Global Studies Question

Pick three readings from the list below

– Falzon, Obstructing Loss and Damage Finance in the United Nations Climate Negotiations. – Maher, B. & Symons, J.. The International Politics of Carbon Dioxide Removal.

For each of the three texts:
Provide a short summary and capture the key argument you believe the author makes, using some data points or examples she/he uses to make the point.

Concluding paragraph:
Provide a concluding paragraph in which you try to relate the three articles to each other, or, if you find this not possible, put what you read in a bigger context of the things we talked about in class.

Your essay will have 4 parts. Put full bibliographical reference as title for each article you pick. Total length: 1000 – 1200 words. Write word count in top right corner.

As for previous assignments pay attention to the following:

Citations: – put full bibliographical references for texts discussed as title. You can copy the bibliographical reference from the syllabus.
– when you directly cite a text passage from one of the readings, provide page number (Rogers, p. 15).
Be selective and go for big picture: Read the texts first, then try to summarize and analyze.

GRADING will be based on:
– effort to identify key arguments,
– organization, clarity of writing and grammar.
– Be concise and precise, avoid vague formulations and repetition. Proof-read before turning in.
