You will work alone or with one classmate. • You will need to incorporate the OPTIC technique below as well as your Deconstruction, Reconstruction, Reflection and Collaborative skills. • You will include two maps: one at the world scale/ and one at the regional scale of your conflict(s). • To demonstrate research on your “hotspot” you will attach 5 comprehensive articles on the one crisis you analyzed using the OPTIC technique. These articles should be articles that you found particularly helpful.
