The goal is to provide an overview and background information regarding your issue. Think of this part as setting the stage, or creating some buzz for your final assignment. Avoid going into your specific policy recommendations in Week 6; you will do that in a later assignment. Focus on establishing the current policy and discussing the reasons for change. You will accomplish this by describing the current policy and the reasons for change through a presentation of relevant images with audio description (5 minutes in length) Some questions to consider: Statement of purpose Why is the decision-maker being asked to consider a policy change at this time? Review the Current Policy What are we currently doing, why are we doing it this way, what is the publics perception of the policy? Assess how well it is or is not working. Statement on the Necessity for Change What circumstances (e.g., changes in government, leadership, stability, etc.) have changed that make a new approach advisable or necessary? You do not have to limit the policy to something that is occurring in US foreign policy. You could take the view of another state or non-state actor, or you could take a global view from an IGO like the United Nations. Please include images relating to issue. I have attached my initial topic proposal and resources. Please let me know if you have any questions. thank you!!
