the League's role in reducing international tensions and its limited effectiveness. Further, the writer discusses the complexity of the United Nations as an organization.
From the Paper
Inis L. Claude stated that 'One World' is in some respects an idea land an aspiration born of modern interpretations of ancient moral thoughts and of rational estimates of the requirements for human survival. Both the League of Nations and its successor the United Nations were created as international organizations with a vested interest in maintaining the peace, preventing war, creating a mechanism or set of mechanisms for international cooperation and diplomacy and otherwise serving as trustees of ...

Nation - Nation State, 2002.
Defining the difference between a nation and a nation-state.
1,800 words (approx. 7.2 pages), 6 sources, MLA, £ 39.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Even though these concepts seem very similar, this paper uses contemporary examples to show the difference between a nation and a nation-state. It discusses the history of Zionism, the "Nation of Islam" quest by African-Americans, and the ongoing wars in the Balkans. It also looks at different factors taken into account when defining these concepts - religion, history and culture.
From the Paper
"Defining the difference between a nation and a nation-state can seem more like a bit of philosophical hair-splitting than a useful distinction for a political scientist to make in analyzing the present global situation. However, to better understand the assumptions that underline the terms of ?nation? and ?nation state? it is useful to unpack such concepts before passing judgement on what is a nation or a nation state in the real world of lived political existence."
