Overcoming the Global Food, Fuel, and Water Crisis

As your country’s leader, you are tasked with composing a policy paper, a country position briefing, that focuses on your country (that you choose and determined during class discussion) and reflects the point of view of your country. This paper will incorporate findings on your country’s background in which you include key demographics and trends on education, family, religion, deviance and social control norms (statistics related to justice), as well as development (human development, poverty and inequality). Then, you will provide your country’s perspective on the global challenge you selected that is based on the following theme: Overcoming the Global Food, Fuel and Water Crisis. The policy paper should involve the background of the issue, an analysis, and specific recommendations for action. In addition to providing your country’s recommendations for actions, you should highlight at least one way in which your country’s government, a governmental or non-governmental organization, or group of citizens has taken steps to overcome the issue. Incorporate the structural functionalist theory into your paper (you may seek to additionally mention critical/conflict theory or symbolic interactionism, if applicable). Sources for this analysis (10 total) should include the UN readings and website (UNDP and UN SDG sites), current articles gathered from newspaper and at least three (3) scholarly journal sources. In your research, pay particular attention to ways the country (government, organization or citizen group) has overcome the issue. Please refer to APA style for proper citation, footnotes and bibliography format (see Lynn Library).
