this essay must be done in a Classical Realism and Constructivism approach.
i have a lot of guidelines and what not to do for essays
i will also add some resources that i would like in the essay
please red them before starting the essay
The assessment requires you to produce a 2000 word written piece, where you use two IR theories to analyse and interpret an international political process
Guidelines:
Think about the characteristics of the theories you choose, the understanding of the world they produce, and how this relates to some of the key themes associated with the international political process you have chosen
The theory as a lens metaphor might be useful here. If you look at your chosen political process, through the lenses of your chosen theories, what kinds of things do you see?
You will need a solid understanding of the chosen process you are analysing and the characteristics of the theories you are using. However, it is essential that you show you are able to use the theories to analyse and interpret the process you choose
Use the module guide reading list! You will need to use theory texts from the library and journal articles. The module guide provides a detailed list of academic sources relevant to each theory.
To research your chosen political process, you will need to learn how to search for journal articles, search the library catalogue for academic books and locate reputable online resources. This kind of independent research is an essential skill for your advanced research project in the third year
The theory review does need to be fully referenced, using the Harvard system, but the bibliography is excluded from the word count
What Not to Do!
This assessment is not aimed at testing your ability to describe the theories and processes you choose. To perform well, you will need to show that you can apply these theories in an analysis of a specific international political process
You do not need to provide an extensive description of the political process that you are examining. What you will need to do when you research this process is to draw out some of the important themes associated with this process
Similarly, you do not need to provide an extensive description of your chosen theory. You will need to demonstrate that you understand this theory by applying it competently in analysing and interpreting the process you choose to explore
