The End of the Orange Revolution: Nationalism and Ukraine's Presidential Election." Researched the effect of nationalism on the Ukrainian elections in 2010. Utilized databases such as Lexis-Nexis and the De-Classified Documents Reference System, as well as articles from pro- Russian and pro- Ukraine publications. Focused particularly on the influence of the nationalist parties in the Western regions of Ukraine and how they were used by the former president to sway the election away from his rival and form a coalition with the more pro- Russian candidate. Analyzed the candidates and the effect their policies and political leanings might have on Ukrainian relations with the West. Determined that President Yuschchenko deceived the nationalists with a focused information operation in order to form an alliance with the incoming president, a last ditch effort to maintain his own power."START II: US- Russian Arms Control in the Post- Soviet World." Researched the history of US- Russian nuclear weapons treaties in order to determine the efficacy of such bi- lateral agreements in the future, as there is no longer a bi- polar balance of power. Analyzed past and current theories on arms control and nuclear proliferation, applying them to the current strategic environment for critical analysis Investigated current Russian leadership and their records in the arms control process. Concluded that the United States must be wary of entering into bi- lateral agreements on nuclear arms with Russia. Without proper methods of verification, the United States can not be so trusting as to assume Russia is in compliance.
