Research Topic Submission
Start Assignment
· Submitting a text entry box, a website url, or a file upload
Submit your research paper topic by the end of week 3, along with three academic sources you plan to use. Coordinate the topic with your instructor, and submit the topic here. Ensure that the topic has relevance for the course concepts.
Once you get clearance from the instructor you can go to work on your research paper.
Instructions: Students should begin thinking about possible research topics as soon as they begin the course. Topics can take the form of in-depth exploration of a neglected or not commonly understood topic (for example, hypersonic missiles); investigation of an hypothesis or theory; a policy proposal with supportive arguments; investigation of a key actor or group and its role in international or national affairs (e.g., a terrorist organization, the military, a non-governmental organization (NGO) devoted to diplomacy, arms reduction, etc.); or consideration of the history and impact of security cooperation in a given country or region. Students should seek to find relevant resources early on, including books (perhaps 1-3), articles (10 or more), graphical or other media material (maps, charts, tables, etc.), websites, blogs, and so on.
