State Level Analysis of India

Country Paper:

Each student will choose a country of his or her own interest ( I have chosen India ), and will write 1 paper of approximately four pages in lengh. The paper will be based in a specific topic in international relations, and how they relate to your country. You are encouraged to use outside sources to research your specific country. A great place to start with this is the CIA world factbook (www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/) Remember, if you use the internet to research, be sure it is a credible source (wikipedia is NOT!!). More information about researching can be found on the writing resources page on Blackboard. Papers will always be due on the Friday of the week they are assigned. Late papers will be penalized one letter grade for each class it is late, papers more than 2 weeks late will not be accepted under any circumstance. Papers should be submitted through the Assignments tool in Blackboard. The subjects for the papers are as follows.
