See attachment for requirement. The following are some additional requirement.

Your Part I Review Paper grades have been posted.  It is very important that you follow instructions for all your assignments.  Some of you did not cite readings from the curriculum, as instructed, in your Part 1 Review Paper.  In lieu of the curriculum readings, some of you extensively cited outside sources.  Your knowledge of the development literature outside of the readings in the syllabus is NOT a judgement criterion when I grade your paper.  I have instructed the class to base their assignments on curriculum texts in order to enforce reading and to better ensure that students write their own essays and papers instead of procuring them.  

To be clear, you should address ALL the three points below in your Part 2 Review paper. If you do not do so, you will risk getting an F for the Part 2 Review Paper for not following instructions.  In short, follow the instructions.

1) How have IFIs policies and neoliberal economic coordination negatively impacted poor and working-class women in the Global South?  April Ane Knutson’s “Haitian Women in the New World Order”’ and Hester Eisenstein’s “In the Global South ‘Women’ Replace Development” touch on this matter.  

2) How have liberal programs of amelioration failed and/or succeeded in addressing poverty and destitution in the Global South?  James Petras’ “NGOs: In the Service of Imperialism”, Mike Davis’ “Illusions of Self-Help”, Hester Eisenstein’s “In the Global South ‘Women’ Replace Development”, and Ananya Roy’s “Small Worlds: The Democratization of Capital and Development” touch on this matter.

3) Argue if you agree or disagree whether the Washington Consensus and IFIs are primarily responsible for poverty in the Global South and if the amelioration measures mentioned in the readings of part 2 are adequate.  You are welcome to use outside sources.  The use of outside sources is optional.

The use of outside sources is appropriate for the third point because if you critique the curriculum readings, it would be useful to marshal in other texts to corroborate your position.  To be clear, outside sources are NOT substitutes for texts in the curriculum.  Again, if you do not base your Part 2 Review Paper on texts in the curriculum, you risk getting an F for the assignment and since this assignment is 40% of your grade, you will naturally risk failing the course.

This assignment is designed to sensitize you to attitudes, myths and possible solutions with regards to beliefs of social service programs and/or social justice issues. Each of you individually will conduct 5 (or more) interviews. The interviews can be with random people on campus, family members, or friends. As in our last assignment you can pick a topic of interest to you. You may also consider a topic we have already covered in class, a topic from our text book, or a topic covered in the assigned reading. Ask the following questions:

1. What do you know about “population of choice” (homeless individuals)
2. What help do you think population of choice (homeless individuals) receives in our community?
3. How do you feel about the level of help they receive from the community, the state, the government?
4. How would you improve or change the systems which provide services for population of choice?

It is important not to engage in a debate! Just listen and thank the individual for participating.

The next part of the assignment is to summarize all of the interviews, what did you discover, were there common themes? Did common myths about the population get portrayed in the interview?  Pick out any myths regarding the population or services available for the population, and counter the myths with information you have learned in this class and in your own research.

Did the interview portray strengths of the population of choice? Did the interview portray that the community, state and government was providing adequate services or not enough services or too much services?

What were some of the suggestion to improve the system?

Your paper should be 5-7 pages, and have at least 4 references cited using APA format.
