- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and Taiwan has always had a unique position in the Far East, both in terms of geography and the national identity and political institutions that are not only critical for citizens of Taiwan, but are also critical to the major powers in East Asia, such as the UnitedStates, China, and Japan. Besides the influences of foreign policy on the Taiwanese evolution, the various effects of the globalization thathave swept the world in the last several decades have had an even more dramatic effect on Taiwan by comparison. The events of the past twenty years and the global trends that have accompanied them have transformed the thinking of Taiwan’s population as they consider what course they should take going forward. This paper seeks to look at how that change came to be, and how it has already affected the policies and actions of both Taiwan and its neighbors.

- The purpose of this thesis was to explore how advances in the field philosophy and technological progress in the military sector have impacted American political attitudes and decisions in the national security realm. Superior military technology gives a country significant edge in war, and by extension, technologically advanced countries are able to advance their political philosophies on the tip of their spear. New weapons pose new challenges, often blurring the traditionally established rules of moral conduct in war. Overcoming these problems rests in the government's ability to exercise prudence that is proportionate to the threat nation faces to achieve a balance between protecting individual liberties and ensuring national security. and GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and This thesis provides a history and background of women at sea, addressing the past, present, and future of women in the maritime industry. One focus is on the obstacles women faced when breaking into a dominant male field of work, how over time the integration of women in the maritime industry dealt with many challenges. The untold stories of sexual harassment unveiled, women have taken on more responsibility and are in higher-ranking positions in the marine and the military today. Most important is finding the answers as to why women are leaving the wonders of the sea and taking shore side jobs, and what issues and reforms could they handled with policy changes? Despite the challenges women faced on vessels, in war, at work, and at home, they continued holding on to the dreams. One day they are hoping to be remembered for the work they put in the maritime industry. This thesis showcases some of these women and what they went through.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and This thesis discusses the implications of hiring Private Security Contractors to promote state security. This is done by discussing the history of mercenaries through the Thirty Years War, and the rise of private contractors after the Second World War. In addition, there are important distinctions to be made regarding the legality of PSCs and their relationship to violent non-state actors. Different criteria are also viewed in order to find in what situations contractors are truly needed. The examination of certain case studies, helps to determine both the combat efficiency of contractors, and ethically dubious situations in which they may find themselves. The positive and negative facets of alternative state security solutions such as United Nations Peacekeeper deployment and foreign army deployments are considered as well. Along with these, PSCs are scrutinized as a possible state security solution and face criticism throughout the text. In the end, a conclusion is drawn on which solution best fits a state’s security needs along with why the other two solutions are less viable.

- Congestion can be found in every port of California. Congestion mitigates the benefits of economies of scale and causes delays in cargo shipment and transportation from port to truck and rail systems. In 2015, port congestion could have caused up to 7 billion dollars in loss. An increase in trade is causing capacity issues for some ports and all of California needs to work on projects and develop new infrastructure to accommodate inefficient methods of moving containers. and GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab
