Assignment:
Congratulations! Your political candidate won the election. Now it's time to make some changes. Your job, as the national security advisor to your newly elected candidate, is to brief the policymaker on policy recommendations in one of the following areas:
• Cyberthreats
• Worldwide Climate Change
• Israeli-Palestinian Relations
• North Korea Nuclear Ambitions
• Narcoterrorism in Mexico
• Worldwide Human Trafficking
• Depopulation worldwide
• Worldwide Opioid Addiction
• Threats from Islamic State
• India-Pakistan Conflict
• Russian Threats to Europe
• China's Global Ambition
• Civil Wars around the world (pick one)
• The Tri-border Region
Choosing one of the threats listed above, research and collect information to include (in whatever order you would like):
1. Historical data,
2. Exploration of relevant policy questions,
3. Political issues,
4. An up-to-date summary of recent events on your topic to help your new policymaker in his/her first day in office.
Get creative. Choose a specific policy position - Senator, Congressman, President, etc. (You could also use an appointed position, like Secretary of State or Ambassador to the UN etc.)
Although most policy backgrounders do not include citations, this one will. You need to cite ALL of your information.
Technical Requirements
• Your paper must be at a minimum of 8 to 10 pages (the Title and Reference pages do not count towards the minimum limit).

• Type in Times New Roman, 12 point and double space.
• Students will follow the current Turabian Style as the sole citation and reference style used in written work submitted as part of coursework.
