Your paper should include the following:

• An introduction in which you describe a country’s or region’s international trade patterns with one or many of its important trade partners. You must use statistical data and factual information to address this question.

• Integrate at least two economic concepts from the course (e.g., tariffs, supply and demand, externalities, the gains of trade and comparative advantage, common resources, monopolies and oligopolies) in your responses to the following bullet points. Use graphs, charts, equations, and so on to relate the theories that you choose.

• Explain at least two specific negative impacts of international trade or of globalization on the country or region that you chose.

Explain how these groups were positively or negatively impacted. Consider the ethical and social implications of various aspects of the economy in your response.

• Propose a detailed policy recommendation that you believe would help to mitigate the adverse impacts or enhance the positive impacts of trade or globalization on the country or region that you chose.
