answer question using The Commmunist Manifesto.

Question: Marx and Engels’ The Communist Manifesto is often regarded as one of
the first true works of ‘world’ literature. In part, this is a result of their
attention to the limits of nationalism and the importance of class as a
concept found across cultures. How do Marx and Engels appeal to an
audience that is ‘beyond’ borders? Why is class conflict a useful lens for
them to explain both ‘local’ and ‘global’ economic change?

Papers must be 750 words (about 3 pages) in length, double-spaced, 12-Point,
Times New Roman, with 1” margins all around. Do not restate the prompt below on the first page
of your paper. Do not write one sentence on page three and consider your work done. You should
have a TITLE at the beginning of your essay, with your NAME and PSCI2014 as the only
other headings. You Must Have An Argumentative Thesis Statement: Political theory is about
demonstrating both historical and textual knowledge. Your paper should address what we know
about Marx, his context, his approach, and his objectives, all in the process of defending a
specific claim that answers the questions above. State this clearly in your first paragraph.
2. You Must Have Textual Evidence: Any good paper in political theory will contain ample and
well-chosen textual evidence. That means you will have numerous, but brief textual citations
to demonstrate the strength of your thesis. Apart from lectures, no outside sources should be
used. Use parenthetical citations with relevant page numbers from our text (e.g., Marx 177). Make sure to draw as many illustrations from the text as possible and connect them with your larger point. Tell us why these exchanges are important to you. Remember political theory is about showing us how you you arrived at your understanding.
