Keeping in mind that the themes of our class and text book are that Institutions Matter, Reform can and does happen and that Comparisons help us put things in context, hone in on a specific policy within your policy group and then study it, analyze it, use the resources that are in the final 2-3 pages of every chapter and then write a thoughtful analysis of your chosen topic. If you choose to use outside sources, add a Reference page on the end and cite those. Give me an intro, 1-2 pages of data and 1-2 pages of your value added analysis – both descriiptive and normative, and then a conclusion. Of course it goes without saying you will use 12 point font, double space, 1 inch margins, number your pages, use facts, evidence and logic, etc.
Here are some ideas on how to approach this:
What is peculiar or different about policy in the states or cities you have chosen to compare? Does it do what other states do or does it have a unique way of doing it? Is it good or is it bad or is it just an example of the people of one state choosing one way to do things that fits them and other states doing it their own way, i.e., what federalism is all about. How does it relates to federalism; how it is an example of federalism and what type – dual, cooperative, progressive, etc. (hint – re-read Ch 2). Or is this one of those issues where, clearly, the federal government MUST step in and create a national law that every state must accept. Why shouldn’t each state be allowed to decide for itself? And who has the burden of proof? In other words, does the state have the burden of proof to make its own decisions or does the US have the burden of proof? How would we decide this if there is a conflict?
A good paper will have a great introduction so that the reader will know what you plan to discuss and the point you are trying to make; it will then continue for several pages making the points, using facts and evidence and logic and descriiptive analysis, and then offering up a nice tidy little conclusion which may very well offer some normative assessments of what you have found and perhaps even some suggestions for future policy reforms. Have fun!

212- International Realtions
short outline of the class:
– models of IR
– economics and IR
– democracy and IR
– challenges in IR today and tomorrow

My teacher already failed me once on this assignment so I need another approach but this is the problem statement for my group, she doesn’t tell you in the instructions but its an auto 0 if this problem statement isn’t used: The Willow Projects approval minimizes Alaskan voices within their indigenous community. The project promotes environmental classism with pollutive construction and carbon emissions, which will damage the cultural lifestyle and resources of Alaskan ecology and community.
I thought the sources I used within the module were good but I got 0 also so, just find peer reviewed sources please.
Annotated Bibliography
In this assignment you will use the identified problem statement as a guide for selecting academic and other literature to support a multi-disciplinary investigation.
The problem statement is the guide for your investigation. Your disciplinary analysis should discover and expose the strengths, weaknesses and omissions in disciplinary literature and insights. This is the most critical exercise of your project. Later, you will move on to a multi-disciplinary analysis that will balance the disciplinary contributions and insights. Finally, you will engage in a creative, interdisciplinary perspective that serves to satisfy various experiences and insights related to the problem. But for now, engage in the first step of the project, Disciplinary Analysis.
This Annotated Bibliography should first state the problem statement.
Second: Collect relevant sources in a single discipline to which you are assigned. Suggested articles are offered through the assignment module in Canvas.
Finally, you will create an annotated bibliography Links to an external site. (link for more info on those) detailing some of the various sources you intend to use and how those sources fit into a disciplinary investigation of the problem.
Your Annotated Bibliography should contain the following:
1. Provide the problem statement. Write it in full at the top of your document.
2. Describe the literature that you plan to use for your research. The sources that you choose to include in this annotated bibliography should be directly related to your stated problem. Follow the guidelines explained below.
list each source and provide a brief content summary,
explain its significance to your stated problem
explain how the literature will be useful in representing a disciplinary perspective related to your stated problem in the following ways:
What types of information or data do the authors use to support their positions?
What are the theoretical bases for the author’s position?
How does the author use disciplinary assumptions to provide a basis for their positions?
How does each article contribute to a disciplinary understanding of the problem?
Be sure it is ready to read. Your peers will be reading it. This annotated bibliography will serve as an explanation of the disciplinary perspective you have uncovered. In the next step, you will review and respond to papers from your group mates.
Some advice for completing this assignment:
Follow the instructions in this link on how to prepare an annotated bibliography Links to an external site..
Select a minimum 2 sources for the annotated bibliography. There are articles provided in the module. However, if you choose to find other articles, be sure they are peer reviewed Links to an external site..
This is not a general summary of articles. Use the academic literature as a means to find information that you need regarding the problem you are researching. The summary of each source should reveal information pertinent to your purposes of establishing and communicating a disciplinary perspective on the problem..
Identify sources that inform you about your problem AND express a disciplinary perspective. Be sure your choice of sources will contribute to a balance of disciplinary perspectives in your group.
Writing style and grammar matter. Writing well is key to having people take you seriously when you submit something in print. As such, it matters here. Take the time to make sure your work reads well (has a flow and organization that others can follow easily) and make sure to clear it of any typos or grammatical errors. For more on writing style, here’s Kurt Vonnegut Links to an external site..
Cite any conclusions or declarative statements. If you derive information from an outside source (even if it’s just grabbing specifics on something you already know), you have to cite it.
Please properly format your citations for all work from which you derive information used in your paper. Many sources available through the FSU library have a simple link that formats your citations for you. Use “cite this” on the search page for each of your sources to see the proper format. If you use other sources, follow the citation guidelines also available through the FSU library. See the Citation Management option under the Research tab on the library home page. You may use MLA or APA formatting styles. Whichever you use, be consistent throughout your paper.
Remember this: Brevity is the soul of wit. Be thorough but concise.

