Research Paper Presentation: Simple Template By Jeremy Lewis, Huntingdon College Fall 2013

Frame the issue examined Why does one country have X lower than another? Why did one Republican President achieve reelection – but two others failed? Is Alabama really an “emerging” state rather than a traditional one? Why did the South realign between D & R? Did “consociational democracy” bring peace in Northern Ireland – or did it lock in conflict ?

This project will explore… Three Presidents of the same party? Two generations? Four rich countries in the OECD? One war and three theories of why it started? Five states in the period 1928-2008? Whether US troops should pull out of the Korengal valley?
