Global Issues 1 INSTRUCTIONS: 1) For the most part I want you to use the material we read (or watched) and discussed during the course. 2) While you don’t need to do research to find material to support your answers, you do need to look up information to better educate yourself about what’s in the articles. For example, Article 1 is about the Rohingya in Myanmar. You need to look up what the crisis is about so that you understand it. You can start with Wikipedia. Also, the article mentions the Genocide Convention. Because you don’t know what that is, you need to look it up. It mentions an article published by the leader of Myanmar, Aung San Suu Kyi (Suu Kyi). You should read it. 3) DO NOT QUOTE from this article or any other. I want you to use your own words. When you provide information from material, just tell me where you got it from; for example, if you tell me what Suu Kyi said about the Rohingya, simply tell me the article you got it from. BUT USE YOUR OWN WORDS—paraphrase. Global Issues 2 Article 1: U.N. Court’s Order on Rohyingya Preliminary questions; 1. Why are the Buddhists from Myanmar killing the Muslim minority (Rohingya)? 2. What is the Genocide Convention and why is what Myanmar and its military doing to the Rohingya considered genocide? 3. What does the Myanmar government say about the genocide it is being accused of? 4. What did the U.N. court order Myanmar to do? 5. What would Eric Posner say about the human rights atrocities in Myanmar and what would he recommend be done? 6. Gerald Nye talks about (his article on the Liberal Order) the use of soft power. Give specific examples of how the U.S. can use soft power to help the Rohingya? Essay questions: The genocide in Myanmar is a good example of NGOs, international organizations (U.N.), and governments (Gambia) attempting to resolve an international crisis: 1. A) Describe the roles of the various groups and nation-states and how they are involved in trying to address the problem. This will include the groups that are providing humanitarian aid to the Rohingya, setting them up in settlement camps, reporting on the atrocities and publicizing it, bringing the court action. B) What role could the Security Council play if Myanmar doesn’t comply with the court’s order? 2. Why is enforcement of international treaties and orders from international courts so difficult? Discuss what happened in the Rwandan genocide Explain what the world’s (the U.N., governments, NGOs) response was to that situation and whether it helped? Global Issues 3 Article 2. “A World of Hardening Borders” Preliminary questions: 1. How has the pandemic and states’ response to it brought a resurgence of nationalism and a reappearance of old borders? Explain and provide examples. 2. Trofimov states: “Meanwhile, international institutions, the supposed repositories of moral authority in the world of yesterday, have either discredited themselves or have proved mostly irrelevant.” Explain what he means with respect to the World Health Organization. 3. The article quotes Ivo Daalder, the president of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. “We are still living in a globalized world, and so once you get to that realization, the need for finding effective ways of cooperation will increase. . .” Explain what he means. How does living in a more globalized world help to deal with the virus; in what ways does it hurt? 4. The author discusses various way that the world must cooperate to cope with this pandemic. What are they and do you think they will work? Global Issues 4 Essay questions: 1. Trofimov states: “An anguished world now stands at a crossroads as it grapples with how to tackle the pandemic and its economic fallout. Will it follow the same route of national grievances and protectionism that country after country embraced in the aftermath of World War I? Or will the pandemic end up spurring a renewed quest for cooperation and shared solutions, as happened after the Allied victory of 1945? Both impulses are playing out, and the eventual balance will determine what kind of global order emerges after the virus.” A) What does he mean by national grievances and protectionism and how does that apply to the current pandemic? B) What kind of shared solutions emerged after the Allied victory of 1945 that set the world on a course of cooperation? C) Explain how the current policies of the U.S. in response to the pandemic are examples of both nationalistic tendencies and global cooperation? 2. Throughout the course we have discussed the movement towards a globalized and integrated world and the pushback against it. This was clearly explained by Barber in his article, “Jihad v. McWorld.” Discuss how the world has moved towards integration following WW2 and how various states like Russia, China and Turkey, and the U.S. under Trump, have pushed back against globalization. Discuss the following issues: a) nationalism v. globalized world and institutions; b) trade barriers (protectionism) vs. free and fair trade; c) border walls and curbing immigration vs. Schengen agreement;

Part I: The Myanmar Genocide

Roles of Various Groups and the Nation-States
Some of the groups that participated in the Myanmar genocide included the United
Nations, through its judicial organ, the international court of justice, rights lawyers, and the
attorney for the African nation of Gambia and the Security Council. The United Nations perform
the intervention role physically by warring countries to facilitate aid provisions to help in
