NAFTA -Research paper
NAFTA
Case Assignment
I am trying to push the concept of “unification” in this course (in case you could not tell!). NAFTA clearly unifies North America in a profound way.
What is being “unified” with the adoption of NAFTA?
What are the positive and negative aspects of NAFTA? (Be sure and consider the perspectives of people in different economic sectors and participant nations)
Please answer this question in the context of the background information provided, and any information you can find in our library and on the web.
I am interested in two things here.
First, I want to see what you think about the concept of “unification”. Be creative.
Second, I want you to research the issue carefully. Use the research to make your point about unification and cite your sources carefully.
Write two to three pages and hand it in by the end of this module.

Assignment Expectations
The cases in POL 201 generally call for a detailed analysis of a particular situation. In addressing case questions, such an analysis requires some historical perspective and a balanced and thorough consideration of challenges facing efforts at unification or, at least, the peaceful resolution of disputes between peoples in the nation being studied.
Israel and the Palestinians (MOD 3 SLP)
Israel and the Palestinians
The Middle East is important to the United States. We get most of our oil from the region and investment from the Arab states is of growing importance in our economy. The United States strongly supports Israel, but also has had dealings with Palestinian political groups. US leadership in conflicts with and in Iraq and tense relations with Iran and Syria add to the muddled situation. Further complicating matters is the changing role of Russia in the region and our relationship with that nation. Finally, relations with the European Union and NATO necessarily influence how we deal with the Israel-Palestine question and other issues rising in the Middle East.
How should the U.S. approach its relations with Israel in light of developments in the Middle East?
Write a 2- to 3-page overview of this issue and hand it in before the end of this term.

Homeland responces
Responding to a classmate’s thread requires both the addition of new ideas and analysis. A particular point made by the classmate must be addressed and built upon by your analysis in order to move the conversation forward. Thus, the reply is a rigorous assignment that requires you to build upon the thread to develop deeper and more thorough discussion of the ideas introduced. As such, replies that merely affirm, restate or unprofessionally quarrel with the previous thread(s) and fail to make a valuable, substantive contribution to the discussion will receive appropriate point deductions.
.
In addition to the thread, you are required to reply to 2 other classmates’ threads. Each reply must be at least 100 words. Acceptable sources include the textbook, peer-reviewed journal articles, government sources, professional association websites, etc.
