Should the developed world be responsible for human rights protection in the developing world?
Literature review essay of 2,500 words
Write a literature review on the following question:
“Should the developed world be responsible for human rights protection in the developing world?”
Remember, the essay is an assessment of your literature review skills.
Your reflections are designed to develop critical reading skills and help you learn how to identify what the nuances of the author’ arguments are. Now take this knowledge you have gained from the reflections and apply it more broadly to the essay. You are not to replicate what is in the reflections, but rather to build upon it.
You should:
1. Do a literature search to develop your perception of the debate.
2. Outline the debate. This means demonstrating the various different perspectives that academics have taken when seeking to analyse this question.
3. Identify three key authors whose work is frequently cited in articles that address the debate.
4. Briefly summarise the contributions these key authors are making to the debate. Make sure to paraphrase , rather than use direct quotations, as it will save you words, which you will need for the analysis.
5. Critically analyse the question in light of the authors’ views. Weigh each other against each other. What contributions do they make to the debate, what impediments do they present/reflect?
6. Provide a short comment on where you position yourself in relation to the general debate and the key authors.
