Literature Review Paper Instructions
Overview:
Before you can conduct an analysis of a political leader in a specific context, you must first create a statesmanship framework by which to analyze that leader. This paper requires you to conduct scholarly research on the general idea of statesmanship: its definition, its attributes, how those attributes compare to pseudo-statesmanship, and how the political leaders we have discussed in the course demonstrate statesmanship via decisions and actions. This paper will serve as a building block to your final paper.
This paper should be 5–7 pages (excluding the title page, and references) and contain a list of at least 12 scholarly sources as well as all of the the Reading & Study materials and Scripture. The paper must be formatted in Turabian.
