In your essay, explain the main features (objectives, mechanisms, and outcomes) of Western engagement in the Middle East in the post-Cold War era (1990-2010). Why did the EU and the US invest so many resources in the Middle East? Why did these efforts fail? With the benefit of hindsight – what could have the EU and US done to prevent the regional turmoil?Essay #2The three main theoretical schools/paradigms of IR thought – Realism, Liberalism and Constructivism – offer different readings of the Atlantic Alliance (or community) and of the challenges it faces. These readings reflect dissimilar explanations concerning the basic rationale and driving force of NATO and different expectations concerning its future. For instance, while Realists view NATO as an alliance, Liberals would focus their attention on NATO as an institution (some of them would also highlight the role of domestic politics). Constructivists, on their part, would pay attention to ideas and norms and view NATO as a community.This theoretical debate has “real world” implications: What do these different theoretical perspectives tell us about the future of the Alliance and the continuing relevance of NATO in face of a resurgent Russia? Did Russia’s intervention in Ukraine and ongoing actions against Ukraine re-unite the Alliance or have they exposed different views and interests? Discuss and opinionate and refer also to NATO’s “Enhanced Forward Presence” mission. In your answer, explain the differences in the theoretical categorizations of NATO offered by the three schools of thought.Essay #3“Contrary to former President Trump’s repeated statements, Europe’s “burden sharing” has actually improved. Many European allies have increased their defense spending towards the 2% benchmark. The track record of NATO’s European allies’ role in, and contribution to, the War in Afghanistan shows that European allies have played an increasing role. Actually, the ratio of European troops in Afghanistan has increased since the end of combat operations in Afghanistan and the transition to “Resolute Support Mission.” In NATO’s current deployment to Eastern Europe and the Baltics – “Enhanced Forward Presence”, European allies play a major role too.” Opinionate and discuss. In your essay, assess Europe’s current “burden sharing” compared to previous periods – such as the Cold War and post-Cold War periods and operations (Balkans – 1990s; Afghanistan 2004-2010). Has Europe’s “burden sharing” improved? Is Europe doing enough for its own defense?Essay #4The United States and Europe have been simply “out of sync” well before former President Trump entered office and the change of guards in the White House will not make all the challenges disappear. Since the beginning of the 21st Century, the United States and Europe find it increasingly difficult to respond to regional and global challenges in a coordinated and timely manner – be it Russia’s aggression in Ukraine and its alleged interference in Western electoral politics, the rise of China, or the turmoil in the Middle East. What are the reasons that have brought the Transatlantic allies to this point? What are the likely drivers of Transatlantic relations? Can Europe and the United States become once again “in sync”? What would it take? In your essay, use current examples to substantiate your assessment.

Over the years, there have been some good responses to various disasters, and there have also been some terrible responses. Responses to hazards generally always begin at the local level and then, depending on the hazard, can escalate to the national level. Some of this stems from various leadership challenges and how well we are prepared for the event.Select a natural disaster that has affected you in some way, such as a hurricane, tornado, blizzard, or wildfire, and look at the National Incident Management Systems (NIMS) and the National Response Framework (NRF), Address how the NRF and NIMS were used to bring the disaster under control. Explain your role or how you or someone you know was affected by the disaster (i.e., psychologically and/or physically).In the paper,•    Explain why changes were necessary for the existing response structure, which leads to the NRF in use today.•    Explain, based on the disaster you identified, how the response dictated the NRF and NIMS response would be used if the disaster occurred today.•    Justify whether or not you think states should take a more active role in emergency management at the local level and if the implementation of the NRF usurps state responsibility and jurisdiction when responding to a disaster.U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
