- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and U.S. exit from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the implications held therein for United States involvement in the Asia-Pacific region and Asia policy under the Trump administration indicate an abdication of U.S. hegemony in the region, allowing China further expansion of influence through the rival trade pact, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). The qualifiers for TPP abandonment under the Trump Administration were insufficient, deserting decades of strategy and national interest. Moving forward, it is necessary the U.S. take care to uphold presence and authority in the region as well as form stronger bilateral trade relations with allies and growing powers in the Asia-Pacific to secure regional stability and peace. Special interest should be paid to strong allies that will continue forward with RCEP, namely Australia, Japan and New Zealand who will inevitably develop closer trade relations with China.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and The American shipping industry operates under the regulation of the Jones Act, found in the Merchant Marine Act of 1920. The 97 year old legislation has outlived its intended purposes. In 1920, the United States created the Jones Act in order to regulate maritime commerce while creating a platform to build a Merchant Marine Fleet to aid during times of war or national emergencies. The current state of the U.S. Jones Act fleet is deteriorating before the nation’s eyes. The government continues to aid the dying American shipping industry through an excess amount of government subsidies. The American shipping industry has fallen so far behind, the subsidies are no longer enough to support the failed interests of the United States. The repercussions of having a disastrous maritime cabotage industry now have begun costing the consumers of the United States. The current state of the Jones Act in today’s maritime industry can no longer support the original claims: protecting national security, economy, safety, environmental, and global context.

- The Indian Ocean Rim (IOR) has become a major geopolitical and security interest in the 21st century. One of the biggest issues that faces the Indian Ocean today is the swift growth of maritime related security threats. This is a major concern to not only first world nations like the United States, but also to developing states in the region. Due to the lack of stability in the region, the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula have been a breeding ground for violent non-state actors. Piracy, illicit trade, and terrorism are just a few of the non traditional maritime security threats. With instability in an already pirate-infested area, the threat of a growing maritime terrorism domain is a looming and haunting notion. This thesis will look into the history of maritime based terrorist attacks, and the potential for up and coming non-state actors, terrorist organizations, and organized crime in a region of instability. and GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and Blockades have traditionally been an operation navies take during war yet are used today when no declared war is taking place. Today blockades have been used due to the security threats posed to a belligerent if one were not in place and as a display of power within the region. They are by far an extremely effective operation compared to other options given such as an occupation. Blockades almost always create some sort of humanitarian crisis when enacted for an extended period of time and humanitarian support isn’t allowed access.

- With rising threats from naturally occurring events and human caused attacks, California’s ports are a critical piece of infrastructure that must be protected at all times. In order to operate these ports rely on systems and networks. Electricity is the most important critical node that drives port operations. Without electricity, California’s ports will be dormant and the U.S. border would open a weakness that can be exploited by threat actors. These actors may have the intent and capability to exploit that weakness. If and when the grid does fail, the incorporation of continuity of operations for California’s ports and the maritime domain will be imperative for security and economic prosperity. and GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- GMA 460L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and The rise of ideologically-motivated "lone-wolf" active shooter attacks constitutes a new phase of terrorism like nothing seen before. The perpetrators of these attacks are radicalized through the Internet, via digital communities with an environment supportive of political violence. This form of terrorism is self- perpetuating, as each new act of terrorism provides inspiration for future attacks. Unlike domestic terrorism of the past, these attackers are motivated by ideologies not confined by national borders or physical proximity. Likewise, terrorist attacks in one country ma inspire related attacks on the other side of the world. Unlike traditional international terrorism, these acts are not committed as part of any formal plan by an organized group. The patterns inspiration by which this form of terrorism spreads appear similar to the spread of school shootings. As these type of attacks are committed by individuals without the direct involvement of others online or in person, they are uniquely challenging to predict or prevent.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and The Indian Ocean Rim (IOR) has become a global hotspot for international states and developing states to grow in their commercial industries. The Indian Ocean is the third largest ocean on Earth and is home to a variety of natural raw materials found within and around the Indian Ocean. These materials can be used to sustain different industries which can provide materials used to develop nation’s infrastructure and supply its population. This intervention by China in the Indian Ocean has the potential to disrupt the United States foreign relations with China diplomatically and economically, Lastly, with this much involvement in the Indian Ocean will China invest more into its maritime/naval forces to maintain and reliable presences in the region.

- The study focuses on what exactly the core issue is of this “bigger picture”. Rather than specifically discussing what the trade war entails, this thesis uncovers what the trade war really represents, and the underlying ideological conflicts that exists. The formulation of the issue and the influences of the US hegemonic power take center stage as these two components are the key explanations of why this trade war is taking place. An analysis of US influence in other countries is also a critical factor as it displays the evidence of how the trade war with China is one of many examples of pure exertion of US power and international leader influence and GMA 460L - Senior Seminar Research Lab
