Abstract
The paper deals with globalization and the problems it creates for the development of political values and goals in the nation-state.

From the Paper
"The interconnectedness of the world since the early 1990s has been described principally as globalization. The move to what has been called the ?global village? has emphasized borderless activity, opening up of markets, sharing of technology, human capital, skills and experience, as well ideas of political development and culture. This is not to say the idea of globalization is new, as from the beginnings of the industrial revolution in the mid 1900s, in European countries and elsewhere, trends and traces of what has now been so termed, popularly, has always been existent, but not until the late 20th century made distinct and given widespread attention."

From the Paper
"The theory of democratic peace holds that liberal democracies almost never go to war with one another. Part of the reason for this is economic, and the theory holds that an open market such as is common in democratic countries. Numerous studies could be cited to show support for the democratic peace theory. Democracies have a common culture, which ties them together in a way that prevents war. Democracies are subject to the rule of law, which is another force for peace as the population is more accustomed to settling differences through arbitration than fighting. America has been held out as the most important example of modern liberal democracy, with American political development seen as the working out of liberal democratic or republican principles in terms of both "liberalizing" and "democratizing" socioeconomic changes. Illiberal and undemocratic beliefs and practices are seen as no more than expressions of ..."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper illustrates that nationalism focuses on ethnicity and nationality, with or without the race aspect, as the central characteristic of the individual and as the primary source of loyalty for the group. The paper explains that socialism, on the other hand, focuses on economic class as the central characteristic of the individual and as the primary social bond. Due to these differences, the paper contends that the two schools of thought have different opinions on what makes a government legitimate, how democracy should function within the state, the meaning and residence of power, and the basic definition of the nation.
From the Paper
"The way in which rampant nationalism guides nations today is evident in the history of Bush's war on Terror. A great deal of documentation indicates that this war was fought largely for social and economic gain for the nation, and it was justified through rampant nationalism in the media. Through the use of rhetoric elevating the socio-cultural traditions of America and its apple-pie, and the simultaneous equation of terrorism, human rights violations and some vague threats of "mass destruction" emanating from a specified Islamic countries, the people of the states united behind the war effort to subdue Iraq. According to a conservative website, "America's war with terror is unique in our history in that its people are directly involved. The high degree of their emotional involvement...The nationalistic feelings of the American people pose ... opportunities for the Bush Administration in the war on terror." (Holsinger) Similar trends were seen in Italy or Japan during the early stages of the most recent World War."

Analyzing Cartelism versus Nationalism in Zinn, 2005.
An examination of the work of Howard Zinn, and the war in Iraq.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 2 sources, AU$ 71.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how the element of national patriotism in a national identity is lost when cartels in the American government create wars that work in their self-interest. The writer proposes that Howard Zinn carefully understands the nature of government, and defies the sense of outward and superficial patriotism that is driving a corporate war in Iraq. The writer argues that the soldiers in the Iraq War are not fighting for their country, but are being lured into a war that serves a select elite few in governmental cartels, especially those relating to oil.
From the Paper
"This political and governmental study will contrast two articles by Howard Zinn and Elie Wiesel. In this manner, Wiesel offers an ethnocentric view of American national identity, which overlooks the atrocities caused by cartelism. In essence, Howard Zinn gives a more empirical historical, economic, and governmental to detail the greater truth of American cartelism over the democratic principles that Wiesel defines through a nationalized idealization of America today. The basis of Zinn's article reflects on the notion of 'cartels', which are defined a group of countries or companies that rule a nation by controlling prices on goods that are both imported and exported. The problem in America, Zinn argues, is that dying (in war) for one's country is different that dying for the government: Those who died in this war did not die for their country."

National Interest versus World Interest, 2004.
This paper discusses whether nations should put the concerns of the global community ahead of their own nation's concerns.
678 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 2 sources, MLA, AU$ 38.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This article raises the question whether the concerns of the global community should be placed before their own nation's concerns. This matter is answered by suggesting that a nation's long-term interest is in fact bound up with the interests of the world community. In this paper, the writer's analysis is based on the beliefs of Sun Tzu and Machiavelli.
From the Paper
"Should nations put the interests of the world community ahead of purely national interests? At first glance, this proposition is likely to sound admirable but perhaps naive. However, the question may also lead us to consider where nations' long-term interests lie. Small weak nations certainly have an interest in a peaceful world community in which more powerful nations will not threaten or oppress them. Even large powerful nations however, may well find it in their own long-term interest to put world interests first."

Globalization and National Governance, 2002.
The paper explores the question whether globalization brings positive change or whether it describes the organized attempt to exploit the poor and the less fortunate citizens of the world for the benefit of the rich.

