Topics for the report (and publication) MUST be cleared with the instructor (just briefly tell me after class what you plan to work on) and must contain information from countries OTHER than the U.S.  Reports are expected to be 7-10 pages long (not including references and a cover sheet with your name and title of your report) and should be based on at least 8 different sources (research articles, research reports, websites, news articles, websites etc.).
