With the global financial crisis
affecting nearly all countries all over the world (including
Ireland), many students have decided to write research papers about
it. Most research papers outline how countries are suffering because
of the low economic situations that are happening all over.

Because there have already been plenty
of research papers about the current economic situation, coming up
with a new and interesting angle to discuss about the global
financial crisis. However, there are various angles that have not yet
been discussed too much on research papers concerning the global
financial crisis.

Additional alternative topics for
writing research papers on the Global financial crisis could include.

1. Make it more personal –
   Instead of sweeping facts that cover the country's inflation rate,
   unemployment rates, or low GDPs, the writer can make the research
   papers focus more on individuals. Perhaps an interview or interviews
   with people who have been retrenched, terminated or an indepth study
   of a company that had been shuttered because of the crisis.

2. Focus on a lesser known country
   - Most research papers have focused on bigger and better known
   countries such as the United States or the large European countries.
   A writer can try to make his research papers more interesting by
   taking on a smaller country (perhaps Ireland) and conducting an
   in-depth review on how the economic down turn has affected the
   various industies, and overall growth of the country.

3. The Government – Lost
   among the various business decisions is the fact that the countries
   need the help of governement in order to get through the crisis. The
   research paper can try to compare and contrust how the different
   countries, and government styles are impacting a country's chance of
   success after the Crisis.

4. Success stories – It had
   been said that every crisis can be viewed as an opportunity.
   Research papers can build on this and discuss how some countries,
   people, or businesses had been able to utilize the global financial
   crisis and transform it into a business opportunity. At least,
   despite the economic downturn, research papers that focus on success
   can help spin a postitive light into it.
