Before the first page of text, put a title page with your name on it. That title page does not count among the seven pages. For other material, provide full footnote reference. You will be evaluated on the basis of your ability to use the explanatory models developed in the first six weeks of the course and the analytic concepts about cooperation discussed in the last four weeks in connection with specific case material. Write your paper as if you were the advisor to a government, in the present period, evaluating important decisions the government had to make.

Evaluate this statement, both its strengths and weaknesses. Use analytic categories discussed throughout the course using cases explored in the last part of the course. Consider how different theories would analyze this statement.
