Will include instructions below and examples.
The instructions are below as well as an example of the paper that I did. Please chose another topic and discuss it with me before writing.
Also, here is the feedback on the example paper that I wrote.
“The limited feedback on the paper is largely due to the fact that each section requires a substantial rewrite, and so more detailed feedback isn’t really going to be helpful. My overall read of the paper is that you are just kind of discussing Biden’s climate policy generally, not a specific foreign policy decision. The first thing you need to do is identify a specific decision, not just a battery of policy views. Consult the syllabus for further details on layout. Introduction: Doesn’t lay out specific policy decision, nor does it follow the format outlined in the syllabus. Background: The background doesn’t tell me much about what I need to know, because a policy decision has not been laid out in the intro. Exec Branch Divisions: Again, since a clear decision has not been laid out, I have no idea how these actors are divided. It is also unclear that this is a foreign policy issue. Remember that the paper is about a foreign policy decision, not implementation. Only exec branch actors should appear in the paper. Foreign Policy Outcome: You start out this section by talking about Obama (the layout to this point strongly suggests that this paper is about Biden) and Congress. The paper is about exec branch politics and political outcomes. The reasons that appear here are largely policy reasons, and those which are not are political reasons beyond exec branch (e.g. the bit about Bernie Sanders). The public opinion reason is getting closer, but you need evidence that this is considered by Biden. To make this work, you need to identify a specific decision AND demonstrate that there were executive branch divisions.”
