"Today, the human race seems to have encountered more threats than it had ever faced any time before in modern history. Humanity thus is at a crossroads with respect to dealing with multiple threats that endangered preservation of the human species itself: poverty, widespread violence, dangerous illnesses, environmental catastrophes, and social break down are some of these among others. Among the most recommended available solutions to overcome these crises are how to manage crises themselves, which probably include managing resources, power, knowledge, and whatever. Spreading Investment and financial transfers to the South, where 85 per cent of humanity dwell is assumed to generate income, create work opportunity, and spark hope of sustainable development. Moreover, if improved technologies are being shared and international policies coordinated to address economic, environmental, discrimination, and health concerns, these would be even more productive. However, while current genuine international cooperation and trust between actors is diminishing, senseless talk about peace and security are in the air as well, sounding instead fearful, suspicious, conflict producing and even more mistrustful overall. The outset of the 21st century doesn't seem to offer anything to ensure the wellbeing of most of mankind, even though today in international politics, transnational interest groups are gaining clout. However, they lack an institution to represent them. Thus civil society must push on to make its many voices heard, in order to reflect and realize the notion of the global era needing a global parliament to address outstanding issues."

"The correlation of relations between Central and Eastern Europe, the European Union, and the United States (CEE-EU-US), seem to confirm that in general, policies appear to be more effective if internationally coordinated and encompass wider participation. This is because domestic politics and international relations are often inextricably entangled. However, the existing practice of CEE-EU-US relations has not yet adequately strengthened this tendency. Instead, it rather enhances a self-destructive form of global politics. This lack of cooperation, failure to be inclusive, hypocrisy, imperial aspiration, misuse of democracy, imposing one's will and domination on other entities, all seem to be possible outcomes of the current negative correlation. Negotiations, which occur under these circumstances, do not effectively address the following issues. These concern the role of domestic preferences and coalitions, domestic political institutions and practices, strategies and tactics of negotiations, all of which cultivate uncertainty across regions. The result is the domestic reverberation of international pressures, and embedded one-sided interests of the chief negotiators - which represent hegemony of the primary power. This tendency of imperial domination applies to many other political phenomena of various entities as well. These include dependency, legislative committees, and multiparty coalitions, including the creation of vassal or weak governments, of which the CEE itself is an excellent example."

"This paper attempts to assess international regimes and some of the problems that appear with them, namely environmental regimes and security regimes. The paper assesses these problems through prisms of two of the major theories of international relations: Realism and Liberalism. It looks into aspects such as how these theories differ in comparison, while addressing the issues under discussion? First and foremost, what are international regimes and how do we categorize them? Analyzing the task of international regimes and explaining to some extent the significance of international environmental and security regimes for today's world is the subject of this paper."
