From the Paper
" On the other hand, the protests in Asia impact the international managers in the meaning that they increase the awareness in regard to the problems posed on positioning their products onto a foreign country. International managers will better analyze the cultural features of their destination region and the businesses that are being developed there. In order for these companies to properly function within the new territory, they must not pose a threat to local businesses and they should present the population with products that can not be produced internally."

Abstract
This paper explores the reasons for American intervention in Vietnam, including a synopsis of presidents in office during and after this time, and their ideas of what was important to the American people and nation at or about the time of the war. This paper also describes the lessons of the Vietnam War and its consequences on American foreign policy.
From the Paper
" Entire villages had been wiped out, people, innocent civilians, not just soldiers, which is one reason the United States had reason to feel disgraced and failed to distinguish the returning soldiers from the war as heroes. This in turn took a tremendous toll on many soldiers resulting in post traumatic syndromes including long-lasting depression, aggression and sleep disorders. No other war had exacted such a toll on domestic and foreign life than did the war in Vietnam. Had the troops remained, there is no question the country as it is today would still exist, although what does exist is a small fracture or reminder of a land that used to be. Even after the war landmines were still prevalent throughout Vietnam resulting in even more deaths among the innocent."

The US and Chinese Human Rights, 2008.

Abstract
The paper asserts that the United States only refuses to impose strict economic sanctions on China because economic interests prevail over democratic principles. The paper relates that the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre forced the then President Bush to impose economic sanctions on China, but these sanctions were later reduced and have little impact anymore. The paper argues that despite the economic interests involved, the US must still assure that the Chinese government change its policy and improve its human rights practices.
From the Paper
"China is one of the few existing communist countries in the world and it has known a rapid growth in the past decades, economically speaking. Considering the growing economy and the large population, China is one of the important actors on the international scene. It is important for US to develop close relationships with China, especially in economic terms. However, the continuous disrespect and constant proofs of human rights breaking in China make it impossible for the United States, as one of the strongest advocates of human rights, to ignore the issue and develop normal economic relations with China."

Abstract
This paper discusses the revisionist views of Walter LaFeber, Arnold Offner and John Gaddis with regards to the outbreak of the Cold War. It specifically focuses on their claim that the USA and Great Britain were also responsible for the outbreak of the Cold War, as their strategy of foreign policy was short-sighted and, in many respects, lacked responsibility for the future.
From the Paper
"Drawing a conclusion, it's important to note that the ideas of revisionist authors such as Walter LaFeber, Arnold Offner and John Gaddis are based on rationalism, yet evaluation of definite political issues is made from the perspective of people who are free of "western propaganda". The cold war was inevitable already, at the end of WWII, as both super powers revealed its potential, which was hidden and undervalued in pre-war years. The Marshall Plan, which in many respects accelerated the coming of the Cold War, was also inevitable, due to the popularity of communist and socialist ideas in France, Italy and Germany, especially in years of reconstruction, when European nations lacked economic stability and bearable conditions of living. The collapse of the colonial system with its unpredictable circumstances was also more a fault of former empires, than a fault of the USA, as none of the empires appeared able to control political and social processes in their former colonies."

Abstract
This paper looks at how, in order to ascertain the degree to which states exercise their power, it is first necessary to properly analyze the components which define great powers - that is the political, military, and, most importantly, economic components. The writer then discusses several theories that quantify power in terms of these components, noting that there have been numerous examples of great powers that have exercised their political, military, and economic influence throughout the centuries. Next, the writer examines the current international scene and asserts that, at this time, the international scene is not dominated by a great power, nor should it be. The paper concludes that, while there have been numerous examples of great powers that have exercised their political, military, and economic influence throughout the centuries, at this time, and taking into account the current evolutions in international affairs in terms of security, financial supremacy and political diversity, it is hard to find a state that would fit the traditional definition of a great power.
From the Paper
"However, the range of their power cannot be compared to any subsequent definitions of the term great power due to the fact that at the time, the Hellenistic world was considered to be the only one available for states to claim. In this sense, one cannot look at the magnitude of their influence but from a military perspective. Nonetheless, in all confrontations that took place at the time victory resulted in the political domination of the adversary. The Macedonian empire under the rule of Alexander exercised complete political control over the territories it conquered. Even so, neither example can be certified as being but regional powers because of the limited amount of time they manifested their dominance."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"A significant aspect is the way that oil impacts on the economic relationship between countries. An increase in the price of oil can alter the balance of trade between counties and also affects exchange rates. This refers to the scenario in which the oil-importing countries experience a decline in their balance of payments. This exerts a negative pressure on exchange rates and results in the increase in the price of imports and a reduction in the value of exports. This in turn leads to a decline in the national income of that country. All of these facets have a long-term impact on the economy of countries. "The economic and energy policy response to a combination of higher inflation, higher unemployment, lower exchange rates and lower real output also affects the overall impact on the economy over the longer term" (Analysis of the Impact of High Oil Prices on the Global Economy)"
