Assignment

What will the world economy look like in 2050?

Additional info: The country I have chosen is Switzerland

We currently live in the most prosperous, stable, secure, and technologically advanced period in human history, but these benefits are unevenly distributed, and a number of unfolding changes may be significant disruptors. The rise of protectionist sentiment in the US thanks to Donald Trump, the emergence of China as a global power, economic growth in many regions of the global South, and climate change are just some of the changes that we are seeing. These may lead to a very different global economy, made up of very different national economies, at the halfway point of the century as compared to today.

For this, each student will conduct an economic analysis of an assigned country and make an informed prediction about what its economy, and its international trade, is going to look like in the year 2050. Be sure to draw from concepts in the course, a logical prediction, and demonstrate depth of knowledge related to themes such as economic growth, international trade, and geopolitics.

. You should use relevant references to construct your informed opinion. The number of references is up to you,

The choice of country that you want to investigate is largely up to you. However, you can not choose the US, China, India, or Canada, and only one student can have a particular country. To choose your country, please submit a list of your top three choices to the discussion page "Country Selection for Assign 1" in the assignment section on moodle.
