1. OUTLINE. Please follow the broad structure below (unless you and your
editor have agreed to a variation). Opening paragraph: Tell readers what
your topic is and why it is important in relation to globalization.
2. Body of entry: Develop the introduction, describing and explaining your
topic in an elaborated, organized account. Exactly how you do this depends
on the topic and your conceptualization of it. Some possibilities includemoving from historical background to current foreground, or from
generalization to examples, or from whole to parts. Again, please keep issues
of globalization in the forefront of discussion at all times.
3. Final paragraph: End the entry purposefully, bringing it to a point. Here
again, particular tactics will vary from article to article. You reiterate and
expand upon the importance of your topic in respect of globalization. You
might sketch out future scenarios or issues likely to arise from current trends

follow coherently from information and analyses presented earlier in the
body of the article.
