Myths, politics and the not-so-new world order
Article Abstract:
History is generally written to serve the interests of those in power. Facts are not set down correctly or are intentionally biased towards what the status quo expects to see. Reportage of world events such as the Serb-Croatian conflict and the Gulf War show how governments collaborating with or controlling media can sway world opinion by highlighting some facts and omitting others. An analysis of how historians have record events of the 20th century reveals the prevalence of this practice.

Identifying national types: a cluster analysis of politics, economics, and conflict
Article Abstract:
Cluster analysis is used to classify entities into groups and aims toward explanations based on characteristics cutting across the objects in which they are embedded; thus, the analysis seeks a more compelling account of the complex linkages between and among economic, political, and conflict-related variables. It is observed that within a time-dependent system, there is evidence of consistent clustering of countries within and across years, along with evidence of change.

Deliberating global environmental politics
Article Abstract:
UN members must cooperate to promote global environmental policies. A common ecology puts the atmosphere, oceans and the biosphere under the joint management of different countries. Meaningful deliberations among communicatively competent member states enable them to identify common interests, adopt others' interests as their own and create procedures to promote global cooperation.
