What arguments/debate does this address? • Main body: cite your evidence for and against. • Be even-handed: consider both sides of the argument before you come to your conclusion. • Conclusion: come back to and answer the question! • Introduce all individuals, actors or eye-witnesses with full name and function. • Avoid naming scholars let alone quoting them in the text unless you intend to disagree with them. • Instead, you can show your debt to their ideas by: • Using footnote references • Thus it is unnecessary to name authors of academic works in the text, and the text become more factual and readable! • Example : Instead of: Howard has theorised the transformation of social behaviour by the arrival of nuclear weapons (Howard 1993: 47). Write: Historian Michael Howard has argued that with the arrival of nuclear weapons, it has become more difficult than before to reach consensus within society on how to configure its defence posture. 1 This may be true for the United Kingdom, but it is certainly not true for France where a consensus on nuclear deterrence was established by 1974 … _______________ 1) Michael Howard: The Lessons of History (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991, ppb. 1993), p. 47.
