The Role of Domestic Politics in Nineteenth Century Trade Policy
This paper examines three cases of trade policy in 19th century England, France, and Germany. The relationship between domestic political pressures and international trade policy is studied. "In (these three cases), the relationship between the political system and economics can be understood by how political institutions reward the various political actors." The paper also utilizes trade models such as Heckscher-Ohlin, Stoper-Samuelson, and the Law of Comparative Advantage to help explain the trade policy decisions in these three cases. 9 pages.

Environmental Public Policy in Advanced Industrial Democracies
The current and future trends of environmental policy in advanced countries are discussed in this paper. Specifically, this paper relates the trends of increased environmental concern in advanced industrial democracies to the theory of postmodernization as promulgated by Ronald Inglehart. As cognitive mobilization takes hold, increased awareness is given to quality of life issues such as environmental protection. A brief history of the beginnings of the environmental movement is discussed; starting with Rachel Carson's book, Silent Spring, in 1962, and going through the establishment of Earth Day and environmental legislation in the early 1970s. The paper argues that there is an increasing trend towards greater environmental concern as demonstrated by recent activities as well as current issues and technological advances.

Reform in China and Russia
This paper compares the varying pace of economic and political reform in China and Russia. The paper answers the question: Can economic reform happen without political reform or can political and economic reform occur simultaneously? The paper examines the cases in the two countries. In Russia's case, economic reform and political reform were initiated simultaneously while it was still in the Soviet Union under Gorbechev. Gorbechev's reforms and Yeltsin's "shock therapy" reforms have appeared only to weaken the political structure of the country while hastening economic collapse. China, on the other hand, has pursued a policy of consistent economic reforms since 1978 while moving slow on political reform. The results in China prove that... 6 pages.

Germany Reunites after Loss of Soviet Control
This extensive research paper reviews the elements that led to the downfall of the German Democratic Republic (former East Germany). It argues that East Germany fell mainly due to the sudden loss of Soviet support under Gorbechev in the late 1980s. In that sense, the paper argues, East Germany was not strong enough by itself to be a truly independent nation. It was mostly through Soviet support and intervention that the country was able to survive. When this support evaporated, the wall fell. The paper contains numerous quotes from interviews by historian Cornelia Heins of people who lived in East Germany from political figures to housewives. Includes 7 sources. 17 pages but we'll charge you for only 16.
