- Within this century, 2,400 miles of major roadway are projected to be inundated by sea level rise in the Gulf Coast Region. Roadways are at risk in the event of a sea level rise of about 4 ft, which is within range of projections for this region in this century. In total, 24% of interstate highway miles and 28% of secondary road miles in the Gulf Coast region are at elevations below 4 ft. A program to develop Gulf Coast port facilities will less the economic impact of this sea level rise and GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and The United States merchant fleet has responded to multiple natural disasters in the past twenty years. They have used their wide scope and available fleet along with strategic positioning for timely response and assistance. Departments such as Military Sealift Command (MSC), the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Maritime Administration (MARAD) have all played vital roles in the first days after domestic and international disasters. With the magnitude of meteorological events expected to increase in coming years, the resources of existing response programs will be strained. A more cohesive relationship between the current government lead as well as non-governmental organizations and the merchant fleet should be considered. The merchant fleet can provide unique resources that have proven valuable in the cases of past disasters. Looking beyond military lead organizations and into the commercial deep water and brown water merchant fleets may prove pivotal in future disaster scenarios.

- Description:
- The IMO will be introducing new regulations in 2020 that will require ships to reduce emissions of certain greenhouse gases and combat climate change. A promising yet radical alternative to fossil fuels and other renewable energy is the use of nuclear-powered reactors in container ships and bulk carriers. Used by the U.S. Navy and other nuclear powered countries around the world, nuclear energy is an emission free energy source which provides sufficient power for shipping needs and is economically competitive with conventional shipping methods. The U.S. has the capital, technology, and other resources needed to develop a nuclear powered merchant shipping fleet. Though federal and international constraints will need to be resolved to achieve this bold idea, it is time for the U.S. to take the lead as a maritime nation for international shipping standards. and GMA 460L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- Description:
- Despite the history of a strong and prosperous U.S. maritime industry, today’s U.S. merchant fleet is characterized by inadequacy. Through dwindling numbers as a result of mismanaged legislation as well as shifting global politics, U.S. maritime policy has failed to maintain adequate means of supporting a national fleet. Even with the obvious benefits to the national economy, international political power, and national security, the U.S. government is seemingly unable to overcome internal politics in order to provide the nation with a strong merchant marine. Ultimately, when the question about what became of the U.S. merchant marine is posed, the answer is that it was essentially turned over to rest of world. Without any meaningful change, the U.S. fleet will at best retain its current 2nd rate position in the international maritime community, while at worst it will be left to continue to slowly become irrelevantrate to the same international community that it once led. and GMA 460L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- 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

- 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.

- 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.

- 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 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.

- Description:
- 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 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.

- 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.

The purpose of the DPRK’s nuclear program is to have a fully developed nuclear arsenal with the ability to strike the continental United States. It also explores the policies of the three Kim family leaders and their contributions to the nuclear program, along with their interaction with the international community’s nonproliferation strategies to deter the DPRK. Closing, there is a discussion of the right path for the United States under the current administration who has used hardline rhetoric to demonstrate the resolve of the United States.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 created three new riparian states surrounding the Caspian Sea. This maritime realm is resource rich with vast hydrocarbon reserves. Russia and Iran must now come to terms with the reality that they are no longer entitled to split this body of water and its resources between themselves. Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan have rightful claims to regions within the Caspian Sea basin that contain the majority of these offshore hydrocarbon reserves. These natural resources have drawn the outside interests of Europe and the United States. The west wishes to reduce Russia’s monopoly over Eurasian energy markets with the construction of a Trans-Caspian Pipeline system which would create and east to west hydrocarbon corridor. However, a legal regime for the Caspian Sea is still vehemently contested between these five states. Russia, Iran, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan all realize that whatever legal regime defines the Caspian Sea will have a monumental affect on hydrocarbon production and transportation.

Turkey is a Muslim-majority nation with an important Western orientation; Turkey has a long history of upholding secular democracy, trade-based economics, and is a member of the NATO alliance. Turkey and the West find commonality in a number of key interest areas as well, including security, humanitarian issues, and economic interests. Turkey-West relations are not without challenges, however, with strained Greco-Turkish relations, the Kurdish Issue, and the erosion of democracy in Turkey being among them. Facing these issues and strenghtening Turkey-West relations is key to bringing peace and stability to the region.

