War Become less Common than in the Past

THIS IS AN ARGUEMENTITIVE AND OPINIONATED ESSAY SO I NEED THE WRITES OPINION WRITTEN WITH CIRITCAL THINKING Essay structure: The paper should have a clear introduction (under 1 page), ‘body’ paragraphs laying out your arguments with evidence and analysis (roughly 1-2 pages in length per sub-point), and a conclusion that restates your argument. Write clearly and in straightforward language; let your brilliant ideas shine through. (And yes, edit many times before submission)  Instructions and pointers:  Answer the question of the topic you’ve chosen. Any sentence (or paragraphs) in the paper that is not answering the essay question should be cut. Stay focused. Use at least 2 or max 4 sub-points to make your argument. These essay topics are all some version of a ‘why’ question, so they must have ‘because’-type reasons (see below for examples). This argument (thesis statement) should be written clearly in the introduction and repeated in the conclusion. Take a firm stance on the question; persuade the reader of your argument, but also be humble and show that there is another side (or sides) to your argument. The bulk of your paper (‘body’ paragraphs) should be devoted to your argument and those sub-points, but the best papers include some counterarguments (e.g. statements or ideas countering your argument). Your argument MUST BE FRAMED WITH AT LEAST TWO IR THEORY AND RELATED CONCEPTS, though your essay should also mention at least one other IR theory (especially in the counter-arguments). Your paper should stay at a 5,000 foot level; in other words, you can discuss specific cases, issues or events from history or the news, but the reason for this must be 1) to answer the central essay question and 2) to bolster your argument, which must include at least one IR theory. In other words, don’t get lost in the woods; this paper isn’t about telling the reader everything you know or really getting into specific detail about one particular event in international relations.
