Memo to Foreign Affairs:Students will be required to   write a letter from a non American perspective, you may write as an   Ambassador or Assistant Minister to the Minister of Foreign Affairs.  The  memo should identify a diplomatic problem and propose a strategy  for  dealing with it (China).

The letter must: • Describe the problem and its relevance to the   home country’s interests; • Propose a diplomatic strategy for  resolution  or management; • Identify assets, constraints and potential  trade-offs.  Choose an issue that allows you to be specific.
