Your job is to summarize a special report from The Economist published in last 3 years (2020, 2019, or 2018). The
special report you choose must be about globalization, trade, or any international issue. If you’re not sure, choose a
report and email me. To get started, do the following:
- Visit http://www.economist.com/printedition/specialreports and scroll through the special reports, choose one
report about globalization, trade, or any international issue. - Read every article in the report. If you don’t have a subscription to The Economist, then you’ll only be able
to access a few articles a week. This is why it is crucial to start printing and reading the articles in the report
as early as possible. - Write the paper as follows: Your paper should have three sections: Introduction, Summary and Analysis and
should be 1500 words (that’s about 5 pages).
1 Introduction
In the Introduction (150 words) you should outline the importance of the topic and what issues the report talks
about.
Introduce the report (title, date of publication, and publication title) and provide a brief motivation of why
this is an important or timely report. Why is this interesting not only to economists, but to individuals, or
institutions? Discuss the big picture and the report’s general direction or opinion on the matter.
