Why is the issue/phenomenon you have chosen to research significant or worthy of study? (.5 to 1.5 pages in length)
Section 2 – Literature Review
What have authors offered as hypotheses to explain the phenomenon? (5-10 pages in length)
You should arrive at 5-6 hypotheses explicitly or implicitly developed by political philosophers and/or political scientists. These may be from books, articles or other sources.
Based on your review you may offer your own unique hypothesis, if you choose to do so.
You should group the hypotheses and make a written determination about which three of the hypotheses are the “best”, most representative, most complete or comprehensive.
Section 3 – Operationalizing Hypotheses
How would you operationalize the three hypotheses selected? (10-15 pages in length)
What would be appropriate quantifiable measures of key concepts included in the hypotheses?
What are the strengths and weaknesses of these measures and why?
How and where would you collect the appropriate data?
Section 4 – Description of Statistical Tests to be Applied
In view of your operationalizations, how should you test the validity of the hypotheses? (1-2 pages in length)
Describe the statistical tests that are appropriate to analyze your hypotheses.
Section 5 – Description of Hypothesis Confirmation Criteria
How will you recognize from the statistical results whether the hypotheses have been confirmed or refuted? (.5-2 pages in length)?
Interpret potential statistical findings in terms of the parameters discussed in class.
Discuss potential future research directions in terms of possible residuals as discussed in class.
Additional Instructions: I have not decided on a hypothesis to choose and go with. Since it is up to the writer to decide on the specific topic, I was hoping that my writer could choose the topic based on his/her speciality. The hypothesis should be regarding the effects of a country or political leader/event and the effects it has on an international scale (as related to international theory). Examples are below
Books Used in the Class: You will not need to use these books but just so you understand what the class was studying.
