Assignment for Global Trends


Total Marks: 30 %
1. International Relations is often criticized for its state-centric approach, i.e., assuming that
the state is the most significant actor on the international stage. Is that a safe assumption
in a global era? In what instances are non-state actors (foundations, nongovernmental
organizations, international organizations) just as important as, or even more important
than, states? Given their influence, what could be done to manage, respond to, control, or
limit their role esp. in developing countries such as Ethiopia? (6 Pts.)
2. Why do countries trade with one another? What are the advantages and disadvantages of
international trade? What are the types of barriers countries erect to manage trade? Do
you believe international trade is a net positive for everyone? (6 Pts.)
3. What is the democratic peace theory? What are its limitations? (6 Pts.)
4. Define multipolarity, bipolarity, and unipolarity, using a historical example to illustrate
each. What best describes today’s world: Is it unipolarity, bipolarity, or multipolarity?
Why? (6 Pts.)
5. What do you believe are the best and worst aspects of globalization? Whom has it helped
and whom has it hurt? Can anything be done to promote the positives of globalization
and mitigate the negatives? (6 Pts.)
