Select my paper topic!

Hey everybody, just wanted to get some input from all of you on what I should do my International Relations paper on. I already asked the professor if I could do something related to monetary policy and he approved. However, I need to substantially narrow this down to something specific involving monteary policy and international relations. I am interested in doing a paper on the link between inflation and war but I am not sure how well I’d be able to prove this through causality (despite the fact everybody here knows it’s true). Thoughts on potential topics, sources to use, etc. would be greatly appreciated! I know I can always count on the people here to do some intelligent thinking, so let the ideas flow!

In liberty,

Chris

Serbian Inflation of the early 90’s. You got war, you got embargoes, (international relations) and you got later currency stabilisation due to pegging the Dinar to Belgrade’s gold and Deutschmark reserves.

Be prepared to go through every Financial Times from 1990 to 1994. If you can, find an old pink sheet that was published then from the area called Balkan News and East European Report. I think it went bust but it had miniscule documentation of everything going on in that area in the most disturbing of times. (and its in English).

The Balkan News and East European Report was published in either Athens or Salonika.
