Assessment task
“The power of global capitalism has reshaped our world. It has enabled unprecedented levels of wealth and prosperity in the developed world. But this has come at the expense of environmental health, as we exploit planet’s resources beyond sustainable levels, and at the expense of prosperity in the developing world.”
Choosing one of the case studies given below, explore these assertions giving particular consideration to:
How global capitalism, environmental health, resource exploitation, sustainability and prosperity are relevant to the particular case study How the assertion that prosperity comes at the cost of the environment relates to this case and why Whether alternative views of the economy and nature (explored in Module 2) are useful in examining this case study, and how What action is being taken by/on/for the actors within this case study to address the problems associated with globalisation and sustainable development (drawing on material covered in Module 3)
Explanation In this assignment you are asked to write a research essay that explores the problem of prosperity versus the environment in relation to a particular case study.
Choosing the case study: the range of case studies is intended to allow you to select a topic that interests you and have the opportunity to explore it in more depth. It is to your advantage to choose your case study early. You can discuss your choice with Sara if you would like guidance.
Doing the research: It is not expected that you will undertake primary research for this essay (i.e. interviews, surveys and the like). You should rely on secondary data sources, starting with the weekly required reading and the suggestions provided below (available via searching the library MultiSearch) and expanding from there. If you are having any difficulties finding appropriate materials you should speak about it immediately.
Writing the essay: some material on writing essays will be covered during the teaching sessions (and posted online for external students). The central consideration will be that the essay presents a reasoned argument that draws on case material to support and illustrate key points.
