Abstract
The paper reviews Chapter 2 of "Origins of the War" by Sidney B. Fay entitled "The System of Secret Alliances, 1871-1890: Domination of the Eastern Empires". The paper looks at Fay's analysis of the consequences of the Franco-Prussian War, the allegiance of Russia, Austria and Germany known as the League of the Three Emperors and its dissolution. The paper also outlines Fay's perspective on the Austro-German Alliance, the recreation of the Alliance of the Three Emperors, the Russo-German "Re-Insurance Treaty," the Triple Alliance, Romania Alliance and Franco-Russian Alliance. In addition, the paper looks at how Fay highlights the end of the Eastern Empire domination and the wheels being set in motion toward World War I.
Outline:
Consequences of the Franco-Prussian War
League of the Three Emperors, 1872-1878
Near Eastern Crisis, 1875-1878
Austro-German Alliance of 1879
Alliance of the Three Emperors, 1881-1887
Russo-German "Re-Insurance treaty," 1887-1890
Triple Alliance of 1882
Romania Alliance of 1883
Breakdown of the Wire to Russia in 1890
German Relations, 1871-1890
From the Paper
"In this section, Fay discusses how Germany had remained politically and socially weak from the time of the Thirty Years War in the seventeenth century, and was subject to French policy, which was determined to keep Germany weak and divided. Germany dealt with the problem directly and expelled Austria from its rule by the Prussian victory at Sadowa, and established the North German Federation, although under Prussian rule. France was now the underling and Germany was the strong enemy. Bismarck was highly criticized by the French for the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine, however, Fay's view is that Bismarck was just doing what is common during war and after victory. Nonetheless, Fay surmises that this decision was so pervasive and so angered France that it became one of the main underlying causes for World War I. In essence, Fay lays the fault of World War I right on the doorstep of Germany."

Abstract
This paper reveals that globalization has been more beneficial to people in higher income levels, but has harmed people in middle and lower economic classes. The paper then discusses the beneficial aspects of globalization that include improvements in education, medicine, consumption, work and technology. The writer concludes that he expects these beneficial aspects to only improve, but he is concerned about the negative aspects of globalization, especially in terms of the burgeoning economic inequality it is generating.
From the Paper
"Our readings and class discussions indicate that globalization is controversial, for its advocates claim that it promotes general prosperity around the world and is socially benign, while its critics blame globalization for the widening gap between rich and poor throughout the world. It is evident that globalization has been beneficial to people in higher income levels, but has been much less beneficial to people in middle and lower economic classes, many of whom are in fact being harmed by globalization."

Abstract
The paper discusses how George H. W. Bush's position as director of the CIA greatly impacted his subsequent foreign policy decisions as President of the United States. The paper shows how this experience in the intelligence community enabled him to lead the United States to an impressive victory in Desert Storm and preside over the fall of communism in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union.
Outline:
Introduction
Hypothesis
George H. W. Bush as CIA Director
George H. W. Bush as President
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Unlike many other presidents who failed to adequately understand and appreciate the vital importance of the intelligence community, George H. W. Bush had the highest regard for its fundamental contributions, prioritized intelligence gathering and analysis, and made his foreign policy decisions in strict accordance with intelligence community data and analysis. His firsthand experience with intelligence issues as Director of the CIA enabled him to serve with great distinction and effectiveness as President of the United States, and empowered him to overcome the challenges imposed by Iraqi aggression in the Middle East and the chaotic collapse of the Soviet Union."

Abstract
The paper presents the thesis that the changing nature of what it means to be a European citizen in the 21st century is connected to the continent's native birth rate crisis, which has forced many European nations to significantly increase their non-native immigration. The paper discusses how immigrants are now challenging the very nature of what it means to be European and transforming the nations of which the populations are now an integral part. The paper looks at the Turks in Germany and illustrates the challenges facing further evolution of European citizenship and the difficulty of achieving an effective solution.
From the Paper
"The concept of citizenship, with its attendant rights and responsibilities, first grew up during the rise of the modern nation-state in 18th century Europe. A series of increasingly bloody continental wars in Europe created the impetus for a transformation of people's concepts of what citizenship entailed, or should entail. Through a long process of evolution, conflict, and compromise, today in the 21st century we find that concepts of what constitutes citizenship have changed along with the nations underlying that concept. This evolution has not taken place in a vacuum, but as a response or reaction to real historical situations and predicaments which current European Union policy attempts, in its way, to solve ("The European Citizenship" para 2.)"

Abstract
The paper defines globalization and looks at the problems associated with this phenomenon. The paper then discusses the power of multinational corporations and claims that the current American administration has advanced the interests of these corporations, to the detriment of American interests.
Outline:
Define Globalization
Problems Associated with Globalization
The Constitution and Globalization
From the Paper
"Globalization is the process going on primarily through the last several decades by which large corporations have integrated markets, production, and distribution across national and regional borders, achieving in the process huge profits and also achieving and exercising control over markets to a degree that has come to overshadow the powers of developing nation-states. Multi-national corporations have achieved integration of markets in that they have managed a very high degree of penetration of consumer and financial markets. They have achieved integration of production in that they have organized systems for carrying on the manufacturing and the intellectual processes for making goods and services. They have achieved integration of distribution through control of transportation systems and the development of protocols for the manipulation of tangible and intangible items of value through various bureaucracies."
