The new geopolitics: defending democracy in the post-Cold War era
Article Abstract:
The end of the Cold War dominated by the US and the USSR has created a truly historic opportunity to nurture democracy and free markets worldwide, making a safer and more stable world. Previous great conflicts have ended in new paradigms for international relations, ones that have proven flawed in one way or another. The end of polarization now makes possible a more unified world, one that NATO and the Partnership for Peace can help strengthen and preserve. The role and prospects of Russia in such a world are described.

Thailand's slow march to democracy
Article Abstract:
Thailand's government was in a state of flux in 1992. The junta under General Suchinda Kraprayoon and the civilian Prime Minister Anand Panyarachum gave up power. The two elections which followed were riddled with vote-buying, but the second did result in a narrow victory for the pro-democracy over the pro-military coalition.The country saw a total of four governments and three prime ministers during that eventful year.
