Description: Group project with individual contribution

Groups consist of 4 individuals, each one responsible for 2000 – 2500 words of the final document. Each group member should write his/her name on each page of his/her individual section.

The project should include two main parts:
1. A review of the literature on your chosen global challenge
2. A comparative analysis of the impact of that global challenge on two countries, one from the Global North, the other from the Global South.

Our group chose the topic Globalization and Multinationals.

We are 4 students per group 2 going for north, 2 for south, each one of those 2 will focus on pro globalization and multinational stand and the other will take the “against” stand.

My group decided on using Vietnam for the Global South and the USA for the global north!

I am the against stand for Globalization and Multinationals in the global north (United States of America)!

1. Review the literature on the science, discuss the key debates on the topic, examine the global response to the issue.
2. Complete a comparative analysis of Globalization and Multinationals as it relates to the USA and Vietnam: its likely impact, government policy etc.

Any questions don’t hesitate asking!
