War Powers In The Obama Administration, Ryan Hendrickson
War Powers In The Obama Administration, Ryan Hendrickson
Faculty Research and Creative Activity
With the arrival of a new American president in 2009, the power and constitutional authority of the commander in chief to engage in military action remains as relevant as ever. Barack Obama inherited a war in Iraq, has worked with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to initiate a 17,000 American combat troop surge in Afghanistan in March 2009 and another increase of 30,000 personnel later that year, more than doubling the total American presence.

Human Rights Pragmatism Under Obama, Sonia Cardenas
Human Rights & Human Welfare
Bypassing realists and idealists, President Obama has staked out a boldly pragmatic approach to human rights. Critics depict the policy shift as “the downfall of human rights” and a set of “empty promises.” The problem is not with Obama’s embrace of pragmatism, or his rejection of ideology, to advance human rights.
