First, students will have to find a topic of their research interest, related to the readings proposed in this unit.
Once you have selected the topic, you will have to define a research question to guide your research and help you construct an argument.
Second, students will have to identify some working hypotheses. Hypotheses can be formulated based on preliminary research. The evidence presented in the working paper will lead to validating or discarding the hypotheses formulated initially.
Third, students will proceed with writing the working paper following this basic structure:
Introduction
Development
Conclusions
List of references
A working paper always must include the following information:
Presentation of the topic (object of analysis) and the research question (problem you want to solve or answer)
Importance of the question (justification of research)
Hypotheses
Brief review of existing literature (explanations that existing literature gives to the proposed topic and which debates exist about this question).
Definition of the key concepts and theories used in the research.
Attention:
Do not forget to provide correct citations for all sources of information used for the elaboration of your exercise. As you know, in compliance with international standards of academic ethics, we must provide a citation every time we borrow an idea or some information from another author or source. Failing to do so is considered plagiarism!
It is very important to respect the given word limits. Please adjust your work to the indicated extension!
This CAT must be submitted through the electronic submission and registration system accessible through the virtual classroom. Please submit your exercise with a maximum extension of 3000 words, in Word, Open Office but not in PDF format.
Important Disclaimer
There are two types of citations that you must necessarily include in your Activity: in-text citations and the final bibliography.
A. In-text citations.
These are the citations you include in the body of your text, indicating only the author’s last name, the year of publication, and, if necessary, the page numbers where you found the information. You should write the complete citation of the work in point 2, the ‘Final List.’
(Information about in-text citations)Links to an external site.
There are three types of citations:
Direct quotations: A direct quotation is necessary when using the exact text of an author in your activity, indicated by the use of quotation marks (” “). Direct quotations are important because they lend credibility and support the claims of a work, allowing the reader to verify the information in the original sources.
Example: As Pont (2020, p. 29) states, “A ‘trade’ war that also affects the global economy and the political relations between countries worldwide.”
Indirect citations or paraphrases: Indirect citations, also known as paraphrases, are a technique used in academic work to incorporate information from other sources indirectly, using our own words to explain the original content. In a paraphrase, the original idea of the author is reexpressed to fit our academic work, without using the author’s exact words.
Similar to direct quotations, it is important to include the reference in the text to indicate the source of the information.
Example: As analyzed by Soler (2021, p. 3), the rivalry between the United States and China has become a structural characteristic of the emerging international system.
Citations about general information from a work or summaries of works: In this case, no specific text is being directly quoted, and no information from specific pages is being paraphrased. Instead, a general idea obtained from a reading or work is being indicated. Unlike the previous types, pages are not specified because the aim is to highlight a general idea or summary.
Example: As Mearsheimer’s work (2001) demonstrates, the balance of power between status quo powers and rising powers is the main source of instability in the international system.
B. Reference List
A final list with all complete citations.
In this course, it is necessary for the work to include a final list of all sources used, whether cited directly or indirectly, or consulted during the research process. This list, also known as a bibliography, in this course, must follow the APA citation style, ensuring coherence and accuracy in presenting information.
In general, works are presented in alphabetical order by the author’s last name or by the title of the work, and details such as the author’s name, the title of the work, the publication date, and the name of the publisher, among other details, are included.
