hybrid assignment part analytical book review and part research paper.
The basics are simple. Read the following book:
Thomas Rid. Cyber War Will Not Take Place (Oxford University Press, 2017).
Rids argument is in his title. While many people think the development of cyber weapons computer based forms of attack will fundamentally change the nature of international conflict as much as nuclear weapons had, Rid disagrees.
Your assignment is simple: what do you think? Is Rid right or wrong?
Youll make your argument by researching the issue (using a minimum of ten sources).
That makes this assignment both an analytical book review and a research paper. The analytical part is your assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of Rids argument. Your analysis will be based on the research youve done on the subject.
Your paper will look something like this.
Introduction: Summarize your paper in about a paragraph to a page. Very important (see below on how to write a good Political Science introductory paragraph)
Rids argument: Summarize his ideas in about 2-3 pages.
Why hes right/Why hes wrong: Here youre making your argument. Choose 2-3 issues to focus on. Explain how these issues/arguments support of challenge Rids conclusions. 5-6 pages.
Conclusion: re-summarize your argument and state the implications of it. If Rid is right, then we dont have to worry as much or maybe we have to worry about it in a different way. If Rid is wrong, then are we taking cyber war as seriously as we need to? 1-2 pages.
Your research task is to find good sources (see below) that examine cyber war and cyber-attacks. This is where youll find out what all the arguments are. Scholars and policy makers are debating these issues. Your research will allow you to understand that debate, explain it to me, and make a judgment based on your new expertise. In short, the assignment isnt for you to just logic this out by yourself. There are ongoing debates. Your research is designed for you to show me that you understand what that debate is about. Your citations of other peoples ideas and arguments allow anyone who reads your paper to find out more about all the ideas in your paper. I do want your ideas, but I want to see everyone elses ideas too. Those are the ones youll find in your research and the ones you will cite in your paper.
