You are the national security advisor of Malta. A Pandemic that began in Europe has quickly spread across the globe. It is starting to impact severely on states big and small. Many are greatly restricting external interactions, and some are already closing their borders. There is a shortage of some essential goods and services in those countries that are not self-reliant in staples and other products. You have been tasked to form and lead a special committee advising the top decision makers on the following. To enable you to do an in-depth analysis you only have to work on section 1 as well as either section 2 or 3 (i choose section 2 for domestic response)
- How should your small state best organize an institutional response to the Pandemic?
- Who should join your committee in terms of required skills?
- What institutions should be represented?
- In answering, draw on the actual existing offices of state and institutions in your chosen small state that might be used to address such a crisis in real life.
- How should your small state organize its domestic response to the Pandemic?
- How should you go about building up domestic economic and societal resilience?
- In terms of countering the threat domestically what actions should you recommend to decision-makers in terms of
- the limitations and constraints but also opportunities of your smallness and
- the available intrinsic, collective, derivative and non-traditional sources of power
- Of specific relevance here is the type of economic development model you have and the key sectors that drive your economy.
– i have written a draft, the paper should be (6 pages only). – add citations from the pdfs i upload.- edit my draft to critically reply to the questions above, noting that the course is (geopolitics of small states/ not health course) – while answering the questions, use and keep terminolgies i have used in my draft such as (shelter, agility, visual enlargement, innovation, visionary leadership …) – you can enhance the paper by criticizing some areas and reflecting with a strategy for example (malta heavily depend on tourism for its economy, as tourism covers x% of its GDP. thus, malta should diversify x y z… ) – I have written the strategy and everything but it needs enhancement and to be done in (6) pages, I used the resources to write it, but also i used AI to edit my language as Im not good in english. I need the paper not to be written by AI. – i will upload all the sources needed, i will also upload a draft that I gathered some information that i used in my writing (gathred information souce name -draft 1-) – refer to my draft as i belive the arguments are good and well structured, just improve (edit) dont change. (final draft word document)- make sure that the introduction shows what i will be covering in the paper (in a sentenceor two as thesis statemnt)- maybe you can enhance by adding models from other lesson learnt in other cases (I mentioned Malta Model in the conclusion, this was inspired by (tiwan model in covid)..
