• A clear thesis statement (Example: The most accurate explanation for militant Islam is the X explanation, as X, Y, and Z.)
• At least one paragraph that provides a general overview of the issue or topic that demonstrates that you understand the basics of the issue/topic.
• Supporting arguments with examples from global politics • And a concise conclusion
Again, this is meant to be an argumentative paper, so there are no “right” or “wrong” answers, but you must support your position with clear argumentation as well as data and evidence. Your paper should include real world examples, either contemporary or from history, that would support your argument (Note: all examples should come from international politics, NOT domestic).

Your paper must include either in-text footnotes or parenthetical citations for any ideas, quotations, data, or other information from any sources that you include in your paper. In addition, you should list in a bibliography/works cited all sources you consulted and used in researching and writing your paper (the bibliography and/or footnotes do NOT count toward the page requirement). Your paper should be 3-5 pages long, double spaced, 12-point font in Times New Roman, with one-inch margins. DO NOT attempt to use spacing or margin gimmicks/tricks to lengthen your paper.

Prompt Options:

2. You were assigned to read “Is Nuclear Zero the Best Option?” by Scott Sagan and Kenneth Waltz. Sagan says yes, Waltz says no. Who is correct? In our contemporary international context is it best to work toward ridding the world of all nuclear weapons, or would the eradication of these weapons lead to even greater instability and conflict?

FORMATTING TEMPLATE (title)
This is a paper on a topic from international politics that I have chosen. I understand that the paper should be properly formatted and that any deviation from the proper format will adversely affect my grade (Mikami, 2018). I further realize that Nate Mikami absolutely detests any attempt to game the system by putting dumb spacing or 1.5-inch margins in my paper. Nate’s formatting instructions make complete sense and I will follow them, as the formatting makes my paper look clean and pretty, and following simple instructions and fully reading the prompt demonstrates that I care about my academic career and that I am invested in this course. When you start a new paragraph there is absolutely NO need to put quadruple spaces between the paragraphs. As stated in the instructions, double spacing is the expectation. Doesn’t this look nice and clean? Also, there is no need to put your bibliography on an entirely new page. Just put a bolded ‘Bibliography’ or ‘Works Cited’ title, and then proceed to list your sources. The sources themselves should be single spaced, with double space between each source. Good luck with your paper. Bibliography: Mikami, Nathan. “I Don’t Care What Citation Format You Use, Just Make it Consistent”,
