����������� The first
thing you need to do is find a partner.�
Then, select a low-income country and produce a report summarising key
problems and suggesting and prioritising possible policies that might stimulate
development. Your grade will be based upon the overall quality of the group
project (written and oral components), but will also reflect your partner�s
assessment of the quality of your individual contribution.
����������� When
you have formed your research team, the first key decision is to choose your
country.� In making this choice, it is,
of course, crucial that there is sufficient information available about your
country to enable your group to compile a good report.� There are some countries in the world for
which data are scarce and information hard to find - North Korea and
Afghanistan are two such examples.
