German Reunification Effects
This is an excerpt from the paper...
This research examines the potential effects of German reunification on international relations generally, and, more specifically, on the socalled New World Order spoken of in somewhat vague terms by President Bush.

The New World Order, therefore, is assumed to be, for purposes of the assessment in this research, an American effort to establish a basis for a continued American dominance on a global scale, at a time when the country is no longer the dominant economic power of the world; it is required to share economic leadership with a rapidly uniting Europe, and with Japan.
