The studio groups focus on five thematic areas relating to the problems we analyze in this class. The groups are: Drug trafficking; Weapons trafficking; Weapons of Mass Destruction; Strategy of Insurgency and Counterinsurgency; and Ideology. Each
student is a member of one of the groups.
Each student is called upon to develop a 3-5 page “Position Paper” on
the subject of a policy recommendation.
The position paper is a component of the group’s General Assembly
presentation. It is also submitted
for course credit to the instructor at the end of the term. The
position paper should address one aspect of the Group’s recommendations. The position papers should be organized
by the group to adhere to a consistent set of policy recommendations. However, each student is responsible for
his or her own data collection, thinking, and presentation of the position
paper. The
position paper should be organized in terms of the statement of the problem,
the analysis of the capabilities and goals of the implementing institutions,
the risks of failure, and the prospects for success. The paper should be informed, succinct and
persuasive. The paper need not use
extensive citation, but specific facts and data may be cited and any direct
quotation should be cited. The paper
should be submitted to the instructor in written form on July 25th. |
