Instruction
The assignment is to create a presentation on the Sinaloa cartel in Mexico, regarding its ties or differences to the cartels of Colombia, and overall mainly the impact the cartel has had on surrounding regions. It is important to delve into the questions and issues that have arisen due to this group from an international relations perspective and how it relates to international law as well. It is important to attach readings about these topics (scholarly articles) to go along with the presentation for peer review. The presentation must include a write up (either in the form of detailed presentation cards or a small paper that can supplement power point slides for the presentation as well. Each presentation should inform on the topic and enhance but not be a summary of the readings. Following the presentation, there should be questions provided to spark discussion and play an active role in keeping conversation going. Strong presentations demonstrate understanding of the issue but thorough expertise is not expected. Powerpoint slides should accompany the presentation and enhance it, not distract from it. There must be enough information for an 8 to ten minute presentation. The content must provide adequate and pertinent information to understand the issue in an effectively organized way, and conceptualize the issue in terms of relevant questions and significance.
