The Cold War / Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page piece that discusses the self-fulfilling prophecy of the Cold War, in that the buildup of arms against the perceived threat to borders and national economic stability, created an atmosphere of fear and annihilation. Or did it? The governments eventually moved onto the ground that there were ways to win a nuclear war. Only public outcry, and leaders such as Michel Gorbachev changed the face of the cold war.

NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization)
[ send me this paper ]
In 7 pages, the author disagrees with the statement 'As a creature of the Cold War, NATO is an institution that has outlived its usefulness and should be disbanded,' and gives reasons for that disagreement. NATO was begun as a Cold War institution, but it will continue to exist as long as there is a necessity for it to do so. NATO is just as useful in the present, as it was in the middle of the twentieth century. It is important for just such instances as the situation is Kosovo where genocide was being committed.
