Examining International Conflict Resolution through the Lens of the United Nations Security Council: Analyze the UN (United Nations) Security Council’s Iraq Weapon Inspection as a Case Study
Assignment 1 – Research Proposal
To complete this assignment you are asked to:
(1) Identify a research topic that analyzes the interactions of state, non-state, and supranational actors to examine for your 10-12-page research paper that is due at the end of Week 8
(2) Identify a specific research question that your paper will address. The question should be analytical, and not descriptive, in nature (The question should examine why something happened, not describe how it happened).
(3) Offer a brief explanation of the topic and your planned research
Research Topic and Question:
Your proposed research question should be approximately one paragraph (combined with a brief introduction, this first part of the paper will be between 1/2 to 1 page) in length and concisely state the issue you are proposing for the Research Paper, and the specific question that you are interested in answering.
You will have considerable leeway in choosing your topic, although it should center on patterns of conflict and cooperation in the international system. Examples of appropriate topics are, for instance, the relative success and failure of regional integration efforts, but you could also look at one particular instance of regional integration. You may want to explore the causes and nature of war, or peace. Make sure to identify your general topic, but also a concise research question that can be answered in the space and time that you have available.
Of course, you can always message your instructor with any questions about a relevant paper topic.
Purpose Statement:
The purpose statement (second section of the paper) should be approximately 1-2 pages in length and outline (1) why you chose this particular topic and (2) why it is important (3) what you expect to learn.
The third section of the paper is a preliminary literature review (approximately 2 pages) of the first 6 sources you have selected—at least 2 of which must be scholarly/peer-reviewed sources.
The entire paper should be no more than 5 pages in length.
Submission details:

With the module on Federalism now behind us, we have gained a deeper understanding of the distribution of power between the federal and state governments in our country. Throughout the module, we delved into the intricacies of the federal system of government, examining the advantages and disadvantages of this system and how it affects the relationship between the two levels of government. We examined the historical context in which the federalist system was developed, including the debates between the Founding Fathers on the appropriate balance of power between the federal and state governments. We also explored the different types of federalism that exist, including dual federalism, cooperative federalism, and new federalism, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. Further, we also looked at how federalism affects various policy areas, such as education, healthcare, and law enforcement, as well as the relationship between the federal and state governments. Now that we have a deeper understanding of federalism, let’s apply this knowledge to our discussion. In a thought-provoking discussion address the following prompt question with above ideas and processes of federalism in mind (simply hit the ‘Reply’ button to begin). Question: What are some methods for overcoming collective action problems? Discuss instruments, such as grants or mandates, as well as federal relationships, such as cooperative federalism and regulated federalism. Given what we know about the difficulties of collective action, what does it mean for the future of the federal balance of power that these devices are necessary? Is it problematic for states to rely on carrots in the long run?

Consider one of the songs discussed in class this week. Listen to it, reflect on it, and consider the role that it played in its unique political moment. How is this song “political”? Is it overtly political? Is it musically political (transgressive in terms of the conventions of popular music)? Is a particular performance of the song what makes it political? Which of our philosophers’ ideas about music and politics speaks most directly to that relationship in the song you have chosen?
