Following the Islamic Revolution of 1979, the foreign policy of Iran changed dramatically from a status quo pro-Western to a revolutionary anti-Western one. This change can be best understood on the basis of a significant identity change that was itself the result of discursive changes and the dominance of the “movement discourse” and the “movement identity” that had emerged in the course of the revolution.

Most scholars and policy makers assume that increasing the number of security forces at US, Russian, and other nuclear facilities should be part of our policy response to reduce such risks. In contrast, Sagan argues that adding redundancy to the nuclear security system can backfire by creating hidden common-mode failures, producing social shirking, and encouraging over-compensation. Better organizational practices, not more security forces, are the best route toward increased nuclear security in a dangerous world.

His theory stems from the the three parts of classical Greek psyche, comprised of appetite, spirit, and reason. Lebow thinks that strong community, and therefore order, stems from a balanced intersection of all three: strength in reason can restrain whims of appetite and spirit, by suggesting that these psychic needs are best sated by the merits of a strong community balanced by reason. Lebow thinks this leads to order, and that order is lost when there is a loss of control over appetite or spirit.

The world may now be standing on the brink of a long conflict, perhaps a new “cold war” that features small-scale, but spectacular violence. Ole Waever argues that there is a real danger that the West will once again see only what is wrong with the “other,” and will be unable to discern the overall nature and pattern of the conflict. In order to engage in constructive dialogue, he said, it is crucial that we make an effort to understand what drives the clash in the international arena and why both sides feel so threatened by one another.

Rather, Hamas won in Palestine for two main reasons. First, it conducted an excellent electoral campaign with good organization, solid candidates, and clear message to the electorate. Second, it promised good and clean governance. Hence, Hamas' strength was its platform against corruption and for social welfare.

Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy had the same assessment of the Soviet Union during the Cold War rivalry that dominated world politics in the latter half of the 20 th century: that its implacable hostility, mounting military strength, and positive ideological appeal posed a fundamental threat to the security of the United States. Both accepted the basic goals of the Truman administration's containment strategy. However, the two presidents differed in their assessments of the extent of the Soviet threat, and in their judgments about how best to counter it. This led to quite different approaches to U.S. national security during the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations.

Yet, Native Americans constituted the vast majority of those enslaved by colonial regimes in the Americas prior to 1700, and Indians played a critical role in the creation The University Archives has determined that this item is of continuing value to OSU's history.

As he explained, over the past decade, Vietnam has created an unusually high number of new provinces while simultaneously experiencing greater liberalization. According to Malesky, the dramatic growth of provinces results from the reformist strategy to further liberalization as well as various benefits to be had among elites through gerrymandering.

The contemporary reliance on international trade, which is steadily rising, means that states are increasingly dependent on foreign goods and profits, said Michael Ward. But, the growth of international commerce vastly outweighs that of productivity, meaning that we don't understand international trade as a whole.

Michael Blake, professor of philosophy at University of Washington, instead considered the ethical principles that apply to the decisions of those whose relationship to government power is less direct – such agents as ordinary citizens, political parties, unions, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Blake focused on a particular type of organization in a particular situation: human rights NGOs in cases of humanitarian intervention. Blake argued that the ethical principles that apply to the decisions of NGOs that provide humanitarian assistance are not the same as the ethical principles that apply to the decisions of governments.

Gibson, James Gibson presents a paper that directly investigates the hypothesis that truth leads to reconciliation. Based on a survey of 3,700 South Africans in 2001, Gibson gives both “truth” and “reconciliation” conceptual and operational meaning. He then reports empirical evidence that the “truth” as promulgated by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission is fairly widely accepted by South Africans, of least some degree of reconciliation characterizes South Africa today; and that the collective produced by the process (“truth”) did indeed contribute to reconciliation.

She suggested that suicide terrorism constitutes a “second iteration tactic” to accomplish the goals of terrorism; that it is always used in conjunction with other tactics, but that it is usually the more successful variant; that there are individual and organizational motivations for suicide bombings, and these are distinct; that it is directed toward multiple audiences; and that the phenomenon is spreading across the Middle East region.
