The Great Depression of 1929-1940 had a significant and lasting impact on international relations throughout the rest of the 20th century. Although the Great Recession of 2007-2009 was not as severe, some people believe that it too has had a significant and lasting impact on international relations during the 21st century. Describe the Great Recession of 2007-2009 and indicate whether you believe it has had a lasting impact on international politics or was essentially a temporary phenomenon with little or no lasting effects. Consider at least three potential effects of the Great Recession on policy, politics, and decision-making in your discussion of this question.
