Academic essay, exclusively drawing on academic sources

Essay Title:
Since the early 1990s, national governments have increasingly utilized international events in order to pursue political objectives. Drawing on the academic literature, discuss this statement with particular reference to two specific international events of your choice (not general genres or categories).

Ps: essay title is %50 correct and %50 wrong, therefore It needs to be critically talk about the correct and the wrong side. It is not only that, after 1990 political issues started. It has started far before that date so this is wrong when we are looking at the essay question (for ex: Berlin Olympics) so it is wrong as timing, this is only one reason that is wrong but there will be more wrong points while you will look for the sources. (there should be 6-7 correct and wrong points when you focus on the question)

Before choosing 2 events please make sure that you answer the question in depth and to the point and then after using the sources and ppts it will be easier to find 2 events.
(please DO NOT copy from the slides as this work will be submit through turnitin)

Dont forget to look think from both political and people side, sometimes people also using politics also.
