OBJECTIVES ​ ​FOR ​ ​ASSIGNMENT:​ ​​ ​​Upon ​ ​completion, ​ ​this​ ​research ​ ​paper
will ​ ​satisfy​ ​the ​ ​following ​ ​course ​ ​objectives​ ​discussed ​ ​in ​ ​the ​ ​course ​ ​syllabus:
● Understand ​ ​the ​ ​significance ​ ​of ​ ​major​ ​events​ ​shaping ​ ​the ​ ​international ​ ​system​ ​since
1648;
● Possess​ ​knowledge ​ ​of ​ ​the ​ ​principle ​ ​issues, ​ ​arenas, ​ ​and ​ ​actors​ ​in ​ ​international ​ ​relations;
● Complete ​ ​independent ​ ​research, ​ ​providing ​ ​analysis​ ​and ​ ​synthesis​ ​of ​ ​the ​ ​information
discovered ​ ​in ​ ​the ​ ​research ​ ​process;
● Analyze ​ ​the ​ ​major​ ​components​ ​of ​ ​international ​ ​relations: ​ ​the ​ ​structure ​ ​of ​ ​the ​ ​international
system​ ​and ​ ​how/why​ ​it ​ ​has​ ​evolved, ​ ​the ​ ​role ​ ​of ​ ​power, ​ ​the ​ ​meaning ​ ​of ​ ​security​ ​and ​ ​the
importance ​ ​of ​ ​economic​ ​issues;
● Appreciate ​ ​the ​ ​role ​ ​of ​ ​cultural ​ ​values​ ​and ​ ​perceptions​ ​in ​ ​relationships​ ​among ​ ​countries.
BACKGROUND:​ ​​ ​​Separatism​ ​is​ ​the ​ ​political ​ ​act ​ ​of ​ ​a ​ ​smaller​ ​group
attempting ​ ​to ​ ​formally​ ​separate ​ ​itself ​ ​from​ ​a ​ ​larger​ ​group. ​ ​Motivation ​ ​for​ ​this
may​ ​be ​ ​religious, ​ ​ethnic, ​ ​cultural, ​ ​or​ ​economic. ​ ​While ​ ​many​ ​separatist
movements​ ​are ​ ​currently​ ​underway, ​ ​most ​ ​movements​ ​are ​ ​using ​ ​the
possibility​ ​of ​ ​separating ​ ​from​ ​the ​ ​larger​ ​group ​ ​(state)​ ​as​ ​leverage. ​ ​Many
groups​ ​simply​ ​want ​ ​more ​ ​autonomy​ ​and ​ ​are ​ ​seeking ​ ​a ​ ​means​ ​to ​ ​negotiate
this​ ​additional ​ ​autonomy. ​ ​While ​ ​some ​ ​movements​ ​will ​ ​result ​ ​in ​ ​full
independence, ​ ​other​ ​potential ​ ​remedies​ ​include ​ ​constitutional ​ ​amendments
addressing ​ ​the ​ ​issues​ ​raised ​ ​by​ ​the ​ ​separatist ​ ​movement, ​ ​additional ​ ​rights
and/or​ ​political ​ ​opportunities​ ​for​ ​members​ ​of ​ ​the ​ ​minority​ ​group ​ ​(those
espousing ​ ​separatism), ​ ​a ​ ​re-alignment ​ ​of ​ ​the ​ ​political ​ ​structure ​ ​of ​ ​the ​ ​state,
as​ ​well ​ ​as​ ​the ​ ​potential ​ ​for​ ​an ​ ​overwhelming ​ ​and ​ ​disproportionate ​ ​military
response ​ ​from​ ​the ​ ​home ​ ​country. ​ ​​ ​Studying ​ ​the ​ ​concept ​ ​of ​ ​separatism​ ​will
provide ​ ​the ​ ​student ​ ​with ​ ​a ​ ​more ​ ​in-depth ​ ​appreciation ​ ​of ​ ​the ​ ​following
issues​ ​related ​ ​to ​ ​the ​ ​study​ ​of ​ ​International ​ ​Relations: ​ ​International ​ ​Law,Neo-Liberal ​ ​Institutions, ​ ​Realism​ ​v. ​ ​Liberalism, ​ ​U.S. ​ ​Foreign ​ ​

Policy,
International ​ ​Political ​ ​Economy, ​ ​and ​ ​Geopolitics.
