Below is my Research Question. Based on my Question, Purpose, and Sources, Need to provide an OUTLINE (See Instructions) and an 8 page paper

Research Question

What does it like to be poverty-stricken?How is it being determined?

{{What is exactly your research question or the issue you want to research in particular? Be much more specific: is it about the root causes of poverty? What specific aspects would you focus on?}}

Pick from the SOURCES (whichever is easier) but the Root Causes of Poverty will probably the easiest

Statement of Purpose

Poverty is about much more than the rise or fall of national incomes. It is being deprived of good health (lack of food/nutrition), education, and cheap laborsfrom other countries

{{What international relations theoretical perspectives will you be relying on for this research paper? In what way your approach is unique and contributes to a better or different understanding of the issue as compared to existing literature and analysis on the same topic?}}

Sources
{{List sources with Turabian style and include at least three peer-reviewed/scholarly sources.

Be sure to start with scholarly sources and then rely on popular materials for support and/or examples}}

(Alvaré, 2006)

(Cuello, 2002)

(Friedman, 2003)

(KudvaBeneria, 2005)

(Rodrik,2012)

(Tausch, 2010)

Methods

In order for me to do my research, I will use sources from Cornell.edu and ciaonet.org, both carries a variety of articles and book that I can reference on my subject matter which is about Global Poverty

{{Be sure to start with scholarly sources and then rely on popular materials for support and/or examples}}

{{Good topic that needs a greater focus/level of specificityand good scholarly sources so as to build on the current state of research on the issue}}

Outline

Instructions:

  • Look at the pdf attached that provides the basic elements of your outline.

Organize your outline this way:

Statement of the problem
A. What is the problem?
B. Purpose statement one - why it's important
C.Purpose statement two - how your work will contribute to its solution.
I. Background to the problem
A.First important piece of information on the background.
B. Second important piece of information on the background.
C. Third important piece of information on the background.
II. Issues - include the theoretical framework or worldview that best applies in solving the problem
A. What is the primary issue in the problem?
B. What is another important issue in the problem?
C. What is a less-important issue in the problem?
Iii. Complicating factors
A. What's the biggest obstacle in solving this problem?
B.What's another reason it will be difficult to solve the problem?
C. What else is getting in the way of a lasting solution?
IV. Possible solutions
A.Solution 1
B.Solution 2
C.Solution 3
V. Recommendation
Using one or more of the complicating factors, compose a statement that begins with the word "although." Tell us what the complicating factors are in a general way, then insert a comma and proceed with the second part of the sentence - your solution. Give your solution and three good reasons why.
Vi. Anticipated outcome
Provide as many ideas as you think likely in anticipated outcomes, listing them as A, B, C, etc.
Writing the Final Assignment (Research Project)

The final assignment has three predominant features:

  1. understand the history of a problem in an international relations context, including the theories and concepts at play within it;
  2. present a case study in which the problem is identifiable and compelling;
  3. offer a solution or the practical application of a model.

For the most part, all three – history, case study, and practical application – may be accomplished using a tool that international relations scholars have borrowed from the “real world.” For the executive summary, prepare the following:
Paper Length: No more and no fewer than eight (8) pages

1 page - Introduction and background to the Problem - include thesis statement
1 page - Issues - What are at least three-four issues within the problem?
6 pages - Research and Analysis Pages

Questions to ask in creating the paper text:

Introduction - 1/2 page or about 1 paragraph
What is the problem that needs to be addressed? You will want to include the "solution" at the end of this introduction as your thesis statement or answer to the question (see below).
Background - 1/2 page or about 1 paragraph
What is the history of the problem?
Issues - 1 page (briefly state them in about 1 paragraph each)
What are at least three-four issues within the problem? Be aware of the themes (our weekly content) for the course and try to choose issues that dovetail with the course themes.
Research and Analysis Questions - answer these questions in the remaining 6 pages.Use the subheadings provided in order to give your reader a roadmap!
Complicating Issues
What is getting in the way of a solution? Fully explain two-three complications.
Possible Solutions
How could the problem be solved? Provide a few different ideas from various theoretical viewpoints studied in the course. Back them up with research that you have found.
Recommendation -
Given the complicating factors, what is the best solution? Why? Back up your ideas with research or an analogous model (something that has worked in a slightly similar situation that you could apply to this problem).
Summary - Anticipated Outcome
What effect will the solution have on the problem? (Be sure to summarize problem in its entirety in the summary, including the solution and anticipated outcome.)
This basic outline presents an executive summarywhen all questions are answered. An executive summary is a very short document that sums up the problem and the solution. In its most effective form, an executive summary should only be one page long. The summary is placed at the beginning of a report or paper so that the “problem” and “answer” are easily identifiable for the reader. Of course, the more detailed report follows – but it also uses the basic outline above. In short, the executive summary really is the condensed version of the full report. Whether you work in business, for the government, or any other organization, you will use this form often to identify, understand, and solve problems. You may not always write it out formally, but your decision-making process will be constructed in a similar way.
Remember:All research papers need to have a thesis statement - which is answer to your research question. You may not really know what your overall "answer" or thesis is until you've written the first draft of the paper. That is okay. Go back to compose your introductory paragraph to include the thesis. To see more on how to compose a thesis statement, see "Developing A Thesis Statement." You are writing an explanatory research paper. It is important to write in third person (not first) in a formal paper. Take yourself out of the paper as much as possible. Present arguments with supporting research that is logical and solid, showing that you understand the issue at hand and the theoretical IR concepts behind it.
Your overall paper will be no fewer and no more than eight pages (plus a References List that does not count toward the limit), double-spaced, 12 point font in Times New Roman, Calibri, or Arial typeface. You will definitely find a lot of information on your topic. Therefore, it is an art to write to the limit of eight pages.
