Part I of the research paper is due on October 20 and should be approximately 1,500 words in length. It focuses on the theory students think best explains development. Students must detail the content and history of the chosen theory and argue why the theory is analytically superior.
Students must answer five questions in Part I:
What does the theory study and how does the theory study it?
Under what global conditions was the theory produced?
Under what conditions does the theory have the most explanatory usefulness?
Why is the theory most appropriate to understanding contemporary development issues?
How do other theories challenge this worldview?
