The American people saw the rewards that grew out of our efforts in the first 18 months of my Administration. Economic growth increased in strength, and the number of new jobs created during my Administration rose to 4.7 million. After 6 years of delay, the American people had a Crime Bill, which will put 100,000 police officers on our streets and take 19 deadly assault weapons off the street. We saw our National Service initiative become a reality as I swore in the first 20,000 AmeriCorps members, giving them the opportunity to serve their country and to earn money for their education.

  • Haiti: a Case Study of the International Response and the Efficacy of Nongovernmental Organizations in the Crisis
    HAITI: A CASE STUDY OF THE INTERNATIONAL RESPONSE AND THE EFFICACY OF NONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS IN THE CRISIS by Leslie A. Benton* Glenn T. Ware** I. INTRODUCTION In 1990, a military coup ousted the democratically-elected president of Haiti, Jean- Bertrand Aristide. The United States led the international response to the coup, Operation Uphold Democracy, a multinational military intervention meant to restore the legitimate government of Haiti. The operation enjoyed widespread support on many levels: the United Nations provided the mandate, the Organization of American States (OAS) supported it, and many countries participated in the multinational force and the follow-on United Nations Mission in Haiti (UNMIH). International, regional, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) worked with the multinational force and later the UNMIH to restore the elected government and to provide humanitarian assistance to the people of Haiti. This article focuses on the latter aspect of the international response–the delivery of humanitarian aid. It closely examines the methods of interorganization coordination,[1] with particular attention given to the interaction among NGOs and the United States military. An examination of that relationship indicates that the infrastructure the military used to coordinate with the NGO community–the Civil Military Operations Center (CMOC)–was critical to the success of the humanitarian mission. Because both the military and the humanitarian community will probably have to work together again in humanitarian assistance operations in response to civil strife, each community must draw on the lessons of past operations to identify problems in coordination and to find solutions to those problems. II. THE STORY A. Haiti’s History: 1462-1970[2] Modern Haitian history began in 1492 when Christopher Columbus landed on Haiti near Cape Haitien on the north coast of Hispaniola.[3] At first, the island was an important colony and the seat of Spanish government in the New World, but Spain’s interest in Hispaniola soon waned.

  • Environmental Refugees
    ENVIRONMENTAL REFUGEES By Katie L. Peters Advised by Professor William Preston SocS 461, 462 Senior Project Social Sciences Department College of Liberal Arts CALIFORNIA POLYTECHNIC STATE UNIVERSITY Winter, 2011 Table of Contents Research Proposal ii Annotated Bibliography iv Outline vii Text 1 Introduction 1 Environmental Refugees of the Past 3 Causes 5 Case Studies 11 Problems in the New Environment 15 Current Land Remedies 17 Current Policy 19 Possible Solutions 20 Conclusion 22 Bibliography 24 i Research Proposal The Maldives, a small group of islands found in the Indian Ocean, is at a serious risk. With the highest elevation level at 2.4 meters, the islands hold the possibility of being completely submerged by the current rising sea levels. If and when this happens, close to 400,000 people will become environmental refugees – a term and situation rarely dealt with or addressed in the past. Unfortunately, the case of the Maldives is not alone. Many people in countries around the world are at risk of becoming environmental refugees. The specific case of the Maldives is an extreme case where the islands may completely disappear. Other areas around the world may not experience stress to this level, but other scenarios are likely. The land may be overworked to a point where it is no longer suitable for people to live on, water resources may become scarce and nonexistent, or extreme weather and temperature may make certain areas unsuitable for communities and societies to live and thrive. When these types of environmental events due occur, people may be forced to abandon their land in search of new land that can support their lifestyle.
