The objective of this study is to determine Pakistan's place in contemporary U.S. national security strategy. Today, U.S.-Pakistan relations are strained due to the Pressler Amendment to the Foreign Assistance Act. The Pressler Amendment prohibits arms transfers from the United States to Pakistan in response to Pakistani efforts to develop a nuclear weapon capability. This thesis provides a historical background to the current impasse by examining Pakistani foreign objectives in South And Southwest Asia.

Innovation is widely seen as one of the cornerstones of organisational success and sustainability in an environment characterised by intense competition. The frontline employee is increasingly being seen as a critical component in an organisation's innovation effort, due to their close proximity to and frequent engagement with the customer. Yet there is a lack of insight into what motivates frontline employees to be innovative. The purpose of this research is to gain insight into the specific motivators that influence the propensity of frontline employees to innovate. This research took the fo

Policing is considered highly stressful, and this is particularly true for the police in Jamaica. Along with the everyday demands and pressures of police work, these officers also contend with socio-economic challenges and high levels of crime and violence. However, there is a lack of empircal data on police stress and its effects in this context. Furthermore, while much progress has been made over the past four decades, it has been argued that there is a need for more thorough and organised research frameworks in understanding the complexities of police stress and its consequences.
