This paper is designed for you to use your critical thinking skills evaluating a potential future international relations environment, discuss/describe how national interests can be threatened or challenged, and determine how states can utilize instruments of national power to respond to these threats and challenges in this plausible future scenario. Utilize Alternative World 3: Gini out of the bottle (Page 122) and analyze/evaluate this scenario in your paper.
Identify and discuss three critical national interests illuminated in the 2010 NSS that would be threatened or challenged in Alternative World 3: Gini out of the bottle (Page 122). Next, explain what tools (i.e., political, social/cultural, geographic/economic) and military elements of power, international organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGO), or others, you would use to respond to the potential future threats or challenges.
Finally, prioritize the threats and challenges and recommend which threat or challenge should be addressed first, second, and, if needed, third. Provide the rationale behind your recommended priorities.
Your paper should be organized into five sections:
a. Introduction and Thesis.
b. Three threats or challenges to United States’ interests.
c. The United States’ responses to identified threats or challenges.
d. Recommended priorities.
e. Conclusion.
