two short article reviews

As you read the weekly Economist articles related to international topics and issues, you are responsible for filling in the information as outlined in the excel template that I have designed for this purpose (as explained in class). Read as many articles per issue as you want. Read about any topic that you like. I expect you to read about a wide variety of countries and a wide variety of topics. For example, don’t read ONLY business-related articles, ONLY political ones, or ONLY about one specific country. Cast a wide net. Just bear in mind that this is an international business class and I am interested in your learning about topics that shed light on the institutional environments worldwide. Do not write about articles that deal predominantly with a U.S. focus (e.g., U.S. politics). Be sure that there is a dominant international side to your entries. Do not write “the U.S.” in the Focal Country Column. At the same time, do not write “international,” or “multinational” as vague categories. You need to write the specific name of one country, or 2, or 3 (etc.) that the article directly deals with.
