Assignment:
In the debate between whether the growth of regionalism and free trade agreements harm or support globalization, how would a Marxist analyze this contention?
In every answer ask yourself "how?" and "why?" to make sure you develop sufficient details and explanation. All answers will require a theoretical position, as well as critique.
-Unlike the comparative paper, the final is to show me that you know as much as possible.
Make sure your essays cover:
Descriptions
- using facts and details to back up your argument
Explanation
- showing and using your understanding of mechanisms and effects in trade and finance.
Analysis
- use theoretical concepts from the class to develop your own arguments
