Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made

Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Politics - International
Politics - Region: South Asia, printed single-sided, grade: A,
Webster University (International Relations), course: INTL5100,
language: English, abstract: This stud's aim is to explain why in
2008, there were food related protests in the Philippines. The
events have been analyzed using two frameworks. One examined the
four dimensions of the food security concept as presented by the
Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), to understand the dynamic
of the rice market; The other expounded the legitimacy of President
Gloria Macapagal Arroyo' s government, probing at the Philippines'
s level of democratization through an approach of historical
institutionalism. The staple crop in the Philippines is rice. If
food prices in general started to increase from 2006, rice markets
were slow off the mark. WMR wholesale prices in the Philippines
shot up in mid-2007 and reached their peak in 2008. The food unrest
critical period occurred between March 2008 and August 2008 when
prices escalated Other points deemed important will be raised even
if they happened outside of this time frame.
Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Politics - International
Politics - Region: USA, grade: A-, Webster University
(International Relations), course: The United States and its drone
program in Pakistan, language: English, abstract: The United States
of America's current lethal drone policy is still shrouded in
mystery and complexity: little official information is accessible
to the public. This document, therefore, could only raise a certain
number of issues. If there were a document detailing the said
policy, it could not be found. This paper has had to rely on other
various sources to expose the policy elements. It focuses on the
war theater in Pakistan/Afghanistan and the drone policy's lethal
elements. Firstly, the paper will delve into the development of the
U.S. drone program and the controversial use of an automatized
lethal process. Secondly, it will consider elements from the
political sphere that shaped the current policy. Thirdly, it will
analyze the implication of public opinion in Pakistan and the U.S.
Fourthly, the paper will highlight a few of the legal aspects that
influenced the drone policy before drawing a conclusion. The most
discussed element influencing the drone policy of the U.S has been
freely interpreted as the information relating to the matter
remains scarce and mostly unofficial. What looked, at first, like a
classic security versus democracy dilemma added to a member of the
U.S. intelligence community seemingly out of control, a Department
of Defense (DoD) with hardly any oversight, gave rise,
surprisingly, to a quite controlled but executive branch driven
process. One cannot ascertain however whether the safeguards in
place, were operative and respected whilst the lethal drone program
was progressing.
Essay from the year 2012 in the subject South Asian Studies,
South-Eastern Asian Studies, grade: A, - (Webster University
Thailand, International Relations), course: INTL5550, language:
English, abstract: On May 18, 2009 the Government of Sri Lanka
(GoSL) declared victory over the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam
(LTTE) and ended a 30-year conflict. The way the final phase of the
war was fought, how it ended and what happened with the Tamil
civilians and LTTE combatants at the end of the hostilities became
a controversial issue. The Security Council (SC) considered the war
and the internments of the internally displaced people (IDP) as an
internal matter. The GoSL always called the final stage of the war
a "humanitarian rescue operation" and presented its actions as part
of a large hostage rescue operation (This was based on the
well-known fact that the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE)
were holding back civilians in its territory). At the end of the
hostilities, civilians were put in overcrowded, closed camps for
"InternalIy Displaced Persons" (IDPs) with limited humanitarian
assistance where they were exposed to harassment by security forces
who were looking for LTTE fighters likely to be hiding among them.
After more than a year, on June 22, 2010 the SG announced the
appointment of an 'Experts' Panel' to inform him of the progress of
the commitment made by the GoSL after his visit in 2009. The UN
Panel of Experts completed its report at the end of March 2011 and
made it public on April 25. The Lessons Learned and Reconciliation
Commission's (LLRC) accountability initiative had by then conducted
eight months of public hearings and the GoSL was very concerned
that the earlier publication of the UN Panel report would
compromise its domestic driven initiative. Past events are the
underlying cause for a need for a reconciliation process. They are
well documented and the author has referred to them when
strengthening or clarifying an argument. The length of
