So I must choose a major issue of international concern or a conflict and keep a record of weekly news about the topic (atleast one report per week). (it has been 15 weeks)

The report will consist of:

(a) one page introduction to the topic/issue

(b) a short paragraph summary of news or events related to the topic for each week of the course (15)

(c) a one-page conclusion about the subject and your projection of how the issue or conflict is likely to evolve or be resolved in the future. The overall report should not exceed 5 pages (including one page intro & one page conclusion)
