– The introductory section of the paper should include an overview of the problem/issue/idea that
you are discussing and include a clear thesis statement. A thesis statement is not a statement of
the topic of the paper of a summary of the issue you are addressing. Rather, it is a statement of
the argument that you are making in the paper, of the claim you are making. The rest of the
paper should be organized around the goal of supporting this argument or claim.
– The body of the paper will be organized differently depending on your topic. Make sure the
sections and ideas flow logically from point to point, and serve to help build an argument to
support your thesis. In most cases, the use of sub-titles will help you organize your analysis and
argument, and help the reader understand where your discussion is going.
– Sources, especially peer-reviewed and scholarly sources, should be used to support your claims.
Don’t be afraid of using direct quotations – they shouldn’t be very long, but they can really help
you support the argument that you are making.
– If there is an argument out there that is different or contrasting with yours, make sure to present
it and to explain why your analysis/interpretation best fits the facts and theory.
– The paper should conclude with a clear conclusion that effectively summarizes your argument
and its importance, and a properly formatted bibliography.
– Your analysis in the paper should draw on the relevant course material – concepts, theories,
arguments, etc. The course material is meant to provide a set of frameworks helpful in thinking
about any contemporary issue related to world order and globalization
The topic of this research paper is whether globalization has made traditional theories of politics obsolete.
