Post-Cold War period

Another characteristic of the post-Cold War period, 1989 to abont now, bnt pre-September 11, is that corporate/nniversity partnerships were snpposed to... 

The inclusion of forced migration as a security issue was also part of the conceptual debate in the late 1980s and early 1990s between Realist scholars and their critics on the fundamental question of what is security. For most of the Cold War period the broad consensus within Security Studies was that it should limit itself to the study of the threat, use, and control of military force (Walt 1991 212). In the post-Cold War era, economic, environmental, and identity security concerns were posited as of similar importance to the defence of state sovereignty and territorial integrity. Refugees and asylum seekers were proposed as potential threats to aU these new types of insecurity. 

It was] a period which probably had as many changes, programs, and problems as any comparable period in history post-World War II the Korean War the Cold War reorganization of Department of Defense reorganizations of Department of the Army the war in Vietnam and major advances in medicine, the sciences, nuclear weapons, missiles and aircraft. The sheer volume and frequency of change alone provided some indication of the magnitude of the task to be performed. From the outset, the research effort proved to be difficult and cumbersome. 

Confidence in government also characterized the time after World War II and during the Cold War. Over the history of our country it has been seen that one of the legitimate roles for the federal government is to provide for the national defense. There s been a lot of disagreement about many other tasks but not over this one. Military and security needs carried a lot of development throughout the post-World War II period. Of course, the Vietnam War led to less confidence in the government and caused the termination of classified research projects at universities. 

Although perchlorates have been known since the early nineteenth century, they were not produced commercially until the 1890s. Even then, they were not produced in large volumes until World War II (1939-1945), when they were made for use in explosives. Perchlorate production continued to grow in the post-war period, especially during the military build-up that accompanied the Cold War (1945-1991) between the United States and the Soviet Union. In recent years, however, concerns about the presence of perchlorates in water supplies have become increasingly widespread. 

As alluded to earlier, management practices and regulations are time dependent. For simplification, I intend to divide the discussion into three time periods, World War II and its aftermath, Post World War II till the end of the Cold War, and crystal ball gazing into the future.