This examination comprises three essay prompts. Each essay should not exceed three pages, making the total length of your submission a maximum of nine pages. Please note that this page count does not incorporate title and reference pages. Ensure your essays directly answer the questions provided. Begin each essay by articulating a clear thesis statement or argument within the introductory paragraph. Utilize the main body of the essay to further elaborate on these theses, providing concrete evidence drawn from theories, concepts, and required readings associated with this course 1. Dimock criticized that Wilson is unrealistic in saying that the field of administration is a field of business and there is no scope for politics. Do you agree or disagree with Wilson’s non-political prospective of the bureaucracy? Why or why not? Please use relevant examples in your response. 2. Compare and contrast two classic public administration theories (i.e., Weber’s Bureaucratic Model; Down’s Model; Rigg’s Ecological Model; Dorsey’s Information Model; Mathur’s Model; The Development Model). Discuss whether the selected theories are relevant in addressing bureaucratic operation and responsibility in modern western nations. 3. According to Adolino and Blake, the economic resources available to a country shape the expectations of citizens and policymakers alike. Discuss the importance of economic conditions on national policy making.

The Paris Climate Agreement is an international treaty developed and adopted by 196 parties on 12 December 2015. The stated purpose of the agreement is to substantially reduce the production of global greenhouse gas emissions to limit the effect on the global climate. While the agreement addressed the problem from a global perspective, little was addressed related to local initiatives. Research and discuss one local or regional initiative which has been implemented to decrease greenhouse gases in North Carolina. Citing at least two external sources, write a paper that answers the following questions about the initiative: 1. What is the name of the initiative? 2. What city, state or region does it cover? 3. What are the stated goals of the initiative? 4. How does the initiative propose to reach those goals? 5. How successful has the initiative been at reaching its goals? 6. What level of support has the public shown for the initiative? Your external sources can be peer-reviewed journal articles or secondary sources such as trade journals, texts, local newspapers or magazines and the Internet. Once complete, submit the paper to this Dropbox. 350 words minimum, APA format.

It looks like you have a good idea of where you would like to direct the focus of the final paper!
A few notes to keep in mind:
Your thesis looks interesting!
Your sources look good, so just make sure they’re all in APA format.
It might be interesting to include a public opinion poll of how the public feels concerning the death penalty.
Does this tend to be a political issue? Either way, you’ll want to delve into why this issue is important to candidates and elected officials, or why it’s often overlooked.
You’ll want to discuss the cases of Furman v. Georgia and Gregg v. Georgia in depth, as both dealt with the constitutionality of the death penalty.

The National Security Council (NSC) is the President’s principal forum for considering national security and foreign policy matters. Members of the NSC provides critical information that advise and assist the President and to coordinate matters of national security among government agencies (The White House, 2022).
This week, students will create a PowerPoint Presentation for the National Security Council Meeting. For this project, students will imagine themselves holding a cabinet position on President Biden’s National Security Council. By being a cabinet member of the National Security Council team, the President of the United States and the American people are counting on you to provide a presentation that is accurate, timely, and actionable. That is, your PowerPoint presentation will inform and help guide United States foreign policy in the future so, ensure to bring your intellectual capabilities and acute analysis to the West-Wing of the White House.
Each student will select a position from the list of National Security Council Members below and developed a PowerPoint presentation directed to the President of the United States (the Chair of the National Security Council). In this PowerPoint presentation, students will assess the United States and China relations problem (utilizing contemporary events in explaining the issue) and provide recommendations in resolving the issue (go through a detail analysis in explaining the why should and how to).
In addition, as students prepare their PowerPoint presentation, they should consider the Four Pillars of International Relations. Remember, during the NSC meeting, the President of the United States is counting on you to provide expert analysis to the current problem.
The National Security Council Members:
Secretary of State
Secretary of the Treasury
Secretary of Defense
Director of National Intelligence
Secretary of Homeland Security
Each PowerPoint presentation shall follow this format: Summary, Background, Analysis, and Recommendation.
Summary: identify the topic selected and explain how this is a problem in the international system [no less than 2 slides]
Background: explain how this issue has affected the United States and the international system by taking a historical approach and utilizing contemporary events (how as the U.S. responded to this issue in the past and etc.) [no less than 3 slides]
Analysis: based on your expert knowledge, what is currently working to solve the issue; what is not currently working to resolve the issue, what organizations and countries are working to resolve this issue, [no less than 2 slides]
Recommendation: based on your expert knowledge, what should the policy be going forward, in what way should the United States approach the international system in resolving the issue or should the United States go at in alone, are there going to be any pushback from other countries or the American people (and what are the reasons for the opposition) [no less than 3 slides]
