question

explain the diplomatic and military negotiations at the conferences in Tehran, Yalta, and Potsdam during World War II.

answer

Germany's invasion of Russia in 1941 forced Stalin to seek military help. As we have seen, despite the very different political systems in Russia, the United States and Great Britain, the threat of a common enemy brought the Allies together. The leaders of the three powers (or their representatives) met relatively frequently, declaring their shared beliefs as a way of maintaining morale at home. In 1942 the Atlantic Charter gave support for the principle of national self-determination. The next year at the Casablanca Conference America reassured Russia that there would not be a compromise peace with Germany, but it remained to be seen how much these 'promises' made in the midst of a desperate military situation could be carried out at the end of the war.

question

In about 150 words, discuss how the economic freedoms of capitalism lead to improved societal conditions when compared with conditions of socialistic countries.

answer

Governments can promote economic freedom by providing a legal structure and a law-enforcement system that protect the property rights of owners and enforce contracts in an evenhanded manner. However, economic freedom also requires governments to refrain from taking people's property and from interfering with personal choice, voluntary exchange, and the freedom to enter and compete in labor and product markets. When governments substitute taxes, government expenditures, and regulations for personal choice, voluntary exchange, and market coordination, they reduce economic freedom. Restrictions that limit entry into occupations and business activities also reduce economic freedom.

question

The Paris Agreement:

answer

Was between the developed world and the developing world

question

analyze the importance of international treaties on the environment with special attention to the Paris Agreement.

answer

The greatest triumph of the Paris climate agreement is that there is an agreement at all. Unlike previous attempted climate treaties, Paris encompasses not only an affluent United States, but also a transformed China and an industrializing India. It even bears the moral imprimatur of the Pacific Island states, countries existentially threatened by sea-level rise. This global solidarity gives the Paris agreement its power. As I wrote over the weekend, the deal is a strange one. While it will affect policies domestic and international, it is meant to work more as an economic signal than as a binding statute. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has said that it sends "a critical message to the global marketplace" to invest in green energy. This signal springs in great part from its unity. because all 195 countries in the world came together to adopt the very first worldwide legally binding global climate agreement. In it, the governments of the world agreed to transparently and accountably work to reduce emissions and address loss and damage in their own countries, provide support to developing countries, and support climate actions initiatives in all regulations, treaties, and initiatives.
