Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Globalization, Political Economics, grade: 1,7 (A-), University of Sussex, language: English, abstract: This paper deals with the question whether the City of London acted as an offshore financial centre since the Second World War. This in turn is linked to the specific role London played in the liberalisation and deregulation of international finance which took place at an increasing pace since the 1970s. Special attention is paid to the rise of the so-called euromarkets and why this development was tolerated by the Bank of England.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: USA, grade: 1,3, University of Potsdam, language: English, abstract: This paper argues that relations between China and the US are defined by both symbiosis and competition. A symbiosis exists between both countries in the economic realm - fostered by huge flows of trade, investment and finance. By massively accumulating dollars China provides finance to the US, which in turn buys the bulk of Chinese exports. In the geopolitical arena Beijing and Washington are latent competitors. China tries to engineer a 'peaceful rise' to once again become a respected power, while the US is not willing to accept a peer competitor.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Intermediate Examination Paper from the year 2003 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Miscellaneous, grade: 2,3 (B), University of Göttingen, language: English, abstract: Winston Churchill coined the term Special Relationship in his famous speech in Fulton, Missouri in 1946. This term characterises the unparalleled close Anglo-American relations during the Second World War and in the time thereafter. The shared perception that Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union constituted major external threats to their well-being bound the societies and leaderships of Great Britain and the United States together. The looming menace ceased to exist after the break-up of the Soviet Union and the demise of Communism, and for several authors so did the raison d¿être of the Special Relationship as well.It was more however that brought these two countries together than the shared perception of a communist threat. Why is it that ¿neither country has fully adjusted its mind to thinking of the members of the other society as foreigners¿, and that Americans still refer to Britain as the ¿mother country¿ every now and then Why do certain authors call Britain the ¿fortified outpost of the Anglo-Saxon race¿ or the ¿unsinkable aircraft carrier¿ And is it just by chance that fictional author George Orwell calls Britain ¿Airstrip One¿ and associates it with North America in his novel ¿1984¿ Is it a coincidence or are these ¿ admittedly vague ¿ expressions signs of subtle yet overarching bonds between the two countries This work will analyse and discuss various aspects of Anglo-American relations. The apparent cooperation in the fields of foreign and security policy will be assessed, as well as the more disguised realm of military and intelligence collaboration. Following is a chapter about two aspects that dominate our time, economy and business in the Anglo-American relationship. The last chapter attempts to illuminate the obscure field of ¿private¿ relations between the Anglo-American nations, as well as the importance of the personal relationships between the individual Presidents and Prime Ministers. For a better understanding of Anglo-American Affairs the common backgrounds of the two countries are assessed historically, culturally and in terms of language. The question or the leitmotif on which this work is be based asks whether the concept of a Special Relationship in current Anglo-American relations is still a de facto reality or just a myth, that lingers on from the shared experience of the two World wars:Does the weary British Lion still enjoy a remarkably ¿special¿ relationship with the almighty American Eagle Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 32 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Bachelor Thesis from the year 2004 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Globalization, Political Economics, grade: 1,7 (A-), University of Sussex, language: English, abstract: Globalisation is one of the most debated topics of our times and is said to transform the economic and social spheres around the globe in a drastic manner. However, globalisation is a highly complex concept and not easily graspable. There are two extreme points of view regarding the phenomenon of globalisation. One, termed ¿Hyperglobalist¿ claims that the world is becoming inevitably borderless and that truly global companies are the primary actors in this globalised world; states are only required to provide basic infrastructure and public goods needed by the companies (See Ohmae: ¿The Borderless World¿). A second extreme point of view, referred to as ¿Sceptical¿, maintains that states are still the main actors in the global political economy and that the worldwide economic integration of today is not unprecedented in history (See Hirst and Thompson: ¿Globalization in Question¿).It will be the task of this work to thoroughly analyse the phenomenon of globalisation and to uncover its underlying causes and its consequences for states, companies and societies around the world. One of the essential questions to answer will be, whether globalisation is a ¿natural¿ phenomenon connected to advancements in technology or a project driven by certain actors, namely the ¿Lockean heartland¿ (primarily