- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and Many countries legally prohibit the shark fin trade; it is still an ongoing problem to protect the lives of one of the ocean’s top apex-predator. Due to the high demand, sharks are depleting at a rapid rate, and it is affecting the oceanic ecosystems. In order to help sharks, policymakers need to become more aware that sharks are an essential species in the marine ecosystem. This poster seeks to inform about shark fin trade and the effects that it will have on the marine ecosystem in the future.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and In 2017 the United States faces escalated nuclear tensions with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). 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.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and The United States and Europe have had increasing tensions in the past decade. Both areas have seen a resurgence in populist sentiment. The United States has seen two new extremist groups rise, the alt-right and Antifa. Modern segregation has also given way to racial tensions. Europe has seen tensions in the European Union between its liberal leadership and conservative members. The influx of refugees has also contributed to a rise in nationalist parties that seek power in their respective countries.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and The Republic of Turkey is one of the most important allies and partners to the West. 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.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and 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.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and This thesis examines the geopolitical implications of large international shipping canals in the summation to the conclusion that canals are constructed out of a nation's strategic necessity and are then considered by nations as strategic assets due to their altering of maritime dynamics through the physical change to geography. 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.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and Europe has been overwhelmed with over one million migrants that have crossed the Mediterranean Sea over the past few years. 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.

- GMA 460L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and 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.

Looking back on previous relations will allow readers to understand that neither country is held more responsible for their relations today, and that both countries are at fault. In order to improve the relations, prides need to be put aside and agreements need to be made. If relations continue the way they are now, the tension will just become worse.

- 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.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and Nonindigenous species (NIS), also referred to as non-native or invasive species, are organisms that pose a threat to the environment to which they are introduced to. 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.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and 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.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and In the last few decades, China has made unprecedented progress in its own growth. From the work of Deng Xiaoping and the upkeeping from his successors until current leader Xi Jinping, China's economic rise rivals that of the United States. This has also renewed maritime confidence in China's navy, also known as People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) which has been growing. Strategy and doctrine play a large role in the advancement of Chinese military influence it has on policy. Strategists such as Sun Tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, and Alfred Mahan are essential to the leadership and strategy studies of officer in PLAN. With a rise in power, it is assumed that the leadership and strategy studies of officer in PLAN. With a rise in power, it is assumed that the Untied States and China will fall into a concept known as the Thucydides Trap which predicts war between the two powers. This comes with tensions that are building around Chinese waters.

- GMA 460L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and Climate Change has the sea-levels rising and threatens coastal states around the globe. The North Sea Flood of 1953 devastated the Netherlands. As a result, the Delta Work Commission was created and set up dams, storm surge barriers, and flood gates. The Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management was subsequently created which consolidated spatial, water, and land management sectors into a single entity. 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 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.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and 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.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and 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.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and 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.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and 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.

The future policies of the United Kingdom follow a path set out in history that has been analyzed and studied by political science scholars and theorists. As the United Kingdom leaves they will set out on a trip that will alter their history and determine a new line of policy that they have not experienced before. New agreements will need to be made to deal with the military obligations, military security, border control, immigration, tourism, fishing, trade, the economy, and foreign direct investment. All of these will change in the coming years as the United Kingdom fully separates from the bonds of the European Union that has been constricting the United Kingdom. Using three scenarios the United Kingdom could fall into one of these transforming their international relations, as well as the international system.

- 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 The development of the maritime sector is instrumental in the overall development of states. In order to achieve this development states enter into a variety of maritime development agreements. Cooperation and institutional theory is applied to better understand these agreements and what makes them mutually beneficial. Conditional indicators based on these theories were chosen including clarity, reciprocity, goodwill, and interdependence. These conditional indicators are applied to three development agreements in the maritime sector. Upon analysis, recommendations are made in an attempt to create more successful and mutually beneficial development agreements in future. Amongst these recommendations is that states should prioritize clarity, reciprocate both cooperation and defection, act in a manner of goodwill towards their partners, and create structures of complex interdependence amongst all parties.

- GMA 460L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and The relationship between governments and their people has significantly evolved over the centuries. The 20th and 21st centuries have seen incredible advances in technology, public health, and behavioral norms which have dramatically re-characterized this relationship. This then begs the question of how the structure and function of government affects this relationship and the outcomes produced by the intersection of policy and population. Parliamentary, multi-party systems appear to encourage greater trust in government alongside higher levels of democratic participation. Meanwhile, public healthcare programs - despite their high tax burden - greatly contribute to public health and improve government trust. Further, universalist and conservative welfare regimes are more effective at reducing income inequality than liberal welfare regimes.

