5-2 Final Project Milestone Three: Theoretical Approaches

Instructions

Submit an analysis and evaluation of at least two existing theoretical approaches used to explain the global policy issue that you have selected. The paper should include a detailed discussion that compares and contrasts the different theoretical approaches relevant to your global policy issue. The paper should go further to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the various theories and should clearly specify the theoretical approach that you think is the most effective. This assignment should be submitted in the form of a two-page paper.

To complete this assignment, review the Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric document.

Overview: The final project for this course is the creation of a policy brief, which scholars often draft for think tanks and research institutes with the goal of shaping policy decisions. (See the Final Project Document for more information.) In this milestone, due in Module Five, you will submit a short paper that will consist of an analysis and evaluation of at least two existing theoretical approaches used to explain the global policy issue that you have selected. The paper should include a detailed discussion that compares and contrasts the different theoretical approaches relevant to your global policy issue and should discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the various theories, clearly specifying the theoretical approach that you think is the most effective.

The following critical elements will be addressed in this submission:

1. Theory I: Select a theory discussed in the course that applies to your identified problem or issue. Use this theory to explain your problem and why the problem occurred. Include at least one representative, peer-reviewed article that embodies the essence of the theory.

2. Theory II: Select a theory discussed in the course that applies to your identified problem or issue. Use this theory to explain your problem and why the problem occurred. Include at least one representative, peer-reviewed article that embodies the essence of the theory.

3. Compare and contrast the two theoretical approaches chosen. In other words, how do these two theories differ? How are they similar?

4. Evaluate the effectiveness of the two chosen theoretical approaches. In other words, do your findings support or refute the two theories that you have chosen? What are the strengths and weaknesses of these theories in addressing the problem?

5. Apply one of the theoretical approaches previously discussed that you think would be the most effective framework to address the global policy issue relevant to globalization and world politics. Justify your claims regarding why the chosen theoretical framework is the best choice to address the global policy problem.
