Analyzing New Domains in US Foreign Policy (USFP)

Overview
For each paper, you will write a 3–5-page
research-based paper in current APA format that focuses on topics that are
relevant to the course content. Each essay must include 5–7 citations in
addition to the course textbook and the Bible. Each essay will be submitted
through a SafeAssign link in Blackboard.

General ·
Treat each paper as a research paper rather than
an opinion piece.
·
Papers must be 3-5 pages in length, using 1”
margins and Times New Roman 12 font
·
APA formatting must be used. Please refer to
Liberty’s APA Reference Guide
·
Five to seven scholarly sources must be used. All
sources used in the paper must be properly cited and referenced. This includes:
o
In-text citations for all
presentations of facts, statistics, information, and examples presented using
the author/date (author date, page number) format
o
A Reference List or Bibliography, on a separate
page, at the end of the paper is required
o
In addition to using assigned course content, use
external scholarly sources. Acceptable sources include peer-reviewed journal
articles and online sources with URLS that include .gov, .edu, or .org.
o
Note: the integration of biblical material is
warmly welcomed but is not to be used in place of course text material or
external scholarly source requirements.
·
When writing each paper, be sure to integrate
material (cited and referenced) from all of the readings assigned for that
module. This demonstrates that you read, understood, and are able to apply the
week’s materials. Moreover, it is a graded component for each paper.
·
Refer to the grading rubric to ensure that all
graded components are included in your paper.
·
Note: All paper assignments will be checked for
originality via the SafeAssign plagiarism tool.

Paper 3: Analyzing New Domains in US Foreign
Policy (USFP)
Select any 1 of
the textbook readings from Module 7. Complete the following instructions:
·
In a single opening paragraph, briefly summarize
the author’s argument. The short abstract provided at the beginning of each
article already does this, but do not copy and paste it, since it must flow
with the overall tenor of your own style and argument.
·
In the next section of the essay, offer a concise
defense of the argument. Why is it at least plausible? There is always something
rationally defensible about a peer-reviewed journal article on US foreign
policy.
·
For the remainder of your response, offer a
critique of the article. What are the limits, problems, or gaps in the author’s
argument? There are limits, problems, or gaps in every argument. You do not
have to have answers to the problems you identify, but you must be able to at
least develop questions about the claims made by the author.
o
You are encouraged to integrate current events
and updated information in your analysis, using properly cited and referenced
sources.