- China’s ambitions in the South China Sea and Indian Ocean Rim are of significance to China’s expansion. In recent years, the South China Sea has been a major area of dispute between various Asian claimants over small islands, atolls, and reefs in the region. Many of these nations are looking to gain access to the resources in the Exclusive Economic Zones that encompass these islands. China’s expansion in the Indian Ocean differs in that the country aims to establish strong trade partners in the region. and GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- GMA 460L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and The United States Agency for International Development is an independent institution that funds projects and missions in foreign countries that need economic assistance. Each new administration appoints a new administrator of USAID. The trends and patterns of spending during the eighteen-year time frame from 2001 to 2019 reflect upon the Bush Administration, the Obama Administration and the current Trump Administration. The data shows a fluctuating system with a general rise in the amount of aid given. The two highest trends in the cumulative data are reflected in the Trump and Obama administrations showing no drastic relationship to bipartisanship. The four countries that received the most amount of aid over the course of eighteen years are: Ethiopia, Syria, South Sudan, and Pakistan with an overall donation of $ 11,560,997,100. While humanitarian aid is essential in helping countries climb out of poverty, the importance of Disaster Risk Resiliency (DRR) is essential in ensuring robust infrastructure and mitigation efforts.

However, in the recent century, shark finning has become a growing global issue as the population of sharks is at a severe decline due to overfishing and by catch. Fishing vessels of various countries catch massive quantities of sharks to meet the demand, which brings in enormous amounts of money to companies supplying shark fins. With the large number of sharks being pulled from the oceans, the population is at a steep decline, which not only impacts the shark population but the overall biodiversity of the sea.

- GMA 460L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and The objective of this poster is to present the troubling situation of the Sahrawi people from Western Sahara. Currently over 100,000 people are surviving in internment refugee camps in Algeria, and have been there for nearly fifty years. The region of the camps are divided by a large wall of sand called the Sahara Berm. The Sahara Berm is part of a strategic military defense designed to keep the Sahrawi people and Algeria from taking over Western Sahara in which Morocco occupies. Likewise, the Berm protects an important phosphate mine with the longest conveyor belt in the world that leads to an extensive port. This poster shows aerial views of the camps, a sculpture that represents the camps, military outposts of the berm, as well as the port that transports and exports what is claimed to be phosphate. Furthermore, in order to bring accountability and reference to those responsible for the representation of the Sahrawi people, a timeline of representation has been added.

- 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 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.

- GMA 460L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and The developments in the shipping industry have grown significantly in past decades. California's ports are responsible for over fifty percent of the nation’s container cargo volume. The ports must quickly advance to maintain their role in the global supply chain. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze multiple challenges facing California's ports and provide specific policy recommendations that would best address the challenges. The challenges analyzed include Intermodal issues, the Panama Canal expansion, regional ports/ trade wars, labor relations, and the cost of doing business in California.

- Description:
- The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, also known as NATO, has been an extremely important tool in the United States’ foreign policy since the end of World War II. It is a common defense pact between 29 countries that assures that if one state is attacked, all will respond to defend it ("The North Atlantic Treaty", 1949). NATO provides unwavering military partnerships for the United States and defends its members from formidable foreign enemies. However, the current administration of the United States has expressed doubt in the continued relevance or need of NATO. The cited issues are the cost and purpose of NATO in a world without the Soviet Union. NATO has shifted to become a tool of foreign policy and conflict resolution for its members rather than a pact against a single enemy. It has launched several successful missions as such to date. NATO is still an essential tool in the United State’s foreign relations arsenal and should be preserved for the future. and GMA 460L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and Throughout history, the many populations of the world have moved about for a variety of reasons. Whether that is actual immigration or emigration depends on the circumstances. For a long time, Europe has been the epicenter of immigration and emigration. Since the beginning of the Cold War, the ex-Soviet states have never honestly been on the same level economically with their Western European counterparts. Economic desolation is more than likely the main reason why so many leave in the first place and along with that, the looming threat of aging populations in Europe is pushing governments to come up with ways of bringing back their youngest and brightest.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and Illicit Wildlife Trafficking (IWT) been viewed through an environmental lens rather than a security lens for many years. This has allowed for increased rates of poaching and an unprecedented growth of IWT. This project asserts that IWT must be viewed through a security lens to improve global security. By showing a clear link between IWT and criminal organizations this thesis will shine a new light on the issue. An analysis of elephant and rhino populations throughout several regions in Africa will give a general ideal of the scope of the problem in Africa. This project acknowledges that Africa is not the only continent afflicted with IWT but points to Africa as a major case study in a very broad topic, that could not be avoided. The goal of this project is to shift the thinking of policy makers from an environmental stance to a security stance; it is also imperative that policy makers to combat IWT in source countries rather than destination countries by improving socioeconomic issues in source countries that could increase IWT.
