Discussing and analyzing the past, present, and (potential) future effects of the Covid-19 pandemic with respect to international security and globalization, as these concepts are explored in our readings.
Develop your paper by juxtaposing Covid-19 with how the concepts, principles, and commentary studied relate to the manner in which events have unfolded, and continue to unfold, since the pandemic went global. You may take any rational approach. For instance, has Covid-19 significantly affected or influenced military capabilities of NATO?
What are some of the most adverse social, political, defense, economic, fiscal, trade, cultural, and human rights aspects of the pandemic now manifesting on the world stage, and with what implications for international security and globalization? These are only suggestions to get you started. They are not your script or blueprint. It’s your paper, so write what most interests you. Be imaginative. Impress.
Limit direct quotes to those absolutely necessary for a full exposition of the discussion or analysis then at issue. I expect your research paper to consist almost exclusively of text in your own words. Use as needed but don’t fill up the pages with quotes, charts, and tables or your score will suffer. The watchword for this kind of writing is paraphrase, paraphrase, paraphrase.
