Seth Rubenstein’s Summary

My area's of expertise within my B.A of Political Science are Political Theory and International Conflicts. Within my minor in history I specialized in Russian and European Cold War History. Combined I can provide a unique view into the history of Russian thought, and of course the future of Russia. On a side-note to current events involving the Republic of Georgia and Russia I have been a vocal proponent of my theory that Russia is on a course of reverting back to its totalitarian days and with a dwindling place in international affairs I have said that it will seek to reassert its place in any way possible. Another theory of mine is what I call "the Resource War" which I feel is what we are seeing begin today with Russia staking its claim to the oil reserves in the Arctic Ocean and of course the vast oil wealth in Georgia's neighbor Azerbaijan. I hope to have a future in intelligence analysis.

In non-polisci related experience I feel that I rule the social web. An avid social network beta tester I get the power of Facebook, and flickr, and twitter, and all the emerging social driven media outlets as a tool to leverage a brand or message to the masses and also communicate ideas.
