The main goal of this exercise is to help make sense of the underlying issues and political calculations at stake here. Building upon your answers to exercises from previous weeks, you will be asked to make two different assessments, which can be summarised as follows:
- Efficacy: How effective is a given solution likely to be?
- Difficulty: How much political opposition is a given solution likely to generate?
Efficacy:
How effective is a given solution likely to be?
- Likely to hurt, rather than help. (Red)
- Likely to make no real difference either way. (Light Blue)
- Likely have a minor positive effect on forced and precarious labour. (Yellow)
- Likely to have moderate positive effects on forced and precarious labour. (Light Green)
- Likely to have a major positive effect on forced and precarious labour. (Darker Green)
- Not really sure about overall effects. (White)
Political difficulty:
How much political opposition is a given solution likely to generate?
