Abstract
There can be no doubt that the study of the transitional states of Eastern Europe and Russia pose an interesting case for economic analysis. The challenges that face these countries can only be understood through a synthesis of capitalist and communist tenets. This involves comparisons and contrasts between both systems. This study will forge down precisely this path, evaluating the experiences of the post-communist states. With the sheer expanse and intensity of the previous Soviet system, it will be shown that, not only has the transition from plan to market been difficult for the countries of East Europe themselves, but also for economists who try to observe progress from afar.

Interpreting the Russian Revolutions of 1917, 2002.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The portrayal of the Russian Revolutions has at times proved so markedly different, that it is hard to believe that authors or observers are discussing the same event. This paper focuses on this discrepancy in representation, highlighting the various factors which determined the way in which 1917 has been portrayed by first-hand observers, and later, by professional historians. In a case like that of the Russian Revolutions, where the generation of ensuing scholars and interpreters of other kinds were constrained by political ideology, we will see that history became the handmaid of the totalitarian regime, particularly under Stalin and his supporters.

Abstract
The institution of slavery in the United States was a barbaric system. Without doubt, it was an institution that had its element of physical and psychological abuse and degradation. In many respects, however, it cannot be compared to the Jewish Holocaust under the Nazis. Indeed, the enormity of the Holocaust is so great that it is difficult to categorise it with other cases of mass killing or systems of oppression. This is in no way to minimise the barbarity of American slavery, but the Holocaust was, after all, the only case in history where there was the attempted destruction of an entire group of people.

Abstract
Between 1963 and 1990, the world saw unprecedented advances in technology, as well as upheavals both in the United States and abroad. Never in our nation's history did change come at such a sweeping pace. The Vietnam War galvanized protesters in numbers never before witnessed; drugs became a major problem across America and for a time our nation's leaders - both local and national - were seen as the enemy. President Richard Nixon resigned in a move unprecedented in American history. Meanwhile, the Soviet Union was undergoing massive social changes that were to culminate in the late 1980s and result in the end of Communist rule.
