The Literature Review
The purpose of this assignment is to propose a theoretical perspective that informs your research and assess the scholarly literature that has been written on your research question, including how it informs your research question and hypothesis. It should be 5 pages in length, NOT including the title page and reference page.
Research Question: How should the United
Nations make institutional set-up and decision-making systems more effective
and accountable towards solutions to global problems?
Please rework and revamp this research question, because a research question should look at the relationship between 2 variables, and this research question is a direct question that looks at the relationship between 2 variables.
Content of the literature review:
The literature review should assess (1) which theoretical approach best informs your overall argument and hypothesis (e.g., socialization and interest convergence, liberal institutionalism, structural realism, feminist theory, etc.) and (2) evaluate the findings from the scholarly literature that exists on your research topic.
Structure of the written literature review:
The literature review is NOT an annotated bibliography. Rather, it is an analytical exercise in which you evaluate a body of literature. As such, your literature review should be organized by theme (NOT an article-by-article summary). A good literature review is a thoughtful study of what has been written, a summary of the arguments and findings that exist (whether you agree with them or not) and is arranged thematically. The literature review should be written in a coherent narrative style. At the end of the evaluation, there should still be gaps in the literature that you intend to fill with your research.
Note that a good literature review is not a list of sources with description, but it involves synthesis and dissection of sources, with MINIMAL use of quotes. All references must be cited in Chicago/Turabian format. 10 PEER-REVIEWED sources, including a variety of sources from high-quality journals and juried publications.
Separated The 2-page-written Summary component:
you summarize the main themes, areas of agreement and disagreement among scholars, and any gaps in knowledge that remain that your research can help address.
