Philosophies of Government in US and World Affairs Since World War II
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing the revisionist, realist and liberalist relations with the Soviet Union and NATO, primary players in world politics since the end of World War II. US involvement with them has fallen into clear schools of thought, taking several approaches. Those of revisionism, realism and liberalism are discussed here. Liberalism has been the rule concerning NATO, and even ultimate focus of US relations with the former Soviet Union was that of liberalism. Though necessarily realist in assessing conditions as they existed, the US did not act from that perspective at all when Mikhail Gorbechev presented avenues by which those relations could take on a more liberalist slant. All of these schools have been used over the decades, but it is liberalism to which we consistently seem to gravitate. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Stalin's Rule / Leninist Or Otherwise?
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. There have been many changes from the time Stalin took over for Lenin's leadership; however, it is clear by witnessing the style of leadership Stalin exhibited that he was greatly influenced by Lenin. In fact, it can be argued that Stalin did not take over after Lenin's death; rather, he ascended to it by way of taking example from the late leader's strategy. Many have contended that Lenin groomed Stalin for the position by establishing a system of learning that enabled Stalin to carry forth a great deal of the typical daily government business, as well as tend to a number of domestic and foreign policy issues. However, others assert that as Lenin neared the end, he developed doubts concerning Stalin's ability to take over such a monumental task. The writer discusses whether or not Stalin's rule was influenced by Leninism. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