- The Arctic is experiencing climate change at an alarming rate. This is providing new opportunities for countries to exploit the region for its natural resources and waterways. As such, countries in the region are preparing for the opening of Arctic and the potential benefits it could bring. However, Russia is placing itself in a position of geopolitical power to try and regain its global power status. Russia has been developing its Arctic capabilities far faster than any other state in the region. One example of this is Russia’s investment in its Northern Fleet, at the end of the Cold War much of this Northern Fleet was mothballed, but now new life is coming back into the great Arctic Fleet. Russia can also expect to gain some unique advantages that few other countries will get to experience as climate change progresses. The growing benefits and capability of Russia has made many of the other Arctic states uneasy. However, the Arctic has never known war or armed conflict before, in this sense, it has the ability to be a bridge of peace between nations. and GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

This thesis employs four regional case studies to highlight the geopolitical effects that canal construction brings as well how their implementation and usage is intertwined with the economic and strategic goals of various states. Specifically, this thesis uses historical and contemporary contexts to showcase the Suez Canal in Egypt and the Panama Canal in Panama, as well as the proposed Nicaragua Canal in Nicaragua, the Kra Canal in Thailand, and the Salwa Canal in Saudi Arabia. This thesis will relate its explanations of state behavior to the concepts geography, seapower, and strategy, in order to meet their established economic and martial goals via interaction with canals.

Today, migrant numbers are in decline, but EU states are still trying to catch up with the thousands of applications for asylum that have been submitted. Many states have been so preoccupied with trying to process these applications and decide on a political stance on admitting refugees that little has been done to integrate refugees. If states invest in efficient refugee integration, studies have shown that refugees will actually be a significant economic asset.

- The Syrian Civil War is currently a multi-faction civil conflict being fought between the Ba'athist Syrian Arab Republic and several rebel opposition groups. The Syrian Arab Republic is led by President Bashar Al-Assad and his authoritarian regime. The Assad Regime has been supported by it’s long time ally, the Russian Federation. Opposition forces have been supported by a collation between western nations, led by the United States. This conflict has been frequently compared to the cold-war era proxy wars of the 20th century. If the Syrian Civil War is truly a proxy war between the United States and Russia, it brings to question the validity of the end of the Cold War. Through comparison to previous proxy wars between the Soviet Union and the United States, we can ascertain if we are still locked in conflict with another world power. and GMA 460L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and The technological advances in the last five years has been outstanding. In the shipping industry alone, technology is continuing to advance so much that some believe autonomous shipping for cargo ships will become a reality in less than five years. This will decrease shipping costs, reduce lives lost at sea, and allow for more research of the high seas. The benefits are close to eliminating the consequences of cybersecurity threats and attacks. The industry is not ready for autonomous ships because the cybersecurity of the current industry is not up to par. Billions of dollars could be lost in the transition from manned ships to unmanned. Evaluating the current risks in the industry will help evaluate the future implications of autonomous ships.

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.

International commercial shipping vessels are considered a vector for these introductions, primarily through the vessels’ ballast water systems and through fouling, or attaching to the hull and releasing in a new location. Ballast water release is regulated by international law, while California and New Zealand are the only jurisdictions that have requirements Zealand are the only jurisdictions that have requirements for biofouling management. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) provides guidelines for biofouling management, but these are not required. CA and NZ regulations are both similar to these guidelines with the same best practices. Ballast water regulations are used as a case study to examine the future of biofouling management. The purpose of this project is to identify good elements of regulations, define best practices, and analyze the future of how the policy will spread.

- In Marine Insurance, the industry culture tends to avoid the high risk red zones of the trading routes in the world. Such as the waters off the coast of Somalia, Strait of Malacca, and the Niger Delta, in the Gulf of Guinea. These areas are high risk zones, for cargo insurance companies, because of the high levels of piracy and war in those areas. In the past, insurance companies have worked hand in hand with security companies to push against piracy and war threats with a gun vs. gun approach. However, in the current maritime environment, officials realize this type of approach is not as effective as they once thought. The change in security thinking has seen authorities move from the gun vs. gun approach to a more social development approach. The goal of this approach is to fight the threat of piracy and war by focusing on improving the government, economy, and environment from behind enemy lines. The insurance companies will also focus on developments that could indicate the future zones that will become the next high risk zones. This “Humanitarian” approach presents a better understanding of future high risk zones and the reasons for them. and GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

