Sources for Essay #2

Hi All--

Just to reiterate: in addition to drawing on material assigned for class reading, you need to cite five additional sources. These sources can be:

- Magazines
- Journals
- Newspapers
- Books
- Transcribed speeches

Please do not cite summarized material from websites like Wikipedia.

We will be posting useful supplementary material for you here:

1. https://stellar.mit.edu/S/course/11/fa07/11.002/materials.html#topic10
(for globalization-- a number of articles have been posted)

2. https://stellar.mit.edu/S/course/11/fa07/11.002/materials.html#topic13
(for national security-- articles to be posted shortly)

***You do not need to use anything beyond these supplementary articles to fulfill your outside sources requirment***

If you do choose to do extra research, you may want to start by using MIT's extensive access to online journals, magazines, and newspapers. (Again, this is not required and we would prefer that you spend your time developing a cogent argument rather than hunting for articles.)

You probably need not go any farther than LexisNexis (search in specific outlets for relevant articles):

For more academic articles, you may check out the Web of Science:

If you have any questions, feel free to contact one of the TAs.

Best.
