Abstract
This paper emphasizes the importance of women's rights and equality within modern society. The author points out that NOW has accomplished many objectives since its inception. The paper relates that controversy and other related events have created considerable challenges for the group.
From the Paper
"In modern society, it is strongly evident that women play a critical role in the development and progress of their own cause. Women are still considered as the lesser sex in many cultures, and although extensive progress has been made regarding their advancement, there is still much to be done to facilitate the total empowerment of women in society. Many different organizations serve as activists that provide support for a wide variety of women's issues, and these serve as valuable resources in the effort to provide women with as many choices as possible."

Summary
From the Paper
"A great deal of the literature on peacekeeping revolves around perceived strengths, weaknesses and history of peacekeeping. Falk notes that liberalism, considered to be a basis of peacekeeping, is noted by some to be evidence of "generosity of spirit from a position of strength". As a belief system, therefore, liberalism will attempt to convert others, for their own good, to liberal ways of thinking. When one considers the application of peacekeeping, in a broader sense, the application of law, one must also consider if the application of law in a conflict is based upon a typically American style of jurisprudence? Does global peacekeeping also consider European or Asian elements of law as well? If not, can one say that the application of international law on a political level is appropriate ? Tammahana states this application is too broad in perspective and inadequate to the needs of the municipality. The concept of citizenship historically exerts a tension between internal and external exclusion. While peacekeepers theoretically must extend equal rights and duties to all members of the state, there generally exists a division between the parties to the conflict and the peacekeepers themselves."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts two feminist organizations with one powerful women organization to find out where the differences exist and how these organizations strive to achieve their objectives. The movements analyzed are National Organization for Women (NOW), The Feminist Majority (TFM) and Concerned Women for America (CWA). The paper shows that even though women enjoy a very prominent position in various arenas, their influence in the field of politics is still limited because of gender discrimination that persists in this male-dominated area. It shows how women mostly work through various organizations, which provide a platform to women victims nationwide. But these organizations are not always similar in nature and hence their strategies, policies and tactics differ from one another. These differences are discussed in the paper.
From the Paper
"The purpose of this discussion is to compare and contrast the policies, strategies and principles of NOW and TFM with that of CWA. Therefore the first two organizations will now be referred to as feminist organizations in order to be able to discuss their tactics simultaneously. In this paper, I will be focusing on the basic principles and functions of these organizations showing how they are striving to achieve their goals and what are the beliefs on which these organizations have laid their foundation."

Abstract
This paper uses a letter written by Martha Burk of the National Council of Women?s Organizations to the private Augusta National Golf Club protesting that no women members are allowed in the club. This letter is the starting point for the author?s argument that membership organizations can limit applicants on the basis of gender. The author counter argues that, if the objective of forcing the club to allow women members is supposed to improve the plight of working women in general, most of the arguments of Ms. Burk and her supporters appear to have little or no merit. This paper presents many arguments including that Augusta National has a clear legal right to exclude women from membership, citing the Supreme Court?s case, ?Boy Scouts of America v. Dale?.
Table of Contents
Introduction
Martha Burk?s Arguments
Counter Arguments
Position of Golfers
Arguments in Favor of Augusta National?s Position
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Adding women members to the Augusta National membership list will not improve the pay and opportunities for women in this country. While the club is composed of wealthy, influential people, it is a miniscule portion of society. Unless one is at least a casual golf fan, the Masters, the Augusta National Golf Club and its policies mean little or nothing to the average person. Ms. Burk and her supporters have failed to show that allowing women to join the club will help a significant number of women. They have simply made the unsupported gratuitous statement that it will. Actually, Ms. Burk and her organization would probably have a greater impact on more people by focusing on integrating small-town clubs that exclude people on the same basis as Augusta National does. But, of course, there would be no media attention from doing that."

Abstract
The paper explores how various organizations played important, although different, roles in the advance of black women in America.

From the Paper
"In the early twentieth century, the National Association of Colored Women (the "Association"), the Ladies Auxiliary of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters (the "Auxiliary"), and the National Council of Negro Women (the "Council") played important although different roles in the advance of blacks in America. These organizations' leaders, especially Mary Church Terrell, Mary McLeod Bethune, Dorothy Height, and Helena Wilson, shaped the rising strength of movements among black women. In their various efforts, they reflected differing attitudes on matter of class, race, and gender."

Abstract
This paper looks at the World Trade Organization, or WTO and debates whether or not the WTO has a positive effect on the world. The author takes the position that one needs a place to take disputes and set regulations for the international economy.
From the Paper
"The World Trade Organization, which was created in 1995, was the biggest reform of international trade since 1948. During the previous years, international commerce had been organized under GATT, which established a multilateral trading system. However, by the 1980s major restructuring was needed. The Uruguay Round brought about that overhaul. It was the largest trade negotiation ever."

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 ...

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.

Click here to show/hide summary
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."

Nation - Nation State, 2002.
Defining the difference between a nation and a nation-state.

»
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."

Nationalism and the Modern Nation State, 2004.
A comparison of Umut Ozkirimli?s work, entitled "Theories of Nationalism: A Critical Introduction" and Stuart J. Kaufman?s "Modern Hatreds: The Symbolic Politics of Ethnic War".
842 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 2 sources, MLA, £ 20.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines these two writers' views on nationality and concludes that, although Kaufman is more inclined to speak of ?hatreds? rather than ethnic identities, Kaufman also, like Ozkirimli, stresses the importance of understanding the emotional significance of ethnic and national identity when constructing a nation state, rather than the idea that ethnicity exists as a linear, enclosed historical trope within definable and easily recognizable boundaries;ethnicity is ?felt,? rather than historically in evidence, for both authors.
From the Paper
"The overview present in Umut Ozkirimli?s analysis is a warning not to dismiss the importance of nationalism, and also a caution not to accept certain groups? claims to nationhood wholesale and at their face value, as the concept of what constitutes ethnicity shifts and changes, depending on individual?s particular political alliances in a particular historical context. Ozkirimili?s work has a far more dispassionate tone, in contrast, to Stuart J. Kaufman?s Modern Hatreds: The Symbolic Politics of Ethnic War. Kaufman?s work, in contrast to Ozkirimli, is more stridently prescriptive in nature. However, Kaufman is also more rigorous in his use of international political theoretical frameworks to justify his suggestions to policymakers."

Quebec Nationalism vs. Canadian Nationalism, 2006.
A discussion on why nationalism is stronger in Quebec than it is in the rest of Canada.

Abstract
It is very clear that nationalism is stronger in Quebec than it is in the rest of Canada. While Quebec remains a province of federal Canada, the question of seceding from Canada and becoming an independent country is never far from the agenda of most politicians in Quebec, and generates immense patriotic fervor throughout Quebec. This factor makes Quebec entirely different from other Canadian provinces. For example, we never hear talk of British Columbia seceding from Canada and becoming the Republic of British Columbia. In order to understand this peculiar situation, this paper investigates Canada's past and, specifically, the history of Quebec with Canada.

A justification for slavery.

Abstract
This paper argues that slavery was good for blacks. The author explains that the moral justification to slavery used by Southerners was that there was an inherent 'inferiority' in dark-skinned peoples. This meant that 'superior' races had a legitimate right to control them as they saw fit.
