The Truman Doctrine Vs. The Bush Doctrine: Justifying War With Iraq, Lindsay St. Germain
The Truman Doctrine Vs. The Bush Doctrine: Justifying War With Iraq, Lindsay St. Germain
Honors Theses
It is commonly thought that presidential doctrines set a precedent for the country to follow. These doctrines are intended to reflect the attitudes, and values of not only the president in power, but the best interests of the United States in general. Using public opinion surveys, historical documents, and current news articles and books, I will analyze the Truman Doctrine, enunciated in 1947, and the Bush Doctrine, put forth in 2001. In doing so, I hope to compare military actions justified using both doctrines, and point out what I see to be the flaws and triumphs of the Bush Doctrine; …

While these sources are crucial to the proper administration of ZBAs' objectives, there is often an element of bias in interpretation to varying degrees. I want to determine whether or not education …

Inefficient National Political Parties In Brazil And The Effects On Economic Policy, Jason Sullivan
Inefficient National Political Parties In Brazil And The Effects On Economic Policy, Jason Sullivan
Honors Theses
I intended to study the domestic and international issues that pushed and pulled at the government in its creation of its economic policy.

However, as I researched I found something that I think is as just as important if not more important in creating Brazil's economic policy. As I researched it became evident that the characteristics of the Brazilian political parties had an influence on how all policies are formulated, more …
