### "Guidelines for Writing an Analytic Paper: Understanding Variables and Treaty Influences" ###

This guide provides essential insights into crafting an analytic paper, focusing on crucial components including defining your dependent variable (DV), identifying conceptual variables, and exploring independent variables (IVs). It discusses elements like treaty and non-treaty variables while examining nuances across member countries. The structure of the paper encompasses an introduction, theoretical background, case selection, analysis, and conclusions. It also addresses common data challenges, including gaps, inaccuracies, and alternative explanations, providing a comprehensive framework for students and researchers. ###

Presentation Transcript

  1. Writing an ANALYTIC paper

  2. Basics • What is your DV? • Conceptual variable? • Proxy for this conceptual variable? • What are alleged IVs? • Non-treaty variables? • Treaty variables? • General – membership, area regulated, species • Features – sanctions, monitoring, financing • Differences across membercountries? • What’s the causal STORY of HOW treaty influenced behavior?

  3. Structure • Intro • Definitions/background • Theory section • Case selection • Analysis • Generalizations • Conclusion

  4. Questions • Data problems – short time periods • Big data gaps – countries / years • Number of DVs? Imports/exports/generation • How to assess an argument’s quality? • Comparative data from another treaty? • Inaccuracies, caveats, holes in data, flaws in argument? • Adjudicating between multiple Ivs • Outliers

  5. More questions • Other data? • Alternative explanations/rival hypotheses?
