[SamTheMacMan]

Hey Guys,
Just wondering if anyone could reccomend or point me in the right direction to some resources concerning contempoary trading blocs and/or international orginisations.

We have to research one in depth for an assesment. (40 mins/Essay)

For those intersted the question reads:
Chose ONE contempoary trading bloc OR ONE international orginisation and discuss its role, function and importance in the global economy

Thanks In Advance,
Sam.

Hey Guys,
Just an update...
After a bit of research and consideration i have narrowed it down to either....
•APEC OR
•The IMF

So if anyone has any ideas on some good resources for either of these & would be willing & able to share i would be greatly appreciate.

Thanks Again,
Sam.

I'd use the internet resources like Wikipedia, Encarta, Answers.
Also, there are a few good books such as Leading Edge.

I also have a few economic journal articles on both if you are interested. If you want a copy of these PM me your email address and I will email them to you.

Oh, what's wrong with pinning them here?

I would probably choose the IMF and talk about when it was first formed and what its role was then and then talk about how this role may have changed in some ways etc

You could also mention its contributions in the global economy such as during the Asian Financial Crisis in countries such as Indonesia. However there are some conditions that countries must implement into their economies before they may recieve assistance, these are known as "structural adjustment policies"

Well hope your assessment goes alright, goodluck
