Analysis Paper
Analysis Paper
Description
All students are required to write one short analysis paper of a min" rel="nofollow">inimum of 1,200 words (maximum 1,500 words). The paper is worth 15% of the fin" rel="nofollow">inal grade.
This paper is not meant to be a mere summary of the readin" rel="nofollow">ings, but rather should critically analyze and synthesize the week’s readin" rel="nofollow">ings, and should in" rel="nofollow">integrate the week’s readin" rel="nofollow">ings within" rel="nofollow">in the broader sociopolitical and historical context. The paper should discuss ALL the assigned readin" rel="nofollow">ings for the week the paper is due.
The paper is to be submitted on Canvas. Timestamps submissions will mark any paper received after the due date as late. A late paper will receive a grade penalty (generally a 10% penalty per late day).
The paper should pay particular attention to:
The authors’ central arguments—what are the questions, outcomes or puzzles the authors are directly or in" rel="nofollow">indirectly addressin" rel="nofollow">ing?
What empirical evidence do the authors provide to support their arguments?
How do the articles/books relate to the literature on in" rel="nofollow">international justice more broadly?
What are the key contributions of the work under review?
What are some of the potential shortcomin" rel="nofollow">ings of the authors’ arguments?
Papers are to be submitted as .pdf files and saved in" rel="nofollow">in the followin" rel="nofollow">ing format: 1. First name, underscore, last name, underscore, analysis, underscore, paper. For example: Arnaud_Kurze_Analysis_Paper
Papers should have a title, student name and course as well as sub headers, (refer to APA style guidelin" rel="nofollow">ine at https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/ (Lin" rel="nofollow">inks to an external site.)).
