Research Question Comment by Angela Parham: I would suggest only one question. · What has caused the resurgence of nationalism? · What has been the role of international institutions in precipitating the increasing nationalist sentiment in the society? · How can the international community manage nationalism? Hypothesis The resurgence of nationalism is due to trade agreements and international partnerships that have continued to centralize decision-making authority among a few people who are separated from the electorate. Neoliberalism has created economic growth and prosperity around the world. However, it has failed to promote inclusive growth. Consequently, containing nationalism requires a restructuring of the global economic system to distribute wealth and opportunities more equally across different social groups. Comment by Angela Parham: Your hypothesis should be something that you can actually test, what's called a testable hypothesis. In other words, you need to be able to measure both "what you do" and "what will happen." Most of the time a hypothesis is written like this: "If _____[I do this] _____, then _____[this]_____ will happen." Your hypothesis should always explain what you expect to happen during the course of your research. Data collection Qualitative research will be used in this study due to the need to synthesize existing literature on the subject and the perspectives of stakeholders in the society. The exploratory research approach will enable the researcher to find effective answers for the research questions (Jamshed, 2014). In particular, it will highlight the underlying reasons, motivations and causes of the rise in the nationalist movement in the modern society. Qualitative research is used to identify trends in thought and phenomena (Jamshed, 2014). Survey research and focus groups will be used to collect data on the subject. The survey research will include both semi-structured and structured questions that will be administered online. Purposive sampling will be used to ensure that the participants are drawn from different social groups. In addition, focus groups will be used to have an in-depth discussion with different stakeholders on the rise of nationalism. The data that will be collected will be analyzed in conjunction with the existing literature (Jamshed, 2014). The approach will enable the researcher to contextualize the insights that will be drawn from the data collection process. Comment by Angela Parham: You will need IRB approval to do this. ...
