Pick one country that has experienced (or is currently experiencing) a revolution
and analyze its significance for the national security of the United States. Make
sure, you have an argument that you support with evidence from at least 4
articles/books you find useful for your research.
In writing your paper, include the following components:
- Identify the country you will write about
- State the reasons leading up to the revolution – do not just describe what
happened, explain how and why it did
- Outline the US involvement in the country before the revolution – why
and how has this country been important to the US, in terms of national
security
- Identify any threats that the country’s turbulence now or subsequent
government regime can pose to the national security of the US
- Argue why they are significant (or not)
- Prescribe US foreign policy towards that country based on different
government regimes/outcomes – how should the US structure its foreign
policy towards this country from now on and why?
Remember – you are making an argument so always try and explain how
and why!
