- 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.

- Description:
- 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

- 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.

- Description:
- 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.
