For your paper, pick two authors we have studied or otherwise discussed in class. We then ask you to analyze their arguments and contemplate applying their theories within the international arena. (I have picked the authors already Francis Fukuyama and Samuel P huntington)
As an example, you could pick Huntington and his article on The Clash of Civilizations. Your analysis of the Huntington article should, at a minimum, include:
(1) The author’s thesis. In other words, what is the author’s position or purpose for his article? What does the author believe is or will be the case now or in the future?
(2) How does the author make his case? What examples does he or she use to support his or her thesis?
(3) Do you agree or disagree with the case the author is making and the examples he or she uses to support his or her thesis?
(4) Give an example or examples of things that have occurred since the author published his paper that tend to prove out or disprove the thesis.
(1) Thesis
(2) How does he make his case?
(3) Do you agree or disagree with him?
(4) Give examples of leaders who seem to have followed his advice. Napoleon would certainly be one of them. Are there others?
The paper should be double-spaced and be from 6-8 pages in length. I am looking for some critical thinking here, that is, if you are looking for the full 20 points
I will email you all the readings.
