Globalization has Created Two Worlds, Not One
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report discusses the idea that globalization at the start of the 21st century has proven itself to actually have created two worlds rather than one. What has also shown itself as commonplace is the fact that the “haves” have significantly more than the “have nots” and the gap that has always existed between the two has widened into a nearly impassable canyon. While economic globalization has had an impact on people around the world so has the globalization of new ways of thinking, producing, and traveling. The end results have not always been positive. Nonetheless, great potential still exists and globalization is integrated will determine the future of humanity. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Henry Kissinger and the Sinai Accords
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 13 page paper discussing Henry Kissinger’s involvement in the negotiation of the Sinai Accords and the affects of the accords on the Arab-Israeli conflict. The Sinai I and II Accords between Egypt and Israel in 1974 and 1975 were largely the result of negotiation efforts made by U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in his step-by-step process aptly named “shuttle diplomacy” between the two countries. Kissinger spent over three years intervening between Egypt and Israel eventually finding concessions which resulted in Israel’s occupying army withdrawing from parts of the Egyptian Sinai. Kissinger did not want an American presence in the Sinai but eventually both sides agreed to Sinai II only if there was an American civilian presence and American funding for an Egyptian surveillance station to match the Israeli surveillance station on either side of the buffer zone. After Kissinger’s retirement in 1977, progress in the Middle East seemed to stall and negotiations were taken up by President Carter in 1978 with the development of the Camp David Accords. While Kissinger’s peace keeping efforts were applauded, several issues within the Middle East remained untouched including the U.S. non-recognition of Palestine despite its acceptance by the UN. This caused a great deal of additional tension in the area as many of the Arab nations preferred negotiations through the UN and not those initiated by the U.S. Conflicts still continue in the Middle East despite various peace accords over the years and Kissinger himself once commented that the area must find “some solution which balances the Arab need for self-esteem with Israeli security. I’m not sure it exists”. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

How Beneficial is the IMF?
