I will attach the reading along with lecture notes. You can scroll down to week 2 lecture 6 to find potential material you’d write about

What topic should you choose?

I require you to describe and evaluate the progress or failure to develop economicallyof a country or region over a period of time. The country or region may be any one in Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific. (You may not choose Britain, Ireland, or a country in continental Europe, or the U.S. or Canada, or Australia or New Zealand, but you may write about Russia or Japan.) Your writing should focuson how and why economic development proceeded—rapidly, slowly, or not at all, as the case may be. You should select a period of time, shorter or longer as you see fit. (A paper on the economic development of a colony before it became a sovereign nation is an appropriate topic, e.g., the Gold Coast under British rule before independence as Ghana in 1957.) If you are in any doubt about what would make a suitable country and/or time period for your term paper, contact me.

How to research the topic

To get you started, look through the case studies in our textbook, Todaro & Smith 2015, and then consult the following resource: The New Palgrave Dictionary of EconomicsLiving Edition (2019- ) online at https://link.springer.com/referencework/10.1057%2F978-1-349-95121-5

(Your library registration gives you access to this and other online materials.)

Visit the sixth floor of the King library, especially in the HC class, where you will find many books on this and related topics.

If the university library doesn’t have a particular book, you may find that either another CSU library (CSU+) or your local public library has a copy of the book. And if none of those do, you can order the book through Interlibrary Loan or Link+. http://library.sjsu.edu/services/csu-interlibrary-loan-and-other-resources

And bear in mind that it’s okay to use discriminating and thoughtful use of websites containing worthwhile material (but be sure to cite correctly what you find—full URL and date visited).

Instructions for writing the paper

The paper should be typed in Times New Roman 12-point font (and use italic,boldor underlinesparingly), double-spaced (like this sentence), and with one-inch margins, top and bottom, left and right.

The paper (not including the cover sheet and the bibliography and/or references) should be 1500-2500 words in length. You should deliver a hard copyto my office (DMH 144—I’ll check the envelope attached to my office door several times a day). Papers that are too short lose points. And papers that exceed 2500 words had better be worth reading!

Instructions for writing the paper (cont’d)

You should write your full name, “Econ 112,” “Spring 2020,” and the word count (not including the bibliography and/or references) on the cover sheet. Large, clearly labeled diagrams may be used where appropriate (but don’t include them in the word count). A bibliography and/or references typed in a consistent format should be included at the end of the paper. A 1500-word paper withouta cover sheet, diagrams, and bibliography would fill 5-6 pages depending on the spacing between paragraphs.

A hard copy of the paper itself is due by 10 PM on Monday, April 20(when DMH closes that evening). You will lose points if you are late in submitting your paper. The paper itself counts for up to twenty points toward your final grade for the course. (And the proposal counts for up to five points.)

PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS.

Deadlines

You are welcome to discuss your proposal with me, and run a draft proposal by me at jmarkbrady@gmail.com.

You are also welcome to run a draft of your paper by me. Any draft that you wish to submit for my comments is due by 11:59 PM on Sunday, April 5, (that’s three weeks’ time) to be returned by Friday, April 10.

This semester I will accept a draft that is an MS Word document (but not a pdf) and emailed(with your name and Econ 112 and “Draft Term Paper” as the name of the file) to bradytermpapers@gmail.com. (Any other inquiries should be sent to jmarkbrady@gmail.com.) And be advised that I won’t accept drafts that are faxed.

Help is available!

If you experience any difficulty in completing this assignment, please do not hesitate to ask me for help. I am available most every day Monday through Friday 9 AM – 5 PM (and sometimes after 5 PM) by appointment (please suggest a couple of times). But I advise against dropping by without an appointment.

Bibliography

Here are some books to extend your understanding of economic development and perhaps help you write a better term paper.

P. T. Bauer (1915-2002) is noted for his opposition to the widely held notion that the most effective manner to help developing countries advance is through state-controlled foreign aid. Go here for a list of his most important works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Thomas_Bauer#Major_works

2 Pages double spaced on the following prompt:

Berkeley’s philosophical views might seem to leave him open to the charge that he is unable to draw a distinction that persons of common sense do, namely, the distinction between appearance and reality. What is it about Berkeley’s views that seem to leave him susceptible to this criticism? How does Berkeley respond to the criticism that he cannot draw a distinction between illusory sensory experiences (e.g. the stick that appears bent in water) and veridical sensory experiences?

Points of Notice:

Make sure to cite text (from the Principles and/or Three Dialogues)

Keep response structure and points as clear and concise as possible.

I’ve attached some of my notes and a general outline below

Preferably completed by May 1, 11:59pm PT