Abstract
The paper discusses the arguments for and against globalization. It shows that opponents for globalization are not against globalization itself - rather, the opposition is against threats to the environment, degradation of the poor and other ills that globalization may bring. It shows on the other hand activists for globalization who cite that globalization is necessary to push developing countries into the 21st century; offering much needed jobs and economic stimulation. The paper discusses how the case for global governance remains split between those who do not want to relinquish their constitutional rights and those who believe that global governance is necessary in this day and age.
From the Paper
"At an Economic Forum in Australia in 2000 Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft and multi millionaire expressed his agreement with globalisation. Mr. Gates points out that living standards have gone up and poorer countries are now able to buy the necessities such as medicine. Mr. Gates also adds that if globalisation is hindered the biggest losers will be the deprived citizens of the world. Even though Mr. Gates offers no qualifying data to support his opinion, the International Monetary Fund reported that social standards around the world has increased as United Nations Human Development Indicators divulge."

Globalization and Developing Nations, 2005.
An examination of how globalization has subordinated national sovereignty in developing countries.
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 1 source, AU$ 57.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The following paper outlines how third-world sovereignty has been diminished by globalization. Chiefly, the paper looks at the realities of an interconnected global economy as well as the rise of new technologies that make it easier for MNCs and NGOs to move capital and human resources across national borders. The paper also looks at what all of this means as well for big business.
From the Paper
"Globalization has greatly impacted the sovereignty of developing countries in two fundamental ways: it has made the national governments of fledgling states vulnerable to control at the hands of western multinationals; and it has compelled non-western nations to adopt western labour standards and western labour regulations. As it pertains to international business, it may be said that the subordination of third-world sovereignty to globalizing phenomena is a double-edged sword insofar as, yes, international business can more easily than ever before transport its business holdings and assets to countries congenial to its interests but, at the same time, the western labour standards the international business community eagerly seeks to avoid can be enforced even in third-world states."

Globalization and the Nation State, 2002.
Examines the effect of globalization on everyday life in western capitalist societies.

Abstract
This paper will discuss the end of the nation state as we presently know it. Though there is plenty of evidence to support the notion that nationalism is on the rise in many states (witness the widespread incidence of civil wars in other countries) the paper offers the rebuttal that all states, emerging, new, and old, will be overrun by the process of globalization before long, given its current force. The nation state is simply an outmoded form of political and economic organization that is not capable of dealing with the forces that are prying upon it. Only the end of globalization can restore full life to the nation state.

Globalism and the Nation State, 2005.
A position paper referring to M. Veseth's critique of the propaganda of globalization,.

Abstract
This paper looks at M. Veseth's critique of the propaganda of globalization, noting that the nation state is not declining, or disappearing, as we are told by governments, or theorists. Instead, countries are becoming colonies within a neo-liberal and mainly American-led empire. The individual needs to scrutinise developments closely. The paper also discusses the helpfulness of the multicultural city such as Toronto where information is easily obtained on developments, elsewhere.
From the Paper
"This paper is written by a resident of Toronto, Canada, one of the world's most multi ethnic cities, a centre that offers access to limitless opinion on developments in more than 100 countries from which Toronto's residents come, or of which they have other experience. It is quite possible to have an outlook of globalism if living in Toronto, yet one is strongly aware of being in Canada, a distinctive country, whatever has been written about the 'retreat of state', as argued by Strange, in a diffusion of national power to the global level."

Abstract
This paper analyzes globalization in developing countries, contrasting the arguments made by neoliberal theorists and dependency theorists. The paper quotes the argument that the key factor limiting development in much of the world is the continued dominance of rent-collecting elites, neither caused by nor eliminated by globalization.
From the Paper
"In the last few years, globalization has become a topic of global controversy. Since the late ?'s, major trade conferences and other institutional events associated with economic globalization have become regular sites of mass protests, the protesters evidently being fully as globalized in character as the organizations that they are protesting against. Many of the specific objections to economic globalization are local in spite of the global scope of the anti-globalization movement."

The League of Nations and the United Nations, 2005.
This paper discusses the participation of the U.S. in the League of Nations and the United Nations as an element of the American national interest.
1,730 words (approx. 6.9 pages), 15 sources, APA, AU$ 89.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, although the U. S. failed to support the League of Nations, America supported the United Nations because the supreme national interest of America was to obtain a world atmosphere in which the United States could grow its inner social values devoid of undue commotion or danger from the outside. The author points out that collective action via the United Nations instead of unilateral action was considered politically viable on key political issues. The paper concludes that the League of Nations and the United Nations disappointed hopes the following the two world wars because, in no way, can they be an autonomous political power; at best, the U.N. is a mirror image of the opposing interest of autonomous states.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the United States of America the major disagreement on both the groundwork venture and the refined Covenant of the League of Nations had been on the base that the League would function as an intrusion with the sovereignty of America and with the Monroe principle, that it concerned desertion of the traditional American policy, which had not been in favor of entrapped coalitions, and that the government did not have the power, within its Constitution, to insert such an agreement . Independence has revealed to be just so much freedom of action on the behalf of countries as is coherent with their responsibility, within international law and principles, to authorize the application of uniform independence or freedom of action by their sister countries. The League agreement had assured all States in their application of this sovereignty free from coercion by other Countries, and he who desires more is actually in search of the authorization thoughtlessly to ignore these commitments -- to refuse, for instance, the fair rulings of a properly established tribunal -- which is the German perception of independence."
