Be certain to utilize at least ten (10) sources other than required class readings from categories (a) primary source materials or government or other documents, as for instance, NGOs or IGOs; (b) scholarly books; (c) scholarly journals. The answer should be a minimum of twelve (12) pages of text. Be certain to clearly indicate on a cover page the specific question being answered.

*Discussion of a theme is vital, and it is most important that students remember that the paper must not be a mere compilation of facts. There must be a clear thesis. It must also be remembered that the paper should not be merely historical in nature but should have relevance to current and future time periods. Narrow topics fully discussed almost invariably are to be preferred to broad topics merely summarized.
* Materials may be researched via the internet. When these materials are listed in the works cited page, they must include author, title, source of original publication, and any other information establishing whether or not they are scholarly sources, government documents, or the like. The internet address must be shown at the end of the works cited listing. The access date should also be indicated. Each paper must end with a Works Cited page. This refers to works which are actually cited (by parenthetical citation) in the body of the work. No other sources (bibliographic or reference entries) should be included on this page. Papers with footnote or endnote citations will receive a one grade reduction. The Works Cited page must be annotated. For these assignments, this means underneath each listing, the author must be identified as to professional background and the publisher must be identified to indicate whether it is a government or IGO source, an academic source, or whatever. This is extremely important and will significantly impact the grade for the examination or paper. Carefully identify the publisher!
*Format: the format of this paper is to be based upon the American Political Science Association style manual. This manual is the one utilized by the political science profession’s journal for the submission of articles. Use those portions of the manual appropriate for research papers. Refer to one of the other style manuals noted in that A.P.S.A. manual for additional information. All papers must have both left and right margins justified!
