Address US foreign policy toward one country. Only the topics listed below may be selected. Pick one and begin your research immediately:
• US foreign • US foreign • US foreign • US foreign • US foreign • US foreign • US foreign • US foreign
policy regarding Nigeria’s conflict with Boko Haram policy regarding Brexit and the future of the EU policy regarding economic and political development in Afghanistan policy regarding Saudi Arabia’s human rights record policy regarding political development in Honduras and/or El Salvador policy regarding the World Trade Organization (WTO) policy regarding Russian attempts to manipulate US elections policy regarding economic and political development in Venezuela
Step 2 – Gathering Sources
Conduct research to locate five peer-reviewed, academic journal articles (aka: scholarly sources) that specifically address issues within the foreign policy relationship you selected and meet the following criteria: • The articles must be no more than ten (10) years old. • The article must have more than five (5) pages of actual content (without graphs, charts, footnotes, citations, etc.). • Books will not count toward the scholarly source minimum requirements. • Carefully choose sources that provide a variety of perspectives on your selected topic. • In addition to the minimum research requirements, you should use high quality sources for essential current events information relevant to your topic. These may include academic sources that are not peer-reviewed (position papers), newspaper articles, magazine articles, and other quality or reputable sources. • The course textbook, encyclopedias (including Wikipedia), and almanacs, are reference materials and are not to be listed as sources on the collegiate level.
Step 3 — The Proposal
Submit a one to two page proposal to the appropriate dropbox by the date specified in the course calendar. The proposal should: • Identify the topic in one or two paragraphs:
Summarize the foreign policy topic you will be addressing Describe the current status of the policy or topic Describe why this policy is important to the United States Cite each of your academic journal articles (not supplemental sources) at least once in the paragraph using correct MLA in-text citations. • Include the Works Cited or Reference section with the three (at a minimum) peer-reviewed academic journal articles that will form the basis of your policy paper. • These five references must be cited in the final policy paper. NOTE: I will submit a new writing job for final policy paper after this proposal is completed • The Works Cited or Reference section must be formatted using MLA citation style. • Do not use block quotations (or any quotation that exceeds three lines of text) or first person in the proposal or final policy paper!
A fundamental expectation of college writing is that all key arguments, facts, assertions and claims are supported with research (i.e. parenthetical citations). When a source has been cited, you are expected to acknowledge the source in the body of your text and on a Works Cited page using formal MLA citation format. The paper must be completed using the formatting guidelines provided in the syllabus as “Guidelines for all Coursework.”
