Advanced Placement Comparative Government

Term Paper Due: Monday, March 12, 2012	Mr. Singh and Mrs. Waples
AP Comparative Government students will evaluate information accessed from CCHS Library Databases, critically and competently, and write an analytical research paper.
Assignment
In the past, states were the most important actors on the world stage. However, globalization has given rise to other important entities. International organizations (such as the United Nations, NATO, the International Monetary Fund, and the EU) and multinational corporations (such as Walmart and Starbucks) have grown in influence. In light of this trend, in a term paper no longer than 6 pages, assess the impact of international organizations and multinational corporations on on the quality of life in developing countries. Support your thesis with evidence. You do not need to address both sides of the issues. Cite at least 4 sources in your paper. Your paper should consist of (1) an introduction with an analytical thesis, (2) background information about how international organizations and multinational corporations operate, and (3) your analysis of whether these organizations have a negative impact on the quality of life in developing countries.
Important information
You may use only your textbook, Globalization Briefing Paper, and the databases and links provided. You must use at least four sources. Use parenthetical referencing. Remember to cite all sources you use, not just the ones you quote directly. Included a complete works cited page. Submit your paper through TurnItIn.com In addition, print at hard copy for your instructor. Instructors may reduce a student's score by up to one grade due to poor mechanics, grammar, or spelling.
