Political Issues in the changing world
Global Terorism
The word terrorism has become famous nowadays. Triggered by the 9/11 attack on WTC, campaigns against terorism has then become major concern in most contries, especially those countries whose foreign policies are considered unfavorable for certain other countries.
Never ending dispute between Palestine and Israel has created strong resistance in arab countries to countries that support Israel's policy upon palestine. This situation has led to the birth of new generation which is trying to struggle against the inequality.
Bombing, kidnapping, and many other form of activities has been done by these movements to show their resistence and suppress power domination. U.S, U.K, and Australia are countries that are considered behind, or at least support, Israel's policies in palestine. For that reason, many terorism activities has been targeted to attack these contries's infrastructure, interests, and even citizen.
On the other hand, the alliance of U.S, U.K, and Australia in many cases has encouraged big campaigns to undermine the resistance which is dubbed terorism. The Afganistan war, and subsequently followed by attacking Iraq are some obvious examples. Weapon of mass destruction is one of the issues to justify those campaigns. Iran and North Korea are now becoming aware of the tendency that the same issue will be used to oppress their resistence to the domination.

Reducing Tariff Wall
Non-tariff wall is more utilized to replace tariff wall to protect domestic market by some countries nowadays. While tariff wall still exists. When governments use tariff as an instrument to influence or restrain other governments, the field of international politics and intrigue is entered.
With the foundation of EU, the restriction of WTO, the requirements of economic and homeland industry development, most countries have abandoned utilizing tariff wall.
It isn’t necessary for all nations to agree jointly and simultaneously to remove restrictions. If only one nation does it, some good is accomplished—both for itself and for its customers. A great nation could do it and thus set an example for others to follow. It would not be meddling in the affairs of other nations; it would merely be looking after the best interests of its own citizens. And instead of being resentful, other nations would be eternally grateful.
