Walck Diverse nations and complicated political pasts – often involving dictatorships or a foreign nation’s control – leave in their wake equally complicated me- dia landscapes where government officials either dic- tate the news or do so use family members and close friends who act as media owners. During the second half of the Study of the U.S. Institute, the 2013 scholars heard from colleagues crossing the globe – from South America to Europe to Asia – on the media landscapes that make up the following nations: Chile SUSI scholar Fernando Venegas focused on how his homeland has evolved from being governed by a dictator to becoming a democratic society. He also noted that the wealth distribution in Chile is very un- even, and as a result, leads to a concentration of me- dia ownership among the nation’s wealthiest people. Much like its media ownership, Venegas said news content produced by media outlets is not diversified, either. In fact, crime coverage makes up the largest percentage of the nation’s news stories.

International Law from a Machiavellian Perspective, by Anthony D'Amato, pp.82-95, in The Realist Tradition and Contemporary International Relations, ed. by W. David Clinton, (Political Traditions in Foreign Policy series), Louisiana State University Press, 2007 Abstract: Machiavelli leaves one with both an optimistic and a pessimistic prognostication for the post-Cold War world. On the one hand, the end of that conflict has opened the way for the spread of liberal, constitutional regimes, which he would say are inclined to be more and more meticulous in honoring their commitments. On the other, the temptation to use force to create new facts and thereby force international law into new paths will remain as long as politics is practiced. The contemporary relevance of Machiavelli may be seen in that he urged both realities upon us. I focus on a single incident that postdated the end of the Cold War—the show of force by the People's Republic of China (PRC) in the Taiwan Strait in March 1996.

Techno- logically, this classroom is several years ahead of most of its peers, with a dedicated high speed connection to the Internet and several computers capable of displaying video and audio material. These capabilities include a new service called Internet CNN Newsroom, which enables the retrieval of current and archival news footage through the World Wide Web. While the students and teachers have integrated some of these capabilities into their learning and teaching, other features have been neglected.
