Length: 2500 words (-/+10%) Description Students are required to choose a current issue in world politics (e.g., security, human rights, gender, global pandemics, climate change, trade) and write a policy paper that engages with the nature, causes and impacts of the problem and suggests policy options to address the challenge.

The possibilities are endless, just make sure that you can clearly identify the problem and offer practical policy recommendations. The task is to clearly outline an issue central to world politics. This means you need to discuss the empirical problem (provide evidence of the problem occurring). You need to conduct research to help you determine how and why your chosen issue constitutes a problem in world politics. Finally, you will need to offer distinct, feasible solutions to the problem. When writing your policy paper there needs to be an assessment of the complexity of the problem you are trying to address. This requires you to consider the potential obstacles to implementation. For example, if you are proposing solutions to a human rights violation you need to consider the broader impact on other human rights norms. Your task is to discuss and assess the pros and cons of your policy suggestions. https://www.oxfam.org/en/research https://politicalscienceguide.com/home/policy-paper/ --my subject-- The war crimes committed by Israel against the people of Gaza as the subject of the policy paper.
