Here is a complete listing of all FORTY potential states you can choose for your Spring 2022 paper.
Argentina, Paraguay, Suriname, Peru, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Belize, Grenada, Trinidad & Tobago, Sweden, Spain, Moldova, Poland, Bulgaria, Germany, Hungary, Denmark, Georgia, Armenia, Estonia, Kosovo, Kuwait, Jordan, Nepal, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Zimbabwe, Chad, Eritrea, Madagascar, Tunisia, Central African Republic, Uganda, Japan, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Tuvalu, Philippines.
To begin, start thinking about the contemporary issues in another single state’s foreign policy that most interest you. As examples, these could deal with global warming at the international level (e.g., towards the Paris Climate Accord), foreign policy towards one of its neighboring states, foreign policy in the war on international terrorism, international trade policies, etc. Your paper should not present a normative argument. That is, you should make an argument about how a state can best achieve its foreign policy interests. You should not evaluate the moral rightness or wrongness of that proposed policy. Your paper should not justify (in a moral sense) or condemn it. E.g., your argument shouldn’t be that “Japan should give a billion dollars to Chad” because you personally believe that is the morally correct policy to pursue. The proposed foreign policy should be about that state’s national interests, not your personal interests. Again, be sure to put yourself in the position of the state you are writing about.

— Essentially, you are making an argument for what foreign policy your chosen state should pursue in a particular place or towards a particular topic. You should identify and argue for what is in that state’s national interest. As examples, you could argue for what Japan’s foreign policy towards an international climate change treaty should be over the next decade, Philippines’ foreign policy towards China in 2022, Georgia’s foreign policy towards Russia in 2022, Nicaragua’s foreign policy towards the US, Germany’s security policy towards Russia, etc. There are thousands of possibilities.
— Be sure to focus on your chosen state’s FOREIGN policy, not its domestic policies. E.g., if you choose to write about a state’s foreign policy with regard to climate change, you could focus on its efforts to develop international treaties to address climate change. You would not simply write about its domestic policies, e.g., its internal policies to encourage the use of renewable energy in that state.
PAPER BASICS
— Your paper should be 4 to 5 pages in length. It can NOT be longer than 5 full pages and it must be at least 4 full pages long. E.g., 3.5 pages long is insufficient.
–Your paper should start with a title page. On it, you should include your first and last names, course name (PSCI 104 International Relations), section (either 10:25 am), and the title of your paper. This title page will NOT count towards your page total. Similarly, your list of references will NOT count towards your required 4 to 5 page total.
— Submit your paper in both Microsoft Word format (*.docx) and PDF format (*.pdf). Failure to submit both a working PDF and MSWord version of your paper will cost you 5 points from your paper score. Try to make your PDF file and MSWord files match perfectly. This is generally easy to do if you use MSWord to create your documents. If your documents differ in length, I’ll use your MSWord file to determine your document’s length, as it’s easier to check it to ensure your margins, font, etc. all meet the paper requirements.
— Charts, graphs, figures, pictures, etc., will not count towards your page total. Further, I strongly encourage you to not include these in your paper. If you feel that you need to include any of these, be sure to talk with me about this possibility well in advance of the paper’s due date.
— The paper should be double-spaced, use a 12-point Times New Roman font, and have one-inch margins. Do NOT manipulate any of these to adjust the length of your paper. Outside of the effect on the length of your paper, changing any of these will cost you 5 points from your paper score.
— Do not include excessive headers (e.g., do not include your name or the course at the top of every page) or extra spacing between your paragraphs to make your paper appear longer.
— Include the page # on the lower margin of your paper.
— Do not write in the first person. There are a few very limited exceptions to this, but most students struggle with first-person writing. As such, unless you talk with me in-depth about the limited use of the first-person point of view, do not write in the first person for this paper.
— Be sure to start your research early. The research paper is challenging. It’s difficult to earn a high grade on the paper. An “A” or “A-minus” grade, in particular, is difficult to earn. If you hope to secure a high grade, start your research early.
— Write formally. Your intended audience is the foreign policy community (i.e., the key foreign policy decision-makers) of your chosen state.
