The aim of this paper will be to demonstrate and showcase my improved understanding of emergency decision making. I will achieve this by conducting a case study and discussing the reading ‘Police Commander – The Notting Hill Riot”, written by Tony Moore of the Disaster Management Centre, Cranfield University in 2002. I will include a detailed timeline of events that occurred during the Notting Hill riots on the 20 April 1982, with particular focus on the progressive decision points of the incident. Each of these decision points will be charted in the timeline and relevant pieces of information that influenced the decision will be included for analysis.
Strategic factors played a changing role in Britain’s relationship with its African empire throughout the expansion period 1870-1902, the consolidation period 1902-1955 and the de-colonisation period 1955-1981. In some of these periods Strategy was right at the foreground of Britain’s rule in Africa and other times it was pushed to the back by other major factors. These include economic considerations, International relations, changing attitudes and nationalism. Many historians such as Martin Pugh saw that ‘the most obvious motive for British expansion was strategic’. Britain’s strategic motives in Africa centred on thwarting the growth of rival European powers as well as securing its interests in Africa.

Chase Torrence English 155 Tu/Th: 11:00am Making a Change In the book, Audacity of Hope, author and United States President, Barrack Obama, captures the essence of unity and equality and offers ways of bringing about such ideas by suggesting for Americans to change the way they view one another and society; in order to create a better America. Obama brings up the issues of, politics, values, and race. These issues are the arguments he talks about in his book and the arguments he is addressing to the public. His arguments are arguments of politics and how it is corrupted, the argument of values and how one is to look at themselves and others around them, and lastly the argument on race and how we Americans must accept all race and all
By his continuation of so-called 'Monroe Doctrine' , Roosevelt used a military power of the country to have an impact on the issue of politics in Latin America.The Panama Canal was built at that time (which was a shortcut for the ships). As a president of the US, Roosevelt was interested in what happened in other places in the world. In 1905, he contributed to the ceasefire between Japan and Russia. A year later, he won a Nobel Peace Prize for that. When it comes to his internal policy, he set up a 'Sqaure Deal'.
Roosevelt added the Roosevelt Corollary to the Doctrine. This stated that it was the responsibility of America to intervene with force if necessary in Latin America to enforce the Monroe Doctrine. This was part of what became known as 'Big Stick Diplomacy'. From 1904-05, the Russo-Japanese War occurred. Roosevelt was the mediator of the peace between the two countries.

The Monroe Doctrine of 1823 remains to have significant influence across every nation. Sovereigns upon this international stage have adopted this political order as part of their foreign policy. Initially established by President James Monroe, it has become a longstanding presence within the United States foreign policy over the years. The original purpose of the Monroe Doctrine was to secure the “continents” of the United States from outside threats; more importantly, from any further advancement of the European nation. As a young nation maturing into a respected power, the United States, a spectator society as it were, would ideally police and protect their “brethren republics” of Latin America and other nations within the Western
