For my American Foreign Policy class taught by Professor Shawn Ramirez, I decided to write my final paper on BRIC Economies and how they relate to American Foreign Policy.
Often, political and economic factors are analyzed comparatively, but not analyzed jointly. In this paper, I examine the historic origins of BRIC and how certain economic factors (trade, debt etc) could affect political and military stance (e.g. military tilt).
You can find a copy of the paper here: BRIC Economies & Foreign Policy: An Analytical Study.
