Global Agricultural Trade Negotiations And Their Potential Impact On Minnesota, Mark Ritchie
Global Agricultural Trade Negotiations And Their Potential Impact On Minnesota, Mark Ritchie
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
The two main factors determining the financial well-being of our family farmers, market prices and government payments, are primarily established by Congress through federal legislation, commonly called the Farm Bill. Although these two factors are likely to remain the main economic ingredients in Minnesota's farm economy for the foreseeable future, the political control over these issues appears to be shifting out of the hands of Congress and into the hands of our international trade negotiators. For the very first time, all price support, income subsidy, and supply management programs are on the table for alteration or elimination in this new …
Education As A Strategy In Foreign Policy Of The United States, Ghulam M. Haniff
Education As A Strategy In Foreign Policy Of The United States, Ghulam M. Haniff
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
The role of international education as an element in the foreign policy strategy of the United States is examined from the end of World War II until the late sixties. It is hypothesized that education was used as a convenient device during the period of the Cold War for conducting international relations when the battle for men's minds was being fought by the superpowers. Data presented indicates that with the intensification of the Cold War, a greater interest was expressed in international educational projects. As an instrument of the United States foreign policy, education was conceived as a convenient format …

The Future Of Coexistence: U.S.-Soviet Relations, Nicolas Protyniak
The Future Of Coexistence: U.S.-Soviet Relations, Nicolas Protyniak
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
Basic trends that may develop in American-Soviet relations in the foreseeable future may be analyzed against the background styles of the two countries which constitute a model of the main determinants in continuity and change. Such analysis seems to indicate that competition rather than cooperation will continue to mark the relations between the United States and the Soviet Union, though with a gradual decrease in hostile intensity. Within a broader view, this relationship may offer to the United Stales not only failures and disappointments, but also a creative challenge to contribute to world peace and progress if the challenge is …
The U.N. In East-West Confrontation, Robert E. Riggs
The U.N. In East-West Confrontation, Robert E. Riggs
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
As an instrument of foreign policy, the United Nations performs three functions: it legitimizes particular national policies, it facilitates international negotiations, and it provides material support for policy by allocating manpower and other resources. In dealings with the Soviet bloc during the past two decades, the United States has used the United Nations primarily to confer legitimacy on anti-communist policies. Since the mid- l 950's, however, the increasing unreliability of U.N. majorities and improved Soviet-American relations have brought a relative de-emphasis of the legitimization function. Correspondingly, a somewhat enlarged U.N. role as a forum for East-West negotiations has emerged. Except …
Findings On Disarmament, William O. Peterfi
Findings On Disarmament, William O. Peterfi
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
The author proposes a critical appraisal of current disarmament plans and their implications in present international affairs, especially, the 1964 draft treaties of the United States and the Soviet Union calling for a general and complete disarmament. By comparing and evaluating these two plans, the author hopes to prove his thesis that although disarmament is part of the overall peace effort, the attainment of disarmament will not necessarily establish peace. On the contrary, before any actual and feasible disarmament can be achieved, there must be established a peaceful international climate conducive to a general and complete disarmament.
A Proposal On The Law Of The Sea, Alexander Nadesan
A Proposal On The Law Of The Sea, Alexander Nadesan
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
There has been no agreement until now on the breadth of the territorial sea. This study proposes a uniform law on the breadth of the territorial sea. The concept of the three-mile limit is reviewed briefly. The question of national security is analyzed and the consequences of extending the breadth of the territorial sea beyond six miles is also discussed.
The Problem Of Membership In International Organization, W. Hartley Clark
The Problem Of Membership In International Organization, W. Hartley Clark
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
Membership problems plague international organizations of all types. All organizations are in some way exclusive, and there is a hierarchy of acceptable joiner-nations with the European nations leading the list. Each organization appears statistically to have a norm of membership toward which its number tends. If it falls short of the norm, it is under compulsion to expand. If it exceeds the norm, expulsions or boycotts are likely to ensue. The ideal condition of an organization, therefore, is "normal" membership, not necessarily "total" inclusion of all nations legally admissable. More is to be lost by too large an organization than …
Islam And The British Administration In Northern Nigeria, Peggy Blumberg
Islam And The British Administration In Northern Nigeria, Peggy Blumberg
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
This paper offers a case study in acculturation, the process by which one culture adopts traits of another after prolonged contact. This study seeks to show how the British administration in Northern Nigeria inadvertently hastened the process of conversion of the pagans to Islam. Much of the area was already nominally Muslim when conquered by the Muslim Fulani early in the 19th century. The suzerainty of Islamic rulers encouraged further conversion. By strengthening these rulers and their Islamic courts, the British system of indirect rule established in 1900 gave the pagans positive incentives to convert. Many of the pre-Fulani Muslims …
