PROMPT
Identify one country in Southeast Asia. Write a paper in which you discuss one way in which this country has benefited or been hurt by international trade since 1990.
Section 1 (Analysis): Identify and explain how the country has either benefited or been hurt using at least one economic model. Support your analysis using graphs, quotes from authorities (academic economists), and statistical data.
Section 2 (Solution Analysis): Identify and explain a policy employed by the country that had a role in causing the effects discussed in Section 1, using at least one economic model. Support your analysis using graphs, quotes from authorities (academic economists), and statistical data.
Section 3 (Evaluation): In Section 1 you argued that international trade had benefitted or hurt the country you chose in a specific way. In this section identify and explain a counter-argument. Consider these questions: If you argued that the country benefitted, what were the downsides? And vice-versa, if you argued that it was hurt, what were the upsides of trade for that country? Support your analysis using graphs, quotes from authorities (academic economists), and statistical data.
