The politics of waste management

Public participation, congressional legislation and a harmonious federal relations are necessary for successful waste management. Congressional law is necessary for regulation of interstate movement of waste and to control the collection, shipment and disposal of waste by states and local governments. Disproportionate concentration of locally unwanted facilities will end through pollution prevention and public participation. High-level nuclear waste disposal program can be more effective with improved relation between the federal and the state government.

Traditional influences upon Lebanese politics

Article Abstract:

Lebanese political and social traditions have withstood civil war, external conflict and economic crisis because of the power that comes from familial bonds. Despite its parliamentary system of government, Lebanon cannot be considered a democracy because of affiliations that do not permit compromise in determining a collectively acceptable power entity. Therefore, social structures based on 'kinship, fealty and religion' play a greater role than the allegiance demanded by political parties or government authority figures.

U.S. foreign aid: is it for friends, development or politics?

Article Abstract:

The history of American economic assistance is a troubled one because foreign aid has not always achieved its two primary objectives: support for US policy and successful economic development in Third World nations. One of the clearest indicators of the failings of the first objective can be seen in the voting records of the UN Security Council. The second objective is glaringly faulty because no recipient of US aid has become a truly developed nation since World War II.
