Should (insert country name) abandon/adopt the Euro? Order Description Should (insert country name) abandon/adopt the Euro? The assessment should be written in report style, and make appropriate use of relevant material, data, charts and diagrams. Your policy paper will be assessed on the extent to which it: ? Provides a clear outline of the aim and focus of the policy paper; ? Provides an in-depth consideration of the relevant themes and ideas that are pertinent to the issue under consideration; ? Makes good use of relevant data, charts and diagrams to support the central narrative contained with the policy paper; ? Provides a critical and analytical discussion of the relevant issues; ? Appropriately references the arguments contained within the policy paper using a wide range of sources; ? Provides a clear, structured and coherent review and analysis of the relevant issues. How to approach the assignment: The best way to approach this assignment is to imagine that you are a policy adviser who has expertise in the area of economics and the European Union. You have been commissioned by a stakeholder organisation to write a policy paper on their behalf that explores one of the policy questions outlined above. Your policy paper will form the briefing that representatives of that organisation will use to inform their discussions the next time they are participating in a key European Union summit or meeting. A policy paper is designed to provide the policy stakeholder organisation with some advice about what view they should take on a specific policy issue. A policy paper primarily concerns the development of a policy argument which is based upon three components: ? A policy position (i.e. what you think the policy stance of the organisation should be in relation to the policy issue under consideration); ? Reasons for this position (i.e. what are the arguments for and against the organisation adopting this viewpoint?); ? Next steps (i.e. what should the organisation recommend should happen next in relation to this issue?). What should my policy paper look like? The policy paper should be written in report format, and make appropriate use of sections, headings and sub-headings to set out different components of the policy argument. Your policy paper should be addressed to your chosen policy stakeholder organisation and should start off be setting out the purpose of the policy paper e.g. This policy paper is for the attention of the Finance Minister of France, and is designed to explore whether France should support the restriction of the movement of labour within the EU. You should make appropriate use of relevant sources and data, and you should use tables, charts, diagrams when these are the most effective way of communicating this information.
