Assignment 4:

Overview

Assignment 4 is the fourth and final stage of your four-part assignment for GGRA02. In this stage, you are required to develop a research paper related to the initial topic/text you have elected to examine. For details on how to write a research paper see the material available in the ‘Writing a Course Paper’ folder available under the ‘Academic Skills: Resources’ folder on Blackboard (under ‘Course Materials’).

Detailed Instructions

On the basis of the previous assignments – the Critical Reflection, Research Proposal and the Peer Review exercise – and further research, provide a coherently argued, solidly documented and clearly organized argument related to the research material you have compiled.

The research paper must be based on a detailed engagement with the non-academic sources you have carefully chosen and a minimum of 5 substantial academic sources, two of which must be from the Required Readings and three from outside sources.

Make sure to read materials carefully and use concepts precisely. Do not forget to define, with references, the key terms in your paper (examples: globalization, space, place, relationality, core, periphery). The meaning of these terms can vary and influence how you approach the research topic.

Paper length: 5-6 pages (Approximately 1500-1750 words).

Ensure that your paper is properly referenced following the APA format.
