U3L2 Foreign Policy and Internationalism

Assignment 2020

For this assignment you will need to "present" an answer to one of the options provided:

A) Choose a war since World War 2 that did not involve the UN (in any capacity, including peacekeepers)

B) Choose a peacekeeping operation since World War 2

For each option you'll need to discuss the following:

• A quick overview of the "who, why and where" of the war
• What was the international reaction to the war
• What was the outcome of the war (if you choose an ongoing one, just give the latest update)
• Your opinion, should the UN have been involved/stayed out?
• Option A) how could the United Nations involved itself in a way that would have helped more people? Remember, you can't just throw peacekeepers in a country from some unknown United Nations camp. They come from countries around the world, so other countries would have to agree to send their troops.
• Option B) Was the UN effective? Would more or less have been accomplished had they stayed out? Did they create a situation where bad things just happened later? Was it a waste of resources to send peacekeepers? Should countries have intervened with military force instead?

So when the assignment says "present" the method is entirely up to you. I imagine most people will choose to do a slide deck (PowerPoint, Sheets, etc.) but you can do whatever you'd like to do as long as you convey the information in your own words or images or you can record yourself talking about it, totally up to you. If you use an outside service (ie: Prezi) just submit a document with the link provided or share it with my email directly.
