Interest Group Liberalism
[ send me this paper ]
This 11 page report discusses the impact and influence of interest groups in the functions of government in the United States. Recently, it has appeared that the “people” with the best representation in the government are not individual people at all but the special interest groups that ostensibly position themselves to “represent” the thinking of the people. Bargaining groups or interests control the decisions of government and the end result is the creation of laws that apportion out the true power of the state to interest groups with the power and organization to influence government agencies, neglecting people who do not belong to such groups, and maintaining the privileges of those who do.

International Balance of Power
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing the balance of power between nations. Some political scientists want to claim that Morgenthau's realism theory of the balance of power is dead because the former Soviet Union was able to split apart without bloodshed, but few give any credence to the globalization of business and its effects on the lives of citizens of previously isolationist countries. If Chinese farmers with little access to world news can understand that there is prosperity in regions of even their country and attempt to join in, can world leaders and nations be expected to react less fervently? Of course it is ridiculous to broadly state that a run for the money is the sole reason behind the peaceful shift of power in countries around the world, but it is no less ridiculous to claim that Morgenthau's theory is any less valid now than before the breakup of the former Soviet Union.

[ send me this paper ]

Marxian Communism was considered a functional alternative to the society in which the oppressed proletariat lived within the 1800s.
