Prompt:
Imagine a scenario where Earth has been attacked by an alien civilization. The first attack results in the destruction of an entire US city, shocking the American public and drawing the entire world into a war, with the United States leading the fight to protect our planet.
In this scenario, consider the various roles of the American President. Explain how the President might respond in each of these roles. What powers or resources would they possess? What constitutional limits or constraints would they face?
Remember to Include:
☐ A focus on several of the roles we explored in lecture
(Head of State, Chief Executive, Commander in Chief, Chief Diplomat, Party Chief, or Chief Legislator)
☐ At least one quote from our textbook.
☐ Real examples from US history or modern politics.
☐ A well-formatted Works Cited page.

You may draw upon materials covered in class, including the course textbook, as well as outside articles and resources that you find. Please be sure to quote and cite properly.

Presentation guidelines and mandatory reading source will be in the file attached. The presentation is about Primordialism and modernism and can it go beyond that. The key points that need to be mentioned in the presentation and be leveraged are that neither of those are good choices and neither offers a lesser evil as they’re both equally evil. Primordialism is too deterministic and absolute in the sense that it doesn’t account for change or evolution, and Modernism as we know it is far too eurocentric and capitalist for me to be able to agree with. Modernism fails because it reporduces capitalism. I think we should let go of our history and culture and traditions; Islam is a part of the Maldives’ history, culture, and traditions; a large part in fact. And what you call culture in the Maldives are largely based off of superstition in the past – it is mixed with Islam, and now it has reproduced itself into a culture of patriarchy, closeted misogyny, violent repression, and homogeneity. And then comes in modernism, with capitalist modernisation, those things have in fact evolved into modernist frameworks. Now we have ancient rites and rituals except “modernised” and mass reproduced as an instrument of the political and economic machine in capitalism. Cultures change and evolve – Impermanence paired with equitable, compassionate social evolution at a collective level is best. The issue is that when you ask which one is better – primordialism or modernism the question in and of itself is that it creates a dichotomy, and dichotomies are never helpful. Look beyond the question and the choices you’re given. Please do not use sources from books, just articles from google scholar apart from the source mentioned in the mandatory reading in the presentation guidelines file.

What is the paper about? What topic is the author studying? What was the primary finding?
The abstract is a single paragraph that provides a summary of the entire article, including your findings.
3. INTRODUCTION
400–500 words
Starts at top of Page 2
No heading needed for this section
What is the article about? What does the author plan to do in the paper? Why should we care about this problem/study? What is the author trying to test or show?
This section introduces the topic and theory of the paper and discusses what the paper contributes to existing knowledge on the topic. The introduction should be compelling, with the goal of enticing readers to continue reading.
5. DATA & METHODS
600–800 words
What data did the author use and how does the author plan to analyze them? What were the units of analysis? What is the sample? Is the sample a good representation of the entire population? If not, how are they different?

This includes operationalization and measurement of variables, data sources, information about the participants or units of analysis, the procedures, and what the author expects to find if their research hypothesis is correct or not.
6. RESULTS & ANALYSIS
400–500 words + tables/graphs
minimum results to include: any relevant descriptive statistics for your IV, DV, and all control variables (e.g. mean/median/mode, standard deviation, min/max values; create a histogram or bar chart showing distribution for each of the DV and IV; at least one bivariate regression (DV & IV) with table of results and graph; at least one multivariate regression with all control variables;
linear regression analysis – interpret the following stats for each regression (for those who must additionally do logistic regression, don’t forget to read chapter 9 and then see HP or Burcu for help):
for each IV/control variable: sign (+/-) of Beta (besides intercept), t and related p-value, does zero (0) fall within the 95% confidence interval? whether yes or no, what does this mean?
for full model: R-squared, F/p-value;
use the Betas to write out the equation;
report the number of observations in each model
can you reject the null hypothesis? can you accept your research/alternative hypothesis?
Be sure to interpret all stats.
Comparison of bivariate and multivariate regressions? Did the relationship (significance) between your IV and DV change when you added control variables? If so, how? what does this mean? If no, what does this mean?
What did the author find? The results section explains what the author found when they analyzed the data. This section can be quite technical, reporting the results in detailed technical tables.
This section should include tables and figures (well-formatted).
NOTE: You should also submit a copy of your DO file with all of your analysis HERE.
7. CONCLUSION
300 words
What does it all mean and why is it important? What were the author’s overall findings? Why are these findings important? What limitations does the author identify? What should be studied next on this topic?
In this section, the author discusses what the results mean and how the study contributes to existing knowledge on the topic. Here, the research questions are answered and it should be clear at this point whether the hypotheses were supported. In the conclusion, the author usually relates the paper back to the larger context and suggests avenues for future research.

The professor is giving me a chance to resubmit the midterm. I need assistance with fixing my errors. Attached is my midterm exam and instructions for review. I also attached the documents on which the midterm is based.

The academic study of International Relations is in the process of “discovering” history, especially of regions outside of the “the West.” In particular, scholars are now looking to Asia’s past to generate theoretical insights to enrich IR theory in order to overcome Eurocentrism. Given this background, write a review essay after reading ONE of the following two articles. Your essay must succinctly summarize the article’s core argument(s) and tell us how the article contributes to our understanding of great power politics and/or of the making/shaping of the international order. (NOTE: This is a research essay even as it ‘reviews’ one of the essays below. The essays below engage in certain debates. You will need to familiarize yourself with those debates).