The state of the Netherlands has since been protected from storms, storm surge, and rising sea levels. The United States is vulnerable on a larger scale to sea-level rise and storm surge but has not invested the necessary resources to mitigate such risks. Despite reeling from major hurricanes such as Hurricane Andrew and Katrina, that caused millions in damage and years of rebuilding, there has been no major change to mitigate the effect of such events. As climate change advances sea-level rise, metropolises of the United States are under siege. Currently there are no sure-fire ways set in place to protect the state in its vulnerable areas, leaving the population more susceptible to any flooding or storm surge. By learning from the Dutch and emulating their system of water and infrastructure management, the United States can begin adequately protecting the population.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and The Indian Ocean region has a rich history of trade, migration, and cooperation, creating world systems within the region through the use of the monsoon winds and sail. This is, however, contrasted to the Indian Ocean of today, which has become the single most important ocean for global trade but also a region of volatility. While the Indian Ocean oversees over half of the world’s oil production and its transportation, it also sees around half of the world’s conflicts along with a plethora of security issues that overflow into the maritime realm. These issues could possibly be better addressed through a more unified Indian Ocean region, where they can be shared and solved under a single cause. The concept of a unified Indian Ocean would be a challenge to behold, but there are aspects that are shared among the nations along the rim that could bring them together for their greater good.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and China's One Belt Road strategy is establishing a new cooperation framework; it allows China to participate and even dominate some countries' economic development. Central Asia, an area that left behind the world -economically and politically, recently became a hot spot of China's new outlook. However, Central Asia has not received enough attention from The US. Central Asia plays a significant role in international energy security, human rights issues and terroristic threats. This thesis addresses China’s influences in Central Asia, what’s the role The US plays this region, and hot the US should react to China's new strategy in Central Asia.

- The international community was shocked by the United Kingdom’s recent vote to secede from the European Union. Although the UK pondered the idea of leaving the EU for many years, the proposal became official on June 23rd, 2016. There is no doubt that the future implications of this decision remain unclear. Many British politicians warned the people of the United Kingdom of the challenges that a “yes” vote would present. To the contrary, some UK politicians promoted the high level of uncertainty regarding secession as a source of excitement and motivation. As the UK continues to negotiate with the EU, and other world partners, regarding the details of implementing the British-exit (Brexit) decision, many people question the effects that this will have on key policy areas. One key policy area is the UK’s maritime sector and industry. Understanding the effects of Brexit on maritime security, trade/shipping, marine environmental policy, and marine insurance provides for greater insight regarding the extreme vulnerability of the United Kingdom’s economic, national defense, and environmental interests. and GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- China and the United States have similar motivations for foreign aid but different methodologies. For the U.S. aid is given with conditions. China believes that they should have a policy of non-interference. Both have advantages and disadvantages. For either methodology aid is only effective if it is tailored for each recipient country. In any scenario, both countries have much to gain by providing foreign aid. Determining the motivations is vital to understanding aids effectiveness. With current U.S. political climate turning inward for a more nationalistic view, ensuring that foreign aid is effective and necessary will help policy makers justify foreign spending to their constituents. and GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- The Maritime Silk Road is a Chinese foreign policy launched in 2013 as a part of China’s One Belt One Road Initiative. The Maritime Silk Road is a vast infrastructure and investment project that stretches from eastern China to Europe. China instituted the MSR with the objective of securing important Sea Lanes of Communication, expansion of trade through infrastructure investments, and to increase its influence to a global scale. In conclusion, China used numerous un-economical projects to debt trap Sri Lanka to achieve a footprint in the Indian Ocean, with the lease of Hambantota port. This move secures Chinese trade in the region of its rival, India, and could give China a forward presence advantage in coming conflicts. China pursues a mutual beneficial trade relationship in Myanmar through infrastructure projects in Myanmar’s hinterland. China is using these projects to increase trade efficiency into central China while decreasing its dependence on the Malacca straits for trade. This relationship provides China with energy security, overland access to the Indian Ocean, and a growing export market. For Myanmar, it provides needed infrastructure and technology to expand its economy, which will help solve Myanmar’s social unrest. and GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- There has been a massive change in the relationship between Russia and NATO following the dissolution of the USSR and the end of the Cold War. There have been a series of actions taken by both NATO and Russia in an attempt to control the European theatre. NATO has expanded the alliance to encompass former members of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact, threatening Russian national security. Russia has also had two major actions, following the reform of their military, in response to the NATO encroachment towards their borders. These actions in Ukraine and Georgia point towards a modern and more active Russian military while also accomplishing their geostrategic objectives. Even with the re-igniting of tension between Russia and NATO there is still the possibility of de-escalation. NATO and Russia have worked together in anti-piracy operations off the coast of Africa. Finally, the relevance of the NATO alliance and the value that the United States brings to the organization is key to the stability of Europe. and GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- 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
