This individual project is designed to test your ability to conduct research, analyze, and distill that research, organize and draw out themes, and then present the research in cogent and succinct written document. Minimum five (5) to seven (7) single-spaced pages excluding appendices and reference list. Submit via attachment to the assignment in MS Word format, using 12-point font and 1" margins. This paper constitutes a significant portion of your grade, and thus is not a typical homework assignment. When it doubt, provide MORE detail. Assume that the reader has NO experience or knowledge of the subject matter, and explain/define all terms or concepts you introduce (and properly cite your source!).

Choose from one of the following paper topics:

1. Brexit - causes and implications?

2. Trans-Pacific Partnership: why does it matter?

3. What does climate change have to do with the global economy?

4. What impact does terrorism have on global trade?
