Minimum 3 pages, double-spaced.
Assignment will be marked down for each day or fraction of a day late (that is, if you send it at midnight, it’s late).
Students turning in papers containing plagiarism will fail the course.
What would be the effects of an American withdrawal from the North American Free Trade Agreement?
Sources: Your paper should refer to at least one assigned course reading plus at least three articles from mainstream news sources (New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, BBC, Wall Street Journal, Al Jazeera, etc.). The news sources you use must have been published after August 1, 2017. There is no need to research more extensive background material from books, government documents, etc.
Sources must be cited properly, using a consistent citation format (e.g. MLA, APA, or Chicago).
This assignment asks you to apply concepts from the course to a particular, real-world issue.
Grades will be based on four things:
- Writing. The paper must have a clear thesis, stated early. The rest of the paper should contain facts and logic that support the thesis, and should properly cite sources.
- Analysis of trade. What are the consequences of economic integration?
- Analysis of the effects of international cooperation. What are the consequences of American acceptance of international commitments?
