THE RESEARCH PAPER PROCESS

Topic Selection

You will need to formally propose (as part of your written prospectus) two political science research topics. Designate your first and second preference. Your topic choice will in all likelihood combine a personal interest on your part with a relevant topic in one of the political science subfields (American politics and government, public policy, public administration, comparative politics, international relations, public law, or political philosophy). A relevant topic may overlap two or more subfields.

The criteria of “relevance” will in part be decided by your instructor, and in part based upon your ability to convince him that a relevant scholarly literature exists with regard to your topic. The key to the successful adoption of a topic, thesis, and overall paper will be your ability to identify a robust, professional literature on your topic.

If you pitch a topic that is highly subjective (you have a clear personal interest and are a true believer in your topic and the conclusion is a done deal before you do any research) it will likely be rejected as too biased. Your senior seminar research paper cannot be some kind of quasi-personal political biography. You are writing a professional political science paper (emphasis upon science), not a personal or ideological advocacy paper or blog, nor an interest group or political party platform or manifesto.
