What is Global War?

Global war as a historical and political subject spans multiple academic disciplines, including history, international relations, political science, and security studies. Students engage with this topic to understand how large-scale armed conflicts emerge, escalate, and reshape geopolitical boundaries, governance structures, and civilian life. The topic carries particular academic weight because it sits at the intersection of state power, law, ideology, and human rights. Recurring concerns around terrorism, peace, and the role of law enforcement in conflict zones make global war a subject with both historical depth and urgent contemporary relevance.

The papers archived on this topic reflect a wide range of analytical approaches. Some take a conflict analysis approach, examining specific wars such as the Soviet-Afghan War to assess causes, conduct, and consequences. Others focus on policy and legal dimensions, exploring institutions like Guantanamo Bay, the criminal liability of government officials, and the treatment of suspects and citizens under wartime law. Additional papers address military strategy, such as naval effectiveness in wartime Britain, while others connect global war to adjacent issues including maritime piracy, terrorism, and trauma experienced by those affected by prolonged conflict.

A strong essay on global war requires a clearly scoped thesis that identifies a specific conflict, policy, or consequence rather than attempting to address armed conflict in general. Evidence drawn from historical case studies, legal frameworks, and documented military or governmental decisions tends to carry the most analytical weight. A common pitfall is conflating different types of armed conflict without accounting for context, which weakens comparative arguments and obscures meaningful distinctions between conventional warfare, asymmetric conflict, and state-sponsored terrorism.

Is Nuclear Power a Viable Alternative to Fossil Fuels?

The science associated with global climate change points the finger at the burning of fossil fuel as a major cause for warming of the planet. Hence, an alternative must be found in time to replace coal, and the question in this paper was, is nuclear power the appropriate replacement for coal-fired plants? The answer has to be "no" because first of all the economics of building new plants makes them too expensive in a time of budget cuts and tight budgets; secondly the record of plant safety in the U.S. does not lend itself to public confidence in the technology.

Community Policing Efficacy: Programs, Evidence, and Limits

The Violent Crime Control & Law Enforcement Act of 1994 heralded the beginning of a massive effort to reform policing strategies in the United States, in part through implementation of community-policing programs at the local level. Congress has allocated billions of federal dollars over the years since to support such efforts and by the end of the 20th century, close to 90% of all police departments serving communities larger than 25,000 reported implementing community policing strategies. However, empirical studies examining the effectiveness of this style of policing are limited and most reveal a modest improvement. This report examines studies that have revealed some of the factors that contributed to the failure of community policing programs to meet the expectations of policy makers. A lack of police organizational commitment and citizen leadership are major factors that have undermined attempts to implement community policing more fully.
