When Andreas talks about the history of international crime I like how things have changed since the terrorist attack on Sept. 11th 2001. Andreas talks about how we need to police rather than starting a war. He also mentions a wide variety of transnational activities in the recent decades which include guns, people, counterfeit products, and drugs. Andreas mentions what this means for the future and that international crime control efforts are far more intensive and geographically expansive now. Andreas summarizes in asking why the growth of international criminal law enforcement, and his answer is, “it is in response to the growth of transnational crime in an era of globalization.”(7)

Wilsonian Movement: India
Wilson is viewed as larger than human in India. India viewed the United States as potential allies in their struggle for home rule in 1917. Wilson’s popularity grew in Asia, many Indians viewed him as an “instrument of God.” During WWI if India had home rule, India would be able to contribute ten million men to the Allied forces. An organization called the Indian National Congress (INC) was established. It was the first all India political organization that had recognizably nationalist aims. The INC in the beginning focused on defending and expanding the rights of Indians within the framework of the British Empire, rather than challenging the legitimacy of British rule itself.
When World War I started, Indians supported the war effort with 1.2 million men, 800,000 of them in combat roles, fought for the empire in France, Egypt, and Mesopotamia. P81India wanted to be rewarded after the war for helping fight in it; the British Cabinet decided that it would be a cautious to declare Britain’s intention to allow Indians a greater measure of self government after the war. After not getting much self government from Britain Indian revolutionaries began to advocate violent action to free India from British rule. In May 1918, a federal jury in San Francisco convicted twenty- nine of the defendants for conspiring to foment revolution in India in violation of U.S. neutrality.
Lala Lajpat Rai who was took over as the nations figure, was a well educated person who was forced to travel in America because he couldn’t go back to India during the War. Rai had optimism about Wilson’s importance for the Indian struggle. Many Indians grew restless and there were mainly two groups now extremists and super extremists both groups wanted to move faster and further toward a self government than the British wanted to do. The Indians’ would soon discover that Wilson was not that committed to the universal application of self determination as his popular image suggested.
Tilak and Gandhi (men of the INC) represented India at the peace conference. Some in the nationalist press felt that the entire hope of India lay in President Wilson. After many debates that India as a nation was self determined to govern itself failed. India’s representatives at the Peace Conference wanted new goals for India as a nation to be able to self governs India. The pamphlet India gave at the Peace Conference was to so the demands of India. For instance not wanting for separation of England, but home rule to self determines themselves. For example they wanted the Monroe Doctrine for India just like it saved the South American Republics for self development. It wouldn’t be until ten years later that they would get complete independence, but at the Peace Conference in 1919, was a national movement which swung toward the goal of terminating British rule in India.
