Does democratization promote peace and American security? is the democratic peace a law of politics or an historical accident? does the united states have a duty to protect democracy around the world? what role do procedural restraints and normative influences play in the democratic peace? as more countries become democratic should we expect a decline in the incident of war?
Make sure to back your argument using hard facts.
I expect the writing assignment to have:
(1) A clear introduction that addresses directly the question posed by the instructor;
(2) A body of factual examples that support your thesis; these examples may be drawn from either the assigned readings or footnoted sources researched independently by the student; Wikipedia is not an appropriate source for academic essays;
(3) A coherent paragraph structure that highlights your main points; and
(4) Appropriate citations for materials drawn from the works of others; plagiarized threads will be penalized.
the Discussion posting should be approximately 400-600 words in length. Long, rambling, unfocused messages discourage readership and suggest fuzzy thinking. It is more difficult to express ideas in short essays than in long ones.
