Please answer one of the following question in an essay between 750 and 1000 words.

Your answer must include three (3) specific references to the required readings and two (2) specific references to articles in the World Politics Blog which can be accessed at: http://vferraro1971.wordpress.com/. The purpose of these requirements is to demonstrate that you can take the theoretical propositions developed in the course and apply them directly to contemporary events.
