You are free to use whatever outside sources are available to answer the short-paper questions. Note, there are good and bad sources of information on the internet. Some of the best sources for current international reporting are the major newspapers: the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, the Financial Times, and the Guardian. In addition, the Economist has excellent coverage on a wide range of countries and international events. For more in-d epth analyses see Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, the New Yorker, and the Atlantic.
