The purpose of this final project is to apply many of the topics studied through the course, to another specific global issue. Since no issue is single faceted, any choice will inevitably pertain to some combination of Economic Development, Geopolitics, Regional Disparities in Meeting Basic Human Needs, and Protecting The Planet’s Life-support Systems. The task for the student is to apply at least three of these facets to the topic he or she chooses.
