Description
Two different Questions
First question
While it is extremely important to be comfortable using the library and that should be your starting point for research, there are many important resources available on the web as well. It's important that you be able to find reliable ones. For this week's forum, watch the screencast on finding information from research institutes or think tanks, then do a search for information on fragile or failed states using think tanks like Brookings Institute or Chatham House.. What do you think are most important things to know about fragile or failed states?

Second Assignment Question
In your view, why is the idea of "global justice" displacing the notion of international law? (Remembering that the term "international law" can mean both law between nation-states and law among nation-states.) Further, how have national societies lost their relevance as the "moral watershed" of justice?
Be sure to include a current event item from an internet news source to illustrate your answer.
News sources on the internet may be found in our Library (see the link on the left-side toolbar). The best database is Lexis Nexis. Do an "advanced search" to set date parameters to the past six months.
Remember to read your texts, watch the videos, and read any other materials in Week Three Lessons. Include those ideas in your discussions.
