From 2002 to 2015, the Iranian nuclear program was a central issue of U.S. foreign policy. This issue was addressed by the administrations of Presidents George W.

This study argues that in addressing the issue of the Iranian nuclear program, ther

Bosnia-Herzegovina and Northern Ireland are similar in many ways. Both cases have experienced wars that left the people fragmented and traumatized. But one aspect that separates them is their peace processes. In Bosnia, a peace deal was brokered after three months of intense negotiations.
