Anti-Communism And American Foreign Policy: 1945-1970
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Historians have advanced two broad theories about the role of anti-Communism in American foreign policy after 1945.

Second World War. In the second, anti-Communism policy and rhetoric comes and goes, sometimes driving policy and social life, sometimes serving as the rational for foreign policy decisions based on other concerns, and sometimes not being a
factor at all as other issues took precedence. The writer discusses anti-Communism and American foreign policy between 1945 and 1970. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

An 8 page paper discussing the future of America's political parties.

Aristotle: Valuing Feelings And Materialism Over Politics?
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. There are those who believe Aristotle's main interest reflected a non-political capacity, such as relations of friendship (feelings) and of property (materialistic) over and above that of true political theory.
