Conflict Resolution / State vs. Non-State Societies
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper that discusses the anthropological beginnings of the nation-state, and how states and non-states deal with social conflict. Anthropologists characterize all societies, whether states or non-states, as resolving conflict through what they call the 'universality of law.' In state societies, this has evolved to codified laws, court systems and violence--justified by John Stuart Mill. In non-state societies, peaceful arbitration and mediation are used instead. The paper seeks to contrast the two ideals. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

This compelling allegory was designed by Plato as the basis for his argument that society should be ruled by the king-philosopher, the man who had the knowledge to rule wisely based on his knowledge of philosophy.

The Present & Future Global Oil Market
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing the current and future global market share of the oil industry. All the industrialized nations that so heavily had depended on OPEC-produced oil had instituted wide-ranging conservation measures with the crisis of 1973-1974, and most of them experienced recession due in large part to the stranglehold OPEC had on their economies in the late 1970s and the 1980s. The combination of the two factors, and their influence from all of the industrialized world, served to weaken the oil market. Forecasts into the middle of the next century call for only further decline of the oil market. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
