Soft power Concept Paper Final Paper Guidelines
The topic of your final research paper is on the last slide of Module Four lecture
notes.
We started by examining the rise of “soft power” as a concept. But does this
concept still matter in international relations today? If not, what has happened in
America, China, and elsewhere in the past decade that has rendered this concept
obsolete? If your answer is “yes”, then why do you believe that soft power still has
a market in the world today? What can governments and society do to further
enhance its importance? Soft power Concept Paper
When I grade, I will not anticipate ground-breaking argument. What I will be
looking for is solid evidence that you can use concepts learned from readings AND
lecture notes to make sense of real-world events. So, you must make use of these
two resources (readings and lecture notes). Also, your paper needs to have a
binding argument that can connect all the materials together, and the binding
argument needs to be presented in paragraph one.
