Write a n argumentative paper on the Analytical essay of Deena Freeman, Can Globalization Succeed? A Primer for the 21st Century (Thames &
Hudson, 2021)
apers should be double-spaced, with reasonable fonts and margins (please, no three-inch
margins and 14-point fonts to stretch a three-page paper into five). Three of the papers should
be the equivalent of five double-spaced pages (about 1250 words); one of the papers covers two
books, and therefore should be the equivalent of ten double-spaced pages (about 2500 words).
One very important point (so important that Im typing it again): when you e-mail me your
papers, please send them as text embedded into the body of an e-mail message, NOT as
attached files or links to Google docs. That will save all of us a lot of trouble dealing with
software compatibility problems.
Your papers should go beyond merely summarizing the books you’ve read. Instead, they should
analyze the books. Writing an analytic paper means addressing some of the following points:
1. What is the main argument or arguments the author is making? Do you agree? Disagree?
Why?
2. Are there any important points about the subject area that you think the author has omitted
or under-emphasized? Over-emphasized? Why?
3. What are the key assumptions the author had to make in order to make the arguments in this
book? If those assumptions were different, how would the author’s argument have to be
different?
4. How do the arguments in the book you’re reading compare and contrast with the other
readings we’ve done so far?
5. How does the information presented by the author relate to recent important world events?
Does the author’s work seem still to be relevant today? Or is the world changing so quickly that
even recently-published books on international issues soon grow out of date?
6. What recommendations might you have for United States policy makers — the President, the
Departments of Defense, State, Commerce, etc., the Congress, or others — to cope with the
issues presented in the author’s work?
7. How might you, as a concerned and informed citizen, take steps to cope with the issues
presented in the author’s work?
You may answer any or all of these questions in your paper, or you may write a paper that deals
with the assigned book from a completely different perspective. I am quite flexible in that there
is no standard format for these papers. I simply want your thoughtful, reasoned, analytic
reaction to the ideas presented in each assigned reading.
Please feel free to e-mail me as you read, think, and write, if you have questions or want to
discuss your paper with me before or as you write.
If, for any reason, you choose in your paper to cite source material other than the assigned
reading, please use any of the standard footnoting/endnoting formats. I don’t care which format
you use; just be consistent.
