Briefing paper – international law and organization

Each student will write an analytic briefing paper (maximum 1,000 words, not including the references) structured around a specific argument and well-grounded in as many relevant course readings as possible. Your job is to explain to her the key institutional dimensions of global governance: Who and what makes up this universe? What are the core dynamics? What are the key trends? Your sources will be the readings for the first 5 weeks of this course (including the websites of the various institutions listed for all the readings). This paper must put forth a central argument and develop analysis which is supported throughout the text by specific references to course readings. State the word count at the beginning of your paper.
