Scenario: You are a political analyst employed as a consultant by a congressman who is serving on a committee focused on foreign relations. In conjunction with the British vote for Brexit, your current assignment is to prepare a report that reviews the history of the European Union, its main issues since its inception, and project the ramifications for the next 5 years.

To develop your projections, review the history, identify 35 major events across time and then reduce to what you regard as the 25 most important events and actions. Prepare a report that includes your findings and your projections, based on evidence drawn from your findings. The last piece is the most important part of the assignment – it requires you to think critically, to analyze, to synthesize, and to evaluate ideas.

PLEASE MAKE SURE TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!
