Before you begin this assignment, review the course materials from the first three weeks of class with a special focus on the three mainstream theoretical perspectives: realism, liberalism, and constructivism. pay particular attention to the definition of each and avoid pairing them with domestic perceptions of conservatives, liberals, etc. Unlike the Week Two Discussions where you had the freedom to include outside sources, you must incorporate the course-assigned texts only to explain IR theories. I suggest that you review the Wilkinson chapter, assigned in week two. For the event, try to use our online library and its wealth of resources.