ASSIGNMENT:​ ​​The ​ ​student ​ ​will ​ ​write ​ ​a ​ ​research ​ ​paper​ ​8 ​ ​– ​ ​10 ​ ​pages​ ​in
length ​ ​on ​ ​the ​ ​topic​ ​assigned. ​ ​The ​ ​topic​ ​assigned ​ ​will ​ ​allow ​ ​the ​ ​student ​ ​to
craft ​ ​an ​ ​argument ​ ​using ​ ​appropriate, ​ ​college-level ​ ​sources. ​ ​For​ ​the
assignment, ​ ​​PHOTOS ​ ​ARE ​ ​NOT ​ ​ALLOWED ​ ​TO ​ ​BE ​ ​INCLUDED. ​ ​Quotes
of​ ​3+ ​ ​lines ​ ​are ​ ​not​ ​allowed ​ ​(the ​ ​student​ ​should ​ ​paraphrase ​ ​in ​ ​lieu ​ ​of​ ​a
direct​ ​quote). ​ ​​In ​ ​addition, ​ ​​tables, ​ ​charts, ​ ​graphs, ​ ​etc. ​ ​shall ​ ​only ​ ​be ​ ​used
when ​ ​absolutely ​ ​necessary ​ ​and ​ ​​MUST ​ ​​be ​ ​included ​ ​in ​ ​an ​ ​Appendix ​ ​(an
Appendix ​ ​​NEVER ​ ​​counts ​ ​toward ​ ​the ​ ​minimum​ ​page ​ ​requirement). ​ ​The
title ​ ​page, ​ ​as ​ ​well ​ ​as ​ ​reference/bibliography ​ ​pages ​ ​are ​ ​also ​ ​excluded
from​ ​the ​ ​page ​ ​count. ​ ​​This​ ​assignment ​ ​requires​ ​the ​ ​student ​ ​to ​ ​collect ​ ​and
organize ​ ​his/her​ ​sources​ ​and ​ ​then ​ ​propose ​ ​a ​ ​succinct ​ ​hypothesis​ ​that ​ ​will
be ​ ​tested ​ ​within ​ ​the ​ ​research ​ ​paper. ​ ​The ​ ​conclusion ​ ​reached ​ ​should ​ ​reflect
a ​ ​determination ​ ​of ​ ​the ​ ​research ​ ​in ​ ​the ​ ​subject ​ ​matter.
SOURCES:​ ​​As​ ​mentioned ​ ​in ​ ​the ​ ​syllabus, ​ ​there ​ ​is​ ​a ​ ​minimum​ ​requirement
of ​ ​9 ​ ​sources​ ​(academic​ ​justification ​ ​for​ ​this​ ​minimum​ ​requirement ​ ​is
provided ​ ​in ​ ​the ​ ​course ​ ​syllabus). ​ ​​THE ​ ​FOLLOWING ​ ​ARE ​ ​NOT ​ ​TO ​ ​BE
USED ​ ​FOR ​ ​THE ​ ​RESEARCH ​ ​ASSIGNMENT:​ ​Dictionaries​ ​(online ​ ​or
bound), ​ ​internet ​ ​web ​ ​sites​ ​(including ​ ​blogs)​ ​that ​ ​are ​ ​agenda-driven ​ ​(if
unsure ​ ​if ​ ​this​ ​is​ ​the ​ ​case, ​ ​ask), ​ ​encyclopedias​ ​(online ​ ​or​ ​bound),
magazines, ​ ​as​ ​well ​ ​as​ ​other​ ​sources​ ​not ​ ​appropriate ​ ​for​ ​college-level ​ ​work.
The ​ ​focal ​ ​point ​ ​of ​ ​your​ ​research ​ ​should ​ ​be ​ ​books​ ​and/or​ ​peer-reviewed
journal ​ ​articles. ​ ​(EBSCOHost, ​ ​PROQUEST). ​ ​​A ​ ​CURSORY
INVESTIGATION ​ ​OF ​ ​POTENTIAL ​ ​SOURCES ​ ​AVAILABLE ​ ​VIA ​ ​BOTHPROQUEST ​ ​AND ​ ​EBSCOHOST ​ ​REVEALED ​ ​1,422 ​ ​POTENTIAL
SOURCES. ​ ​AS ​ ​SUCH, ​ ​IT ​ ​IS ​ ​EXPECTED ​ ​THAT ​ ​THE ​ ​STUDENT ​ ​WILL
NOT ​ ​ENCOUNTER ​ ​ANY ​ ​DIFFICULTIES ​ ​IN ​ ​FINDING ​ ​APPROPRIATE
SOURCES ​ ​FOR ​ ​HIS/HER ​ ​RESEARCH ​ ​ASSIGNMENT.
