Pivotal global players deserve special attention

Article Abstract:

The large, populous and industrial pivotal states of Mexico, Brazil, South Africa, Algeria, Egypt, Turkey, India, Pakistan and Indonesia deserve policymakers' special attention as their futures are predicted to affect American interests. US foreign policy is encouraged to consider other military goals in the post-Cold War era, such as the prevention of excessive pollution brought about by the developing world's industrialization. The pivotal states' strategic and economic outcomes will largely determine the fate of US national interests and international stability.

Too many people pose global risk

Article Abstract:

The world's population is rising at an exponential rate even though people all over the globe are increasingly aware of contraception. Nearly twice as many people will be living on Earth in the latter part of the twenty-first century. The 1994 United Nations International Conference on Population and Development established a number of global targets concerning education, immigration and health. Particular focus should be given to family planning education since this is the single-most effective means of relieving human suffering.

Restructuring targets global electrical grid

Article Abstract:

Restructuring of the electric utility industry has been based on three trends, the separation of power-generation assets from distribution, conditions set by the government, and strategies presented by the government. Significant constraints on utility restructuring include local fuel markets, transmission networks and reliability. The current level of privatization in the US electricity industry, means the restructuring is more complex than if industry were under direct government ownership.
