 Post-Cold War World

This paper will consider a contrast between the two following major themes. First, the post-Cold War world has been marked by a global context of expanding transnational threats demanding increased cooperation among nation-states. Second, the years since the end of the Cold War are characterized by a diffusion of power and, especially in the past few years, increased rivalry and tension between the United States and competing powers China and Russia. You will essentially evaluate the tension between the cooperation required to deal effectively with transnational challenges and the competition among the great powers that sometimes impedes such cooperation.

More specifically, you are asked to address whether cooperation on the post Cold War transnational challenges threaten national power, interests and sovereignty. This essay will address the central policy conundrum of whether the leading states can cooperate on matters vital to all of humanity at acceptable costs to themselves and everyone else?

REQUIRED:
Choose two modern transnational challenges (either terrorism, economic globalization, infectious diseases or climate change), and evaluate how national security and global security are interdependent in context of the challenges.

ALSO REQUIRED:
Answer the following two questions relating to your two chosen modern global policy challenges-

1. Why are terrorism, globalization, diseases, or climate change multifaceted in terms of how they are defined as policy problems? Specifically, how are they viewed as economic, political, and/or environmental policy problems, and also security ones? Explain these dimensions for your set of two challenging policy problems.

2. Do you find a clash between the interests of sovereign states and the demands of fully addressing your two policy problems (i.e., terrorism, globalization, diseases, or climate change)? How might these tradeoffs be resolved to find effective global solutions to your policy problems, and what, in your opinion, is the likelihood of effective cooperation on your two policy problems?

PAPER FORMAT-
Essay should include each of the following attributes-

1.title page
2.Well-developed introductory paragraph explaining the purpose of the essay and briefly referencing some of the main points/contentions offered in the essay
3.The body of the essay should consist of your effort to best answer the questions from the assignment prompt
4. A concise concluding paragraph that briefly restates both the purpose of the essay as well as some of the primary argument offered ***Be sure the concluding paragraph does not introduce new information!***

Immigration and Boarder Security in United States

Background information: Managing the flow of people and goods into the United States is critical to maintaining our national security.

Illegal aliens compromised the security of our Nation by illegally entering the United States or overstaying their authorized period of admission.

Illegal aliens who enter the United States and those who overstay their visas disregard our national sovereignty, threaten our national security, compromise our public safety, exploit our social welfare programs, and ignore lawful immigration processes.

As a result, DHS is implementing a comprehensive border security approach to secure and maintain our borders, prevent and intercept foreign threats so they do not reach U.S. soil, enforce immigration laws throughout the United States, and properly administer immigration benefits.

DHS faces a difficult challenge at the border. The agency must impose policies that facilitate legal trade while curtailing illegal trade. DHS must design strategies to protect the legal flow of aliens into the U.S. while identifying and stopping those who attempt to enter illegally. How does an agency pursue strategies that accomplish both goals in a manner respectful of our our Constitution.

Explain Ferguson’s argument, including her definition of “choice feminism” and whatever term you decide to use, especially if you decide to opt for “third-wave feminism”

/in /by

In Michaele Ferguson’s article “Choice Feminism and the Fear of Politics,” she writes that,
“Choice feminism evinces a fear of politics. It aims to avoid having to make judgments, to avoid taking controversial stands that might offend and exclude, and to de-radicalize feminist
claims” (248). Do you agree with this claim? In your response, make sure to:

• Explain Ferguson’s argument, including her definition of “choice feminism” and
whatever term you decide to use, especially if you decide to opt for “third-wave
feminism”

• Use at least one other reading from Tuesday, August 10 – Snyder-Hall or Hirschmann –in your response

• Think about the stakes. Why is this important, especially in movement politics?

Our Struggle for Freedom, Civil Liberties and Political Equity

For the initial post, respond to one of the following options, and label the beginning of your post indicating either Option 1 or Option 2:

Option 1: The Equal Rights Amendment was first proposed almost a century ago and has still not been added to the United States Constitution. It is supposed to guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex.

