compare and contrast two articles

Order Description

This first assignment has a length of 1000 words and is worth 15% of your final mark. It should take you about 15 hours to research and write up this assignment if you anticipate keeping up with your regular class readings. This allocation of time includes reading the articles, organizing your thoughts, establishing an essay outline, writing a first draft, and then reviewing and redrafting the text. Remember that good essays require advance preparation and planning; last minute creations can be ’inspired’, but they often lack rigour and attention to detail. Keep these simple truths in mind as you plan out your essay.

The due date for the essay is 11.55pm on Friday October 2nd, and the essay will not be accepted for marking after 11.55pm on Monday October 12th. Late essays are penalized at a rate of 3% per day without an extension. Only the course director can grant extensions, which have to be supported by appropriate documentation. All essays are to be deposited in the cuLearn ‘drop-box’ for this assignment.

You are to compare and contrast any two of these classic IPE articles in terms of which author’s general approach to IPE you find to be more persuasive, and why you think this is the case:

Robert Gilpin, “The Politics of Transnational Economic Relations,” International Organization, Vol. 25, no.3 (Summer 1971): 398-419.

Robert Cox, “Social Forces, States and World Orders: beyond international
relations theory,” Millennium, Vol. 10, no.2 (Summer 1981), pp. 126-55.

John G. Ruggie, “International Regimes, Transactions and Change: embedded liberalism in the postwar economic order,” International Organization, Vol. 36, no. 2 (1982): 379-415.

Susan Strange, “The Persistent Myth of Lost Hegemony”, International
Organization, Vol. 41, no.4 (Autumn 1987), pp. 551-74.

You are not expected to undertake any further reading than the articles in question. Your main task is to communicate the following to the reader of your essay:

• that you understand the main arguments raised by each author
• that you can compare their strengths and weaknesses
• that you can assess these strengths and weaknesses
• that you can determine which author has the superior approach to IPE, and why

Your essay will be marked against how well you meet the following criteria, which can range from unsatisfactory to excellent:

• familiarity with the articles in question
• organization and structure of the essay
• clarity and sophistication of your assessment
• clarity and sophistication of your argument
• adequacy of syntax, grammar and spelling

Arriving at an appropriate mark is an amalgam of how well you meet all of these benchmarks, however the first four criteria are the most important.
