Six-Party Talks Setting Stage for New Diplomacy in
Northeast Asia (2008-07-02) The
diplomatic process behind North Korea’s abandonment
of its nuclear arsenal could lead to a new era of
peace and stability for the region, says America’s
top diplomat for East Asia and the Pacific.
“The Six-Party process is not only beginning to show
some results in the issue of denuclearization; we're
also showing results in the issue of bringing the
countries closer together,” Assistant Secretary of
State Christopher Hill said in a July 1 appearance
at Washington’s Center for Strategic and
International Studies.

 Democracy
in Brief Democracy may be a word familiar to
most, but it is a concept still misunderstood and
misused at a time when dictators, single-party regimes,
and military coup leaders alike assert popular support

 The
long Campaign: U.S. Elections 2008 eJournal USA
In a true democracy, people are free to
disagree. As we enter the 2008 election cycle, we will
see candidates, voters, pollsters, and pundits agree and
disagree on just about everything. Do voters choose the
president based on issues or leadership qualities? Does
the Electoral College work or should the election system
be changed? Do political polls mean anything months
before an election? Far ahead of the November 2008
elections, campaigning was well underway, the
presidential candidates had already held several
debates, campaign ads were popping up, and poll results
were cited frequently. In the 2008 elections, U.S.
voters will have the opportunity to vote for president
and vice president, congressional representatives, state
and local officials, and ballot initiatives. There is
much at stake.
