As a business owner,
you need to approach the issue of globalization and trade in context.
With all the complicated tariff and nontariff trade policies,
organizations, and government involvement, the important question to ask
is why the United States maintains certain economic policies.
Consider the following questions:
· Research where you would find the U.S. international trade policies and their history as they apply to various industries.
o Chose two industries, and focus on those.
· Do the economic trade policies today help or hurt business owners and laborers?
o Is the automobile industry protected?
o Is it considered an infant industry?
o What tariff policy is in place for automobile manufacturers?
o What type of administered protection is in place, if any?
o Compare the automobile industry to the two industries you chose to research.
· How could the state or local representative help or hurt a business owner in the era of globalization?
· How
did the policies for manufacturers of automobiles evolve? For example,
what influences do the following organizations have on business owners,
and what is their history?
o The World Bank
o The IMF
o GATT
o The European Union
o NAFTA
o The Doha Round
· Does
NAFTA affect the automobile industry's decisions on what to do with
labor costs? Capital costs? If so, how? Was this trade agreement good
for the United States from an economic standpoint? Was it good for
Mexico from and economic standpoint?
This is how my teacher want it to be formatted

Phase 3 IP Assignment
The assignment posted on the CTUO site for the
Phase 3 IP is very broad. If you answer all of the questions in the
original assignment, the result could be a long but shallow report. I
would instead like you to study the formation and implication of the
following four most important trade agreements of recent history:
1. GATT
2. The European Union
3. NAFTA
4. The Doha Round
Research each of these organizations/agreements.
Then, write a paper describing each of these agreements in detail –
specifically, their formation, significance and impact on trade among
the partners and with regards to the rest of the world. End your
description of each by telling me (in your opinion), has the
organization/agreement resulted in trade creation or trade diversion
(and why).
This is all that you need to do for your Phase 3
IP; however, note that these organizations/agreements are significant
and it will take you some time to learn about them and good
organizations skill to summarize in a paper.

Phase 4 DB Assignment
The official Phase 4 DB assignment asks you to create an outline
for your Phase 4 IP paper. Because I am changing the Phase 4 IP
assignment, I must also make a change to the Phase 4 DB assignment. For
your Phase 4 DB assignment, please do the following:
Read and comment on the following three (3)
articles concerning immigration that are posted in the Instructor Files
section of the class homepage:
· Immigration - Myths and the Facts Behind the Fallacies
· Immigration and American Jobs
· Immigration and Its Contribution to Our Economic Strength
As I noted in the last chat, immigration is a very
interesting topic and I am pretty sure that what you have heard about
immigration in the press is only part of the complete story. My goal
with this assignment is not to sway your opinion about immigration but
instead to open your mind to different sides of the argument.
For your DB, merely share your thoughts about these articles. Some questions to focus on might be:
· How did they change or reinforce what you currently believe about immigration?
· How do these articles either support or refute what you hear and read about immigration in the press?
· What effect does immigration have on wages?
· Does immigration help or hurt a country’s output?
· What are the advantages of immigration?
· What are the disadvantages of immigration?
· What are some of the current political and economic issues regarding immigration?
· What
is the debate surrounding the Dream Act about? (To discuss this, you
need to do a little research on the topic, but if you do, I guarantee
that you will enjoy the learning).
You do not have to discuss all of these questions.
Remember, this is a learning community. I want you to share your
thoughts and ideas about these topics (after reading the articles) so
that you can spur one another on to a higher level of critical thought.
