This is very last minute, but I have decided to change my senior project topic. I have worked quite a lot collecting information about Obamas foreign policies but I could not quite find a proper structure to it. Additionally it became too wide and I realised I do not have the time or capacity to cover such a complicated topic.
I therefore decided to choose one aspects of the American foreign policies, namely the relationship between the USA and China. This is an important issue of the years to come. These are some of the questions I will cover:
- Why is the relationship between USA and China so important today?
- How has the relationship between the nations developed historically?
- How is it today? (Chinas economy is decreasing rapidly. USA has a massive debt to China.)
- What are the prospects of the USA/China relationship? (Climate, defense, weapons, economics, international power and recognition, form of government etc.)
I have the whole weekend to work on this project, so I think I'll be fine starting from scratch such a short time before deadline :)
Congratulations on a new and improved theme! You might want to skip/reduce the historical part, or it might get too long. It also appears that the relationship between the US and China is/was affected by their relationship to Taiwan, you might want to look into that.
SvarSlettIt seems that you could further specialize the project, focussing on either economy, military policies, environment-things or international relations - they're all good themes (although some painfully connected and inseparable). This makes it easier and less messy, but research might be a bit more difficult. It sounds like you're most interested in the economy part, and that is what's been in the media lately.
Good luck, you'll probably do great.
Thanks a lot for good tips! Yes, I agree with you on not letting the historical part take up too much space. I have found a few points on Taiwan, Obama visiting Dalai Lama, Chinese government hacking into Google and a few other things. I hope it will turn out to be a good essay when I finish :) thanks for good help!
