Even students capable of writing excellent essays still find their first major political science research paper an intimidating experience.

Writing a Research Paper in Political Sciencebreaks down the research paper into its constituent parts and shows students what they need to do at each stage to successfully complete each component until the paper is finished. Practical summaries, recipes for success, worksheets, exercises, and a series of handy checklists make this a must-have supplement for any writing-intensive political science course., Even students capable of writing excellent essays still find their first major political science research paper an intimidating experience.
