I chose the country Myanmar to write about it’s foreign policy.  Please follow the instruction given by the proffesor  on the file that I attached.  Begin with a brief description of the country: Where is it? How large is it? Is it an island? What countries are nearby? What is its place in the region in terms of “power”? And what is its place in the world in terms of “power”?  What is its economy like? Is it developed or developing? Are there any internal major socioeconomic problems (such as poverty, environmental decay etc)? Which countries are its trading partners?  What is the political system in your country? Is it democratic? Is there a coalition or a unitary government? Checks and balances: congress, executive etc? What is the decision-making system? Does the leader, with his or her advisors, make the decisions without major constraints, or is there a lot of “log rolling” and compromise?  What is the leader like? Personality? Operational code? The Bureaucracy: which bureaucracies are involved in foreign affairs? As far as the Foreign Affairs Department (State Department in the US) is concerned, are there a lot of embassies abroad? Is the military involved in foreign affairs? Society: what would you say is the national image the country wants to project (if you can determine it from statements you have read)? What is the dominant culture of the country’s people?  Do you think that the people can have in input in foreign affairs? Can you find any examples of the masses organizing on any foreign issue? Is there a few media? Put this all together now. Go to the foreign ministry website and say how the country’s foreign policy is described there. Add: do YOU think that the country is pursuing a foreign policy that is appropriate and successful (successful means: does it help the country be secure and prosperous)
