Your essay should provide a broad assessment of this question before focusing on two or three specific examples (groups of actors and/or specific events or developments). Quick and important reminders: Essays should comply with the guidelines provided below, make the best possible use of all that we have read and discussed. And as you write and re-read your essays do not assume any previous knowledge on the part of your reader and always be as precise as possible about the who/what/where and WHEN. I’m going to be pretty merciless on this so give yourself a day or two to re-read and revise your essay.
