Identify
a nation and use a problem or issue selected from the Transnational Problems
area of the nation’s fact pages from The World Fact Book located at: https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/index.html
(if the link won’t work – google CIA Factbook).
Choose a
policy maker you want to advise. The policy makers in this scenario are to be
briefed on an issue or problem associated with a specific nation that your team
selects from The World Fact Book. Remember that this is not a history
assignment, focus should be on the current issue, and the current policy (proposed)
solution.
Note.
A policy brief is a report given to a policy maker, such as the U.S. State
Department, an agency of the United Nations, the chief executive officer of a
multinational corporation, the Director-General of the World Trade
Organization, or the head of an NGO.
Prepare a
8- to 10-slide presentation and a 2000-word policy brief. Be sure to use a
minimum of 10 peer-reviewed journal
article references as research for your presentation and brief.
Include
the following in the brief and presentation:
·
A description of the problem
·
Facts and assumptions about the problem
·
Discussion and several options for solving it
·
Which solution you think is best and why
·
An explanation of how the advantages of the
solution outweigh the potential liabilities
Be
sure to address technology implications and/or considerations
