Unequal power in the global arena—especially when it comes to influence in political/economic institutions, development plans, capital availability, and overall political and economic strength—can create some interesting and contentious dynamics. The most visible reactions to power inequality in the IPE are not generally manifested by states’ behavior, however, but through the actions of individuals or groups within societies.
For this assignment, do some research on the internet and select an event where public outcry led to some sort of protest against a policy related to structural adjustment in the developing world. Then write a short essay that 1) identifies/describes the structural adjustment policy, 2) explains why this was controversial or rejected by that nation’s society, 3) gives the broad overview of the protest/event, and 4) explain any outcomes that seemingly resulted from public concerns over this policy. Then, at the end of your essay, write a brief paragraph analyzing the event from your own perspective of the IPE—what did you think of this protest and why do you think that it is good/bad/worthwhile/pointless/interesting(etc…in other words, explain your reaction to this event).