HYPOTHESIS:​ ​​ ​A ​ ​Research ​ ​Question ​ ​as ​ ​well ​ ​as ​ ​a ​ ​Hypothesis ​ ​are
REQUIRED ​ ​for ​ ​this ​ ​assignment. ​ ​YOUR ​ ​HYPOTHESIS ​ ​MUST ​ ​BE ​ ​A
DECLARATIVE ​ ​STATEMENT. ​ ​​ ​IN ​ ​ADDITION, ​ ​IT ​ ​SHOULD ​ ​DEAL ​ ​WITH
“X ​ ​AND ​ ​Y”​ ​ONLY!!!!!​ ​NOT ​ ​“X ​ ​AND ​ ​Y ​ ​AND ​ ​Z”. ​ ​THE ​ ​HYPOTHESIS
SHOULD ​ ​BE ​ ​FREE ​ ​OF ​ ​SUBJECTIVE ​ ​TERMS ​ ​– ​ ​DO ​ ​NOT ​ ​IDENTIFY
ANYTHING ​ ​AS ​ ​GOOD/BAD ​ ​(your ​ ​opinion ​ ​may ​ ​be ​ ​different​ ​than ​ ​the
reader’s ​ ​and ​ ​this ​ ​is ​ ​NOT ​ ​what​ ​you ​ ​are ​ ​trying ​ ​to ​ ​prove). ​ ​THE
HYPOTHESIS ​ ​MUST ​ ​BE ​ ​SOMETHING ​ ​THAT ​ ​CAN ​ ​BE ​ ​TESTED!​ ​So, ​ ​let
us ​ ​assume ​ ​one ​ ​is ​ ​doing ​ ​research ​ ​on ​ ​drug ​ ​usage ​ ​among ​ ​young ​ ​adults.
AN ​ ​INNAPROPRIATE ​ ​HYPOTHESIS ​ ​WOULD ​ ​BE:​ ​“Drug ​ ​usage ​ ​among
high ​ ​school ​ ​students ​ ​reflects ​ ​poor ​ ​choices.”​ ​WHAT ​ ​IS ​ ​A ​ ​POOR
CHOICE? ​ ​Instead, ​ ​an ​ ​APPROPRIATE ​ ​HYPOTHESIS ​ ​WOULD ​ ​BE:​ ​“As
high ​ ​school ​ ​graduation ​ ​rates ​ ​rise, ​ ​the ​ ​rate ​ ​of​ ​drug ​ ​usage ​ ​among
young ​ ​adults ​ ​goes ​ ​down.”​ ​There ​ ​is ​ ​nothing ​ ​subjective ​ ​regarding ​ ​the
second ​ ​hypothesis. ​ ​There ​ ​is ​ ​direction ​ ​to ​ ​the ​ ​hypothesis. ​ ​Policy
makers ​ ​can ​ ​then ​ ​take ​ ​the ​ ​findings ​ ​and ​ ​implement​ ​policies ​ ​that​ ​assist
X. ​ ​A ​ ​policy ​ ​maker ​ ​would ​ ​want​ ​high ​ ​school ​ ​graduation ​ ​rates ​ ​to ​ ​rise.
[S]he ​ ​would ​ ​then ​ ​implement​ ​programs ​ ​to ​ ​assist​ ​in ​ ​this. ​ ​[S]he ​ ​would
then ​ ​track ​ ​the ​ ​results, ​ ​expecting ​ ​drug ​ ​usage ​ ​to ​ ​go ​ ​down. ​ ​If​ ​confirmed,
the ​ ​policy ​ ​would ​ ​be ​ ​deemed ​ ​successful, ​ ​with ​ ​even ​ ​more ​ ​programs
aimed ​ ​at​ ​increasing ​ ​high ​ ​school ​ ​graduation ​ ​rates ​ ​to ​ ​come.
CITATIONS:​ ​​ ​​Proper​ ​citation ​ ​is​ ​a ​ ​​MUST ​ ​​for​ ​any​ ​written ​ ​assignment ​ ​at ​ ​the
college ​ ​level. ​ ​A ​ ​citation ​ ​must ​ ​be ​ ​provided ​ ​in ​ ​the ​ ​body​ ​of ​ ​the ​ ​paper​ ​as​ ​well
as​ ​at ​ ​the ​ ​end ​ ​in ​ ​the ​ ​Reference ​ ​page/Bibliography. ​ ​To ​ ​achieve ​ ​conformity
among ​ ​the ​ ​group, ​ ​each ​ ​student ​ ​MUST ​ ​use ​ ​APA ​ ​style ​. ​ ​​APA ​ ​is​ ​the ​ ​officialstyle ​ ​of ​ ​the ​ ​American ​ ​Political ​ ​Science ​ ​Association. ​ ​Each ​ ​student ​

​must
adhere ​ ​to ​ ​this​ ​style ​ ​throughout ​ ​the ​ ​paper. ​ ​​FAILURE ​ ​TO ​ ​PROPERLY ​ ​CITE
ONE’S ​ ​SOURCES ​ ​IS ​ ​AN ​ ​EXAMPLE ​ ​OF ​ ​PLAGIARISM​ ​AND ​ ​WILL
RESULT ​ ​IN ​ ​A ​ ​FAILING ​ ​GRADE ​ ​FOR ​ ​THE ​ ​PAPER, ​ ​POSSIBLY ​ ​THE
COURSE ​ ​AND ​ ​MAY ​ ​SEE ​ ​ADDITIONAL ​ ​PENALTIES ​ ​LEVIED ​ ​BY ​ ​THE
COLLEGE.