— — The late penalty for the paper is one full letter grade (e.g., going from an A minus to a B plus) for each day or partial day the paper is late.
Academic Quality Sources
— You need at least seven academic-quality sources. The minimum number is seven sources. Including and fully incorporating additional quality sources can help improve your grade. Generally, going beyond the minimal paper requirements will help improve your grade.
— Do not rely on just the readings from the course, but you MUST include (at least) two of the assigned course readings. The better you incorporate the course readings the better will be your grade. At least one of your sources must be a chapter from the Pevehouse text (it can be any of the chapters, including those not covered directly in the course) and at least one needs to be one of the assigned readings from Betts’s Conflict After the Cold War. (These readings are posted as separate PDF files on Moodle.) E.g., the short reading on “Monkey Cops” is not sufficient to count as one of the required course readings nor will either documentary count as one of your required course readings. You can include more than two of the course readings as described, but only two will count towards your seven required academic sources. Generally, it is easiest to connect the realist and liberal IR theory readings (e.g., Hobbes, Kant, Keohane & Nye, Machiavelli, Thucydides ) to your paper. For some topics, readings such as Huntington or Lawrence will also work well.
— TWO of these seven can be academic quality news sources, e.g., The New York Times or The Washington Post or The Financial Times or The Wall Street Journal. You do not, however, need to use contemporary news sources. You can reach the seven minimum just by using peer-reviewed sources and the sources (from Pevehouse & Betts) from the class. Any news sources used should only be the highest quality news sources. If you are uncertain if yours will count as the highest quality, ask me well (a week or more) in advance of the due date. You can also use MORE than two of these sources, but only 2 will count towards your 7.
–At least THREE of the sources need to be peer-reviewed articles or books from academic publishers. These can be found through the Drew University Library. If you need assistance, please meet with one of the library’s research librarians. Further, Drew’s librarians are a great resource for starting your research and I strongly encourage you to meet with one to help you locate suitable sources. Again, you may use more than 3 of these sources.
— Wikipedia and the like are NOT appropriate sources. Further, do not cite YouTube or lectures (from my class or others). Do not use Google to find your sources.
— Do not use sources such as the History Channel or any general use encyclopedia. E.g., do not use encyclopedia.com. This is an academic paper, you should use academic quality sources.
— Unless you receive written permission from me in advance, all your sources must be from English language sources.
— Interlibrary loan is not an instantaneous service, especially if a physical copy of the book or journal needs to be delivered. As such, if you need an article or book from interlibrary loan, request it as soon as possible. *** This is particularly true because of the potential processing delays associated with the pandemic. Again, be sure to make your interlibrary loan requests as soon as possible. ***
— [Important Point] Again, be certain to closely connect your foreign policy argument to the primary course readings, the main Pevehouse text, and at least one of the assigned readings from Betts. The better you incorporate these assigned readings into your argument the better will be your grade. The less important these readings are to your argument the worse will be your grade.
— Your citation format can be MLA or APA. No other citation formats will be accepted. On your cover page, indicate which style you will be using. E.g., include it after your name — “John Doe (MLA Citation Style)”. Your citations must be parenthetical. Do not use footnote or endnote citations. Failure to follow these citation guidelines will lower your paper grade.
— When appropriate, use timely citations to support your argument. E.g., if you are writing about current events and policies for a proposed German foreign policy, you should use recent sources. A source from 1995 about the state of Germany’s military is likely to be much less relevant than a source from 2020.
— Your citations (i.e., your references or your works cited or your bibliography) should be included as part of your paper. It should be found at the end of your paper. Do not submit a separate document that only includes your sources.
ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES
— Your paper will generally be better with a more narrow and novel focus. Broad and unoriginal papers will generally receive lower grades. Moreover, if you briefly cover many proposed foreign policies instead of focusing on just one, your grade will likely be lower. To sum, focus on making an in-depth specific argument of your own making.
— Demonstrate what you have learned from the primary course materials, i.e., the Pevehouse textbook and the readings from Betts (posted on Moodle). Incorporating these into your argument is key to doing well on the assignment.
