Hey guys I got a assignment due in 5 weeks I have to talk about a country besides Aus and its strategies to promote EG and development in this economy.

Assess the strategies used by a nation other than Australia (China) to promote economic growth and development in this economy.

How would I structure this out?

What's the question here?

Don't expect us to do your work for you.

Develop a strong intro that obviously answers the question and that also leads you on to talk about the main points. If you mention the strategies that are used by China to promote economy and growth you can later expand upon them in the body structure of the essay.
it's important to keep linking the question, to your answer which is your intro and should be maintained throughout your entire essay, by referencing those key strategies in the intro will not only give you a clear indication of what to talk about, but also then allow you to expand on these points.

The hardest part for me is writing the intro. I can't get it all on words.

China, promote growth and dev = deregulation of financial markets

- Specialised hot zones in the 1980's
- Removal of protection
- Free trade agreements
- Lead to resources re-allocated effectively
- Improved terms of trade
- CAD surplus
- $$$$ = growth, growth = dev

In the intro you don't necessarily have to go into so much detail, just briefly reference/identify them, think of the intro as basically just identifying the key points you're going to discuss, this goes for any essay in general, by identifying those points, (most likely from the ones paddydbarry has mentioned :p) then in the body of your essay all you have to do is expand on these points, use a topic sentence which briefly indicates which part you're going to talk about.
I personally like to have my body paragraphs in the same order I list them in my intro, makes the essay more neat and less confusing for the reader.

China is gay. There will be hundreds of thousands of other students doing China. Focus on somewhere cool, like Turkey, Georgia, Ghana, Angola etc. Not only are they rockin' and deserve more limelight than they get, you won't be handing in the same boring shit as every other student and the marker will not be as familiar with the case, so will less easily pick up upon any mistakes you make.

That's a bit of a sweeping generalisation, especially in China's case. Their Gini is something like .5 and their HDI is pretty appalling, too.
Development =/= equality.

Only if you can build a comprehensive economic case study on any of those countries you mentioned. You will have to rely on secondary internet sources for statistics and history.

Nah, for most of them it's all there, you just have to look a little bit harder. The only exceptions are countries with no functional government (DRC, Somalia) or who cut themselves off from the world (North Korea).

try structuring your essay by the syllabus dotpoints by having each paragraph for example on international convergence economic growth/development/quality of life, investment, trade and transnational corporations, distribution of income, environmental sustainability, financial flows etc.

Hope it helps!