BODY ​ ​OF ​ ​THE ​ ​PAPER:​ ​​ ​​ ​An ​ ​abstract ​ ​is​ ​not ​ ​necessary​ ​for​ ​this​ ​assignment.
The ​ ​student ​ ​shall ​ ​propose ​ ​a ​ ​research ​ ​hypothesis​ ​within ​ ​the ​ ​introduction
section ​ ​of ​ ​the ​ ​paper. ​ ​The ​ ​student ​ ​shall ​ ​prepare ​ ​a ​ ​well-researched,
well-documented ​ ​research ​ ​paper​ ​which ​ ​provides​ ​a ​ ​detailed ​ ​analysis​ ​of
his/her​ ​individual ​ ​topic​ ​regarding ​ ​separatism. ​ ​In ​ ​doing ​ ​so, ​ ​the ​ ​student ​ ​shall
rely​ ​upon ​ ​existing ​ ​literature ​ ​in ​ ​the ​ ​field. ​ ​In ​ ​any​ ​research ​ ​paper, ​ ​the ​ ​student
should ​ ​refrain ​ ​from​ ​using ​ ​such ​ ​phrases​ ​as, ​ ​“I ​ ​believe ​ ​…”, ​ ​instead ​ ​using ​ ​the
works​ ​of ​ ​others​ ​to ​ ​make ​ ​his/her​ ​case. ​ ​The ​ ​student ​ ​should ​ ​refrain ​ ​from
subjective ​ ​analysis​ ​(nothing ​ ​is​ ​good ​ ​or​ ​bad), ​ ​instead ​ ​utilizing ​ ​the ​ ​body​ ​of
literature ​ ​available ​ ​on ​ ​this​ ​topic​ ​to ​ ​provide ​ ​objective ​ ​analysis.
PARTS ​ ​OF ​ ​THIS ​ ​ASSIGNMENT:​ ​​The ​ ​individual ​ ​assignment ​ ​shall ​ ​be
completed ​ ​in ​ ​several ​ ​steps. ​ ​The ​ ​first ​ ​assignment ​ ​is​ ​to ​ ​submit ​ ​an ​ ​annotated
bibliography. ​ ​The ​ ​second ​ ​step ​ ​is​ ​to ​ ​submit ​ ​one’s​ ​research ​ ​question ​ ​and
hypothesis. ​ ​The ​ ​third ​ ​step ​ ​is​ ​to ​ ​submit ​ ​a ​ ​​MANDATORY ​ ​​rough ​ ​draft ​ ​of ​ ​one’s
paper. ​ ​The ​ ​final ​ ​step ​ ​is​ ​to ​ ​submit ​ ​a ​ ​final ​ ​draft ​ ​of ​ ​the ​ ​paper​ ​that ​ ​incorporates
suggestions​ ​received ​ ​after​ ​submitting ​ ​the ​ ​rough ​ ​draft. ​ ​The ​ ​student ​ ​should
check​ ​the ​ ​syllabus​ ​for​ ​due ​ ​dates​ ​for​ ​each ​ ​part ​ ​of ​ ​the ​ ​assignment.ANNOTATED ​ ​BIBLIOGRAPHY:​ ​​The ​ ​student ​ ​shall ​ ​submit ​ ​an ​ ​annotated
bibliography​ ​of ​ ​at ​ ​least ​ ​10 ​ ​sources​ ​[s]he ​ ​is​ ​considering ​ ​for​ ​the ​ ​research
paper. ​ ​The ​ ​student ​ ​shall ​ ​check​ ​the ​ ​syllabus​ ​for​ ​due ​ ​date. ​ ​Sources​ ​used ​ ​in
the ​ ​annotated ​ ​bibliography​ ​may/may​ ​not ​ ​be ​ ​used ​ ​in ​ ​the ​ ​final ​ ​draft ​ ​of ​ ​the
paper​ ​(hence, ​ ​the ​ ​reason ​ ​why​ ​10 ​ ​sources​ ​are ​ ​required ​ ​for​ ​the ​ ​annotated
bibliography​ ​and ​ ​only​ ​9 ​ ​sources​ ​are ​ ​required ​ ​for​ ​the ​ ​final ​ ​draft). ​ ​For​ ​those
students​ ​needing ​ ​assistance ​ ​in ​ ​writing ​ ​an ​ ​annotated ​ ​bibliography, ​ ​see ​ ​the
