Reading: Globalization A Very Short Introduction by Manfred B. Steger (2009) Chapters 1 and 2 pp 1-37 AND Economic Development the History of an Idea  (1987) by H.W. Arndt, chapter 3 pp.49-87

Each participant is required to post a minimum of THREE FULL paragraphsto their blackboard discussion group with their critique of the readings. Each paragraph should have a topic sentence, at least one sentence with evidence to support the topic, and a concluding or transition sentence. The post should be thoughtful and focus on the strengths and weaknesses of the readings (explaining why they are helpful, informative, or uninformative etc.), how each reading relates to the theoretical or other issues that have been examined in earlier readings and discussions/lectures/videos, critical questions that are raised (in terms of theory, policy, or your own experience) and other issues you feel are important. That the reading was hard is not an acceptable critique.