the United States and Great Britain). The introduction and analysis of the Lockean state/society complex will be vital in this respect.In the first chapter, earlier forms of globalisation in history will be examined and embryonic forces that enabled future globalisation will be exposed. Following is a chapter about the changes in the global political economy since the end of the Second World War; various decisions and processes will be analysed that shaped the world in which we life today to a large extent.Subsequently in the third chapter, the process of globalisation itself will be examined on both theoretical and practical levels in order to understand what brought it about and what will be its consequences. This is preceded by the addressing of the ¿agent-structure debate¿ and its role in understanding globalisation. Finally the phenomenon of globalisation will be linked with the state/society complex of the ¿Lockean heartland¿, which will provide new insights into globalisation, its causes and possibly even some about its future.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 28 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: USA, grade: 1,3 (A), University of Sussex, language: English, abstract: Empires have existed during most of our known history and were dominant factors in shaping regional or world orders in their respective times. Have we know entered a period of history where empires have ceased to exist and the international system is exclusively composed of - formally independent and equal - nation-states The concept of 'empire' has recently resurfaced after the terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001 and the following campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq with several scholars claiming that the USA pursues an empire with its unilateralist stance towards other political entities and the preemptive use of its far superior military forces.The following work tries on the one hand to illuminate the concept of empire in general and on the other hand to apply it to the United States of America in order to be able to answer the question on which this paper is based. In the first chapter, it will be tried to identify the distinct characteristics of an empire and to explain why their external behavior is fundamentally different from other political entities called states. Thereafter a limited selection of historical empires will be presented in order to demonstrate how different empires have been in the course of history. Subsequently the four different types of empires analysed shall be contrasted and compared with the contemporary United States of America. In the third chapter the behavior of the United States since the end of bipolarity is assessed mostly in terms of foreign policy and the use of its military capabilities. The focus shall be laid on the period after the demise of Communism, because during the Cold War aggressive actions of the United States were very often justified as being of a defensive nature and necessary to survive the contest for global supremacy with the Soviet Union. In the last chapter the concept of the so-called 'Lockean Heartland' is presented briefly and it is analysed why it is important in understanding the position of the United States in the contemporary system of international relations.Then, why is it important if the United States really represents an empire Because, if that is the case, it will have an enormous impact for the conduct of international relations in the 21st century, as an empire behaves in a fundamentally different way than a nation-state.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Master's Thesis from the year 2007 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: USA, grade: 1,3, Humboldt-University of Berlin (Institut für Sozialwissenschaften), language: English, abstract: Power ¿ and especially economic power ¿ is one of the least researched concepts in International Relations, yet it is arguably one of the most central phenomena for this academic discipline. The purpose of this study is twofold. First, the goal is to shed some light on the obscure concept of economic power and to illuminate its many facets and varieties. One of the most important aspects will certainly be the introduction of the concept of structural power as developed by Strange. Subsequently, the insights about economic power shall be applied to the international position of the United States as it has developed since the early 1970s. This point in time has been chosen because it marks a fundamental break in the international political economy since the end of World War II, according to Helleiner and other observers. The government-led Bretton Woods system with its inherent fixed exchange rates and its intended confinement of finance to the domestic realm was effectively terminated by the US in the early 1970s. Instead, a market-led ¿non-system¿ characterised by free floating exchange rates emerged in the field of international finance.The academic and political relevance of this study lies in the fact that historically the demise of great powers ¿ and the parallel rise of competitors ¿ nearly always caused intense and violent conflict in the system of international relations. In addition, the pre-dominance (or hegemony) of states since the 17th century derived in a large part from their economic, and especially their financial power. This, in turn, is why this study seeks to find whether or not US economic power has been in decline since the 1970s.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.
