The goal of the research paper is to combine analytical concepts discussed in class with empirical research and policy relevant conclusions. In their research paper, students will a) briefly describe the issue and why it is important, b) use at least one of the theoretical schools or concepts introduced during the course, and c) evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the theory or concept with regard to the chosen issue.
In their analysis, students should avoid excessive advocacy on what they think a policy
“should” be. Aspects may be raised in the conclusion, but the main focus should be on
analyzing the contributions of the school or concept.
