Final Paper Assignment AAA 207 China, East Asia, and Globalization Fall of 2015 The third paper assignment asks you to write a policy memo, offering your suggestions to President Barak Obama with respect to the Sino- American relationship in the age of Globalization. It is not about the US global strategy, but about its policy toward China and East Asia. Your paper must include: 1) Identify the challenges that the USA is facing toward China and in East Asia; 2) Place the challenges in the globalization context by indicating your view about the changing world: unilateral, bilateral, multilateral, or non-lateral; 3) Analyze the "rebalancing" policies that the USA is carrying out toward China and in the East Asia, their justifications and flaws; 4) Offer your suggestions to change, or modify, or continue the policies, and argue for your position. You are asked to place all your thoughts in a memo of about three to four pages, and proper references must be included. The paper will be due on Tuesday or Wednesday, Dec. 1 or 2, during our last regular classroom meeting. No delay is accepted.