It was first introduced to Congress by Alice Paul, leader of women’s suffrage movement in 1923. Compare/contrast the Equal Rights Amendment with the Fourteenth Amendment. Did they deal with separate concepts? Explain your answer.

Option 2: The Bill of Rights is not only included with the United States Constitution but also state constitutions. All states have provisions in their constitutions that protect individual rights.

Go online and look up your state constitution concerning amendments that are included in the Bill of Rights. How does your state constitution protect your individual rights?

Be sure to make connections between your ideas and conclusions and the research, concepts, terms, and theory we are discussing this week.

 

What was the resulting impact of the ruling? How did the citizens of your state benefit from it? Was this a good decision?

This assignment is comprised of 2 parts, the first of which is due this week. Part II will be due in Week 7.

In Part I this week, choose a case from your state that involves civil rights or civil liberties that wound its way up to the United States Supreme Court.

If your state does not have a case that ended up in the United States Supreme Court, choose a civil rights case from another state that ended up in the Supreme Court of the United States.

Here is a brief description of civil rights and civil liberties: Civil rights refers to equal social opportunities under the law. It gives you these freedoms such as the right to vote, the right to public education, or a fair trial, among other things, regardless of your wealth or race.

Civil liberties mean freedom of religion, equal treatment and due process under the law, and the right to privacy.

You should be able to go online and look up your state and famous cases that ended up in the Supreme Court. For example, Brown v Board of Education (1951) started in Topeka, Kansas and ended up in the Supreme Court of the United States. Another example would be Calvary Chapel Dayton Valley v Steve Sisolak, Governor of Nevada (2020) that started in Nevada and ended up the United States Supreme Court.

Research your court case and write an outline of the case that you will be using to prepare a presentation, which will either be a narrated PowerPoint, a Kaltura Video, or some other format as approved by your instructor. Be sure to verify the presentation format with your instructor before starting work on this assignment.

This week’s assignment should include (a) summary of the case; (b) a case outline; and a summary.

A. Summary of the Case

In one or two paragraphs, provide a general overview of the case that serves as a snapshot of what the case is about and how it ended up in your state high court. A summary is using your words to write a brief history of the case. Do not give your opinion or your interpretation but stick to the facts only.

B: Case Outline

Your court case outline should include:

Title: Name of the case

Facts of the case: Provide key facts involving the case.

History of the case: What legal action was taken based on what your state laws say about this case?

Legal questions: What were the legal issues the court had to decide?

Decision or holdings: Did the court decide for the plaintiff or the defendant? Explain the reason behind the decision?

Verdict and opinion (judgement): What were the concurring and dissenting opinions? How many judges decided for the defendant and how many justices decided against the defendant? What was the final verdict from the judge or the jury, if it was a jury trial?

C. Conclusion

What was the resulting impact of the ruling? How did the citizens of your state benefit from it? Was this a good decision?

Representation in Congress

Research the proportion of women, African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans and openly gay or lesbian members of Congress.

Reflect on what these patterns say about the nature of representation.

Why do some groups tend to be underrepresented in Congress?

Why do you see a trend in which more women and minorities are being represented?

Do you think the under representation of women and minorities affect Congress’s business?

Questions
1. Local government and politics need visibility. City and county governments hold meetings on a regular basis and students rarely attend. Yet issues relevant to students are often discussed at these meetings, like increases in street parking fines, zoning for off-campus housing, and tax incentives for new businesses that employ part-time student labor. Another area of governance that affect students are the university or college’s Board of Trustee meetings. These cover topics like tuition increases, class cuts, and changes to student conduct policies. You might be the one to notify your peers of changes that affect them. College students need a voice. Why not become a citizen journalist? What local meetings could you cover? What issues are important to you and your peers?

2. Explain the development of political parties in the United States. Be sure to begin with the Revolutionary War until present.
