This assignment gives you an opportunity to explore in greater depth a topic within the subject that happens to interest you. In essence, your assignment should seek to apply some of the economic theory studied to a particular real- world case study, policy debate or controversy. Examples of possible titles include:
- Are global1 trade2 patterns consistent with economic theory?
- How might democratic states avoid a ‘protectionist backlash' against free trade?
- If there are gains from trade liberalisation, then why do countries so often choose protectionism?
- What is the proper role of free trade within successful economic policy?
- Is trade liberalisation necessary for economic growth and development?
- Does inward FDI benefit developing countries or are they exploited by MNEs?
- Does outward FDI deindustrialise or enrich Western nations?
Or any other title within the scope of the subject that reflects your own partic- ular interests. If you choose your own title, you may wish to check its suitability with me. (A word of advice: In order to focus your work, it can often be a good idea to frame your title as a question.)
An important part of this assignment is the work you put into framing and then researching your own topic. Possible sources of inspiration for a title are the assigned textbook and a selection of journal readings listed below. Please do feel free to consult me concerning your ideas for a title and/or possible sources for background reading and research.
