Essay Instructions: International Organizations—whether the UN, NATO, World Bank, WTO, IMF and others—are no more than the playgrounds of major powers who use these multilateral institutions to advance their own interests—often at the expense of less-powerful countries.” defend or refute this statement

Essay Instructions: Write an essay on the problems involved in developing international organizations. How do they compare with the American federal model of institutional organization, where the states surrender their individual sovereignty to a central authority but retain limited residuary powers of government? Speculate on the inevitability of the global citizen and the demise of the nation.

Essay Instructions: I need a paper on how international organizations impact incarceration and prison management in a developing country (or countries). Brazil and/or South Africa are two possible countries to highlight, but I'm not picky. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has done work in prison reform efforts. The World Bank may have funded some work in prison reform. As even offenders and criminals have rights, I'd like to approach it from the perspective of respect for observance of human rights, not just for the victim but for the offender. If there are injustices in sentencing based upon race, that would be good to discuss--that shouldn't be hard to find in Brazil or South Africa.
