September 11 and the New Emerging International Order America and Europe in the New World Order
This is a paper that outlines the international order in American and Europe in the formation of New World Order. It has 11 sources.
As the War in Iraq takes place, and people hope for a quick end to all conflicts around them there is deep thought continuously being given to the emergence of a new world order. People aren't really sure in which direction military conflicts are going to talk them. Most people are afraid, and they are rightly so, because presently nothing is certain at all.
IT seems on one hand there is a dominant American nationalist move to take control gradually of all the weaker countries that it might be able to exploit. On the other hand it is hardly seems likely that Europe would stand by and watch the Americans do this. The split that was experienced in the European Union for sometime before the war in Iraq indicates that there is something missing. It is indeed odd that since September 11th Britain has remained faithful to the Americans while other supporting countries have played a less effective role in operations against terrorism.
It didn't take the world long to get into Afghanistan after the U.S. was attacked on the 11th of September by terrorists. But since then, people are skeptical about U.S. moves while Britain gives it almost full support.
Is it possible that Britain and the U.S. have decided to collaborate and dominate the world? Is Britain grateful for that the U.S. stepped in and ended the 2nd World War? But politics isn't about being grateful. It is about gaining the most and securing one's future. Is it possible that Britain or Europe is allowing the U.S. To spearhead all operations so that it will be able to take over from them in the future? (The next empire, 2001)
At the end of the Second World War, many European countries were left in a pathetic condition, and so, they had to find a way of reconstructing their economy. From 1945 to 1949, Western European countries and their North American allies also kept a close watch over the activities and the policies of the U.S.S.R. This was a period of stress for these countries, which most of the world was not aware of at that time, and few saw the significance of forming such a body for security.
The purpose that the world did see as rational for forming an alliance was because of the prevailing economic conditions and not security. However, the relationship between Europe and the U.S. may have been strengthened since that time. This is something that may have been planned a long way back so that in the end the Europeans would emerge in the end as the ultimate leaders. This is because of the fact that they have exhibited qualities of planning through which they get countries to act the way that they want them to (Mandelson, 2003).
Between 1945-1947, just after the Second World War, there was immense fear that the Communist USSR would try and attack the Democratic countries. The idea of them doing this would be to convert these Democratic countries to Socialist states. Fearing that this would mean the snatching of individual rights, the Democratic countries wanted to secure themselves against very possible attacks, and so, the countries in the North Atlantic region (initially 12) came together in 1949 to form what is called the 'North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
The members of NATO "reaffirm their faith in the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and their desire to live in peace with all peoples and all governments." They are devoted to assuring the sovereignty, common heritage and civilization of all members. All these promises strictly lie in the belief of democracy, individual liberty and the rule of law. NATO seeks to promote stability and well-being in the North Atlantic area. They have decided to "unite their efforts for collective defense and for the preservation of peace and security" (The North Atlantic Treaty, 2002).
The North Atlantic Alliance was formed basically because of the wishes of its members to co-operate and work to ensure the security of their countries. These members have come together of their own free will and have not been forced to join the alliance as some countries might feel.
A critic could say that perhaps more members joined because they either feared being left out of the alliance, which could allow oppressors...
Under huge amounts of political pressure, and suffering from cancer, the Shah left Iran on January 16, 1979, and on February 1 Khomeini arrived at the airport in Tehran where an estimated "three million people lined the streets" to welcome the religious leader, DeFronzo continued. Shortly, the Iranian military pledged loyalty to Khomeini The debate over what form of government would replace the Shah's fascist state did not last very
Although they have failed to put an end to Iran's terrorist acts, U.S. sanctions applied to Iran since the revolution of 1979 have influenced Iran considerably. The main tool of foreign policy that the U.S. has used in the case of Iran has been financial pressure, especially through blocking International Monetary Fund and World Bank funding to Iran, which has greatly enhanced the country's debt crisis. Also, the U.S. has
Iran and Islamic Fundamentalism For the past three decades, Iran has developed as an Islamic fundamentalist state that has constantly subdued dissent. While the various leaders have tried to establish secularization of Iran in the recent past, these attempts have always been repressed since they promote dissenting views and liberalize people's lifestyles. The development of Iran as an Islamic fundamentalist state has largely been influenced by Islamic fundamentalism during the Iranian
Thus while Khomeini wanted to establish an Islamic Revolution, the Shia and the Sunni viewed his as a man wanting to attain power through the exploitation of the religious disputes between the two. At the same time however, there were strong religious Shias that considered the Ayatollah as the divine presence on Earth and they obeyed him. Even so, the religious aspect played a major role in the conflicts
Subsequently there is a "...hunger for reforms, for more freedom and accommodation with the west." (Asghar a.) This movement of the progressive youth as well other sectors of the population, such as women, was clearly seen in the 1999 unrest in Iran where mainly university students took to the streets of Tehran in order to express their dissatisfaction with the orthodox regime. There were more than 20,000 students who took part
Iranian Cinema After the Revolution An introduction to Iran: Iran or Persia as it was previously known was founded more than 4,000 years ago and is thus one of the oldest surviving nations of the world. Iran had been primarily ruled by series of dynasties including such illustrious families as the Achaemenids (500-330 B.C.), the Sassanians (A.D. 226-650), and the Safavides (1500-1722). Iranian dynasties have been synonymous with victories and land acquisition
