Neuware - Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2006 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict Studies, Security, grade: A, University of Malta, language: English, abstract: Angolan nationalist movements' struggle for independence (gained in 1975) against the Portuguese colonial power was to transform into an intrastate conflict between the parties: MPLA, backed by Cuba, and the FNLA plus Unita, backed by South Africa and the United States (US); and into an interstate conflict entangled within the Cold War scenario, so as to involve outsiders such as the Soviet Union, the US, Cuba and South Africa, each seeking to 'shape an outcome that would advance its perceived interests'.1This paper will attempt to address the question of how third party intervention, in this case the US renders resolution of the conflict more difficult because of its primary concern being its own narrow self-interest.1 D.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2006 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: USA, grade: A, University of Malta, language: English, abstract: Since the period of American Revolution, the idea of democracy has become rooted in American culture and traditions. Democracy was and is still considered as a successful means for order, peace and prosperity in a country but also internationally among democratic nations. Prosperity is for instance found in the establishment of free trade, as it suggests that democratic countries would rather seek the benefits of trading with each other rather than waging a war and face its costs. Regarding US foreign policy, democracy has evolved as being a foreign policy objective, which implies contradicting types of interventions, i.e. the need to spread democracy and even wage war for it as opposed to the toppling of democratically elected government which are not keen to contribute to US interests. Democracy has thus raised criticisms and praises, with those seeing it as part of the US rhetoric to respond to corporations interests or that the US has been ineffective in spreading it, and those who see it as part of a US liberal strategy for international order. The export of democracy hence became a controversial question since it has been argued that democracy need to grow locally and thus a mission to spread it is part of an unrealistic policy. In the context of these different issues, this assignment will address the question as to whether 'the spread of democracy has always been a cornerstone of US foreign policy.'.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2007 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Public International Law and Human Rights, grade: B+, University of Malta, language: English, abstract: The dispersion and fragmentation of power in the community of states system, developed since the 1648 Peace of Westphalia, lie within a 'horizontal' framework of international relations. Such structure bears an anarchical nature, that is, there is not yet one world government to enforce international law and proper sanctions, nor an effective court system. Indeed so far, states seem to rather pursue their own interests, as they are still being the main actors under the remit of international law. Cassese argues that, states' power of legal rules' 'auto-interpretation' is 'a power that necessarily follows from the absence of courts endowed with general and compulsory jurisdiction'.1This assignment, with its different sections, will attempt to address the question: 'Where does the greatest weakness of international law lie: in its lack of a legislature, in its lack of an effective system of courts or in its lack of sanctions '.…
