Analysis of Security Policy-making in China, India, and the United States
[ send me this essay ]
This 14 page report discusses the fact that security policy-making in the United States, China, and India is particularly relevant in the opening years of the 21st century for some relatively obvious reasons. First, China and India represent the two most populated nations in the world. Second, they are world powers emerging into a new sense of their own position and strength in the markets and politics of the modern world. The U.S. plays an essential role in both of their affairs as it does in all other nations’ security issues since it is the wealthiest and arguably most powerful nation in the world. And, of course, the ideologies of all three nations have an undeniably significant impact on literally billions of people. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

Book Review of “Gandhi: A Life” by Yogesh Chadha
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page book review of “Gandhi: A Life” by Yogesh Chadha (1997). Gandhi’s peaceful process was integral in the negotiations of the independence of India and while his methods may have seemed against many of the traditions of the Hindus, his acceptance of other religions and Western ways paved the way for a new and independent India. While Chadha used historical methods to relate the biography of Gandhi and tries to strip away several myths about the saint, he at the same time shows how Gandhi in his open, accepting and non-violent resistance was able to unite the Indian people toward a new independence even at the cost of his own life.
