Instructions for Paper 2 – Trade History and Organizations

Topic (Option 1): Select a trade round (Uruguay, Doha Round, or NAFTA).  What were its most important provisions? What were its impacts? What were the most difficult points to agree on?  How did it impact the United States (or another country of interest to you)?

Topic (Option 2): Select an organization (U.S. International Trade Commission, WTO, IMF, World Bank, or any development bank). Discuss how the organization affects trade. What is the organization’s mission? Who gets a voice in decision making? How does it affect the United States? How does it affect other countries? Keep the history of the organization short. Focus more on what the organization does. What are some criticisms of the organization?  How could its governance be improved for trade or development?

This is a senior level course.  The paper MUST BE TYPED and submitted on Canvas.  This paper should be well  researched.  Include trade data, research papers, and current articles in your writing.  CITE your sources (see notes below on citing and plagiarism). Include your own analysis tying your paper to concepts we are learning in this course.

Instructions for writing papers: A well-written paper will be 1,500 words or more in length. Your paper should also demonstrate your ability to analyze data and facts and relate them to the concepts you are learning in this course. This, plus the accuracy of the information in your paper regarding the topic above, will count for 70 percent of your grade on the paper.

The College of Business Administration (COBA) supports a writing rubric in order to ensure your COBA professors are supporting the same standards of writing. Your paper will be graded based on that rubric, which is detailed below. This will count for 30 percent of your grade on the paper.

PLAGIARISM OF ANY KIND WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!!! Taking someone else’s words or ideas without giving them credit is plagiarism. Plagiarism will reduce your score on a paper to a 0 and your final grade in the course by 10%. To help avoid plagiarizing, make sure you:

1. Place any quotation in quotation marks “just like this” with an in-line citation (Carbaugh, 2018, p. 35)
2. All sources are appropriately cited at the end of the paper either in APA or MLA format. Make sure you are consistent and thorough when citing references.
3. Any ideas you get from another source are cited with an in-line citation (Carbaugh, 2018, p.48)
