UNDERSTANDING THE POLITICAL WORLD
WRITING INTENSIVE
PAPER ASSIGNMENT
In a well-written, concise paper, trace the process of
CREATION, MAINTENANCE, and DECAY in ONE (1) of the
following systems:
1) The Khmer Rouge (Democratic Kampuchea)
2) The Kingdom of Madagascar.
3) The Republic of Texas.
4) The British in India.
5) The Trujillo regime in the Dominican Republic.
If you would like to examine a different system, you must get
permission first. It is important to note that I am not looking
for an historical account of these systems, i.e., what happened
and when. I am looking for an analysis of why. Of course it
will be necessary to include historical facts in your analysis, but
the focus should be on the process of creation, maintenance, and
decay. The following questions can be used as a guide:
CREATION:
1) What were the old social facts that no longer worked?
2) What were the human needs and why weren't they being
satisfied.
3) By what means were the new institutions established, by
revolution, elections, an alliance?
MAINTENANCE:
1) What were the institutions that maintained the system?
2) Who controlled them?
3) How were they enforced?
DECAY:
1) What led to decay? That is, what was it about the old
institutions that led to their failure?
2) What were the new human needs that the old institutions
could not meet?
The final paper should be typed, double spaced, and between
12-14 pages in length. It must include an introduction, a
conclusion, and subtitles. There must be notes where
appropriate, a bibliography, and a title page. Try not to fill
your bibliography with the same type of source. For example,
newspaper articles, weekly magazines such as Time,
encyclopedias and the Internet are good for obtaining general
background information, but should not be relied upon
exclusively. Your main sources should be scholarly, in-depth
analytic works.
Since many of you may not have written a paper of such length
before, the assignment will be broken up into three parts
corresponding to the above sections. That is, over the course of
the semester you will hand in three 4 page papers dealing with
creation, maintenance and decay respectively. In addition,
second drafts of each section will also be required. The final
paper will thus consist of the following: a title page, an
introduction, the creation section, the maintenance section, the
decay section, a conclusion and a bibliography. The assignment
dates are as follows:
Creation:
1st Draft: Monday, 2/10.
2nd Draft: Monday, 2/24.
Maintenance:
1st Draft: Monday, 3/16.
2nd Draft: Monday, 3/30.
Decay:
1st Draft: Wednesday, 4/8.
2nd Draft: Monday, 4/20.
Final paper: Wednesday, 4/29.
These deadlines must be adhered to. A half grade deduction
(for the entire paper) will be assessed for each deadline missed!
And the final paper will not be accepted after 4/29!
Although these deadlines must be adhered to, I will continue to
accept voluntary drafts of each section even after that section
deadline has passed, or, section drafts prior to the respective
due dates. I encourage you to hand in as many drafts as
possible in addition to the ones required.
Plagiarism will be dealt with severely and in accordance with
the rules outlined in the Caldwell University Undergraduate
Catalog.

UNDERSTANDING THE POLITICAL WORLDWRITING INTENSIVEPAPER ASSIGN

  • 1. UNDERSTANDING THE POLITICAL WORLD WRITING INTENSIVE PAPER ASSIGNMENT In a well-written, concise paper, trace the process of CREATION, MAINTENANCE, and DECAY in ONE (1) of the following systems: 1) The Khmer Rouge (Democratic Kampuchea) 2) The Kingdom of Madagascar. 3) The Republic of Texas. 4) The British in India. 5) The Trujillo regime in the Dominican Republic. If you would like to examine a different system, you must get permission first. It is important to note that I am not looking for an historical account of these systems, i.e., what happened and when. I am looking for an analysis of why. Of course it will be necessary to include historical facts in your analysis, but the focus should be on the process of creation, maintenance, and decay. The following questions can be used as a guide: CREATION: 1) What were the old social facts that no longer worked? 2) What were the human needs and why weren't they being satisfied. 3) By what means were the new institutions established, by revolution, elections, an alliance? MAINTENANCE: 1) What were the institutions that maintained the system?
  • 2. 2) Who controlled them? 3) How were they enforced? DECAY: 1) What led to decay? That is, what was it about the old institutions that led to their failure? 2) What were the new human needs that the old institutions could not meet? The final paper should be typed, double spaced, and between 12-14 pages in length. It must include an introduction, a conclusion, and subtitles. There must be notes where appropriate, a bibliography, and a title page. Try not to fill your bibliography with the same type of source. For example, newspaper articles, weekly magazines such as Time, encyclopedias and the Internet are good for obtaining general background information, but should not be relied upon exclusively. Your main sources should be scholarly, in-depth analytic works. Since many of you may not have written a paper of such length before, the assignment will be broken up into three parts corresponding to the above sections. That is, over the course of the semester you will hand in three 4 page papers dealing with creation, maintenance and decay respectively. In addition, second drafts of each section will also be required. The final paper will thus consist of the following: a title page, an introduction, the creation section, the maintenance section, the decay section, a conclusion and a bibliography. The assignment dates are as follows: Creation: 1st Draft: Monday, 2/10. 2nd Draft: Monday, 2/24. Maintenance: 1st Draft: Monday, 3/16. 2nd Draft: Monday, 3/30.
  • 3. Decay: 1st Draft: Wednesday, 4/8. 2nd Draft: Monday, 4/20. Final paper: Wednesday, 4/29. These deadlines must be adhered to. A half grade deduction (for the entire paper) will be assessed for each deadline missed! And the final paper will not be accepted after 4/29! Although these deadlines must be adhered to, I will continue to accept voluntary drafts of each section even after that section deadline has passed, or, section drafts prior to the respective due dates. I encourage you to hand in as many drafts as possible in addition to the ones required. Plagiarism will be dealt with severely and in accordance with the rules outlined in the Caldwell University Undergraduate Catalog.
