You have been hired as historical consultant for a new international development agency known as the Klein Fund that has been formed to rectify what its founders perceive to be the past mistakes of the "shock doctrine" era from the 1970s to the early 2000s. They are wondering whether there have been enough similarities from country to country to justify a unified approach based on their common past experiences, or whether they are likely to have to generate significantly different plans for each country they assist. The Fund's directors would like you to write a report based on historical examples discussed in Naomi Klein's book,The Shock Doctrine, supplemented by primary sources available to you, if you wish. In the report, you are expected to offer an evidence-based opinion about whether the various countries (case studies) that Klein discusses have mainly fit a common overall historical pattern with only minor variations, or whether the countries' experiences during the "shock doctrine" era were all so different from one another that those variations have overwhelmed any similarities. Your report should be arranged like a longer version of the in-class essays you have been writing: brief introductory paragraph, where you outline a clear and specific thesis in response to the prompt, followed by several paragraphs presenting evidence and examples that support your position.
