MR22: Justice, Paper 2
Is it wrong for law enforcement officials to use racial, ethnic, or religious profiling in deciding whom to search in airports, train stations, subways?
This rush job worried me a little (such an abrupt end!), but it did well and I’m satisfied.

MR22: Justice, Paper 1

Historical Study A-12 Short Paper 3
Trade Liberalization:
Winners, Losers and the Collective Action Problem
I was desperate for a good grade so I pandered shamelessly to the (pretty low, imho) expectations of the TF.  It’s not flawless (at least one big problem, actually), but it’s decent, and my TF loved it.
(May 2005)

Historical Study A-12 Short Paper 2
Liberalism v. Hegemonic Stability Theory:
A Constructivist Rejection of Hegemony
A paper I put quite a bit of effort into, but which wasn’t very well-received by my TF.  Despite that, I’m pretty satisfied with the essay.
(March 2005)
