In a paper of eight to twelve double-spaced pages in length, use a rationalist-functionalist approach to
\nexamine institutional design within a post-World War II international regime (e.g., the nuclear
\nnonproliferation regime), observing at least two specific cases within the regime (e.g., Seabed Arms
\nControl Treaty, 1971\u2013present and International Court of Justice, 1945\u2013present).
\n1
\nBegin this assignment by selecting [i] the regime (i.e., issue area) you will be studying and [ii] the cases
\n(i.e., specific treaty(-ies), organization(s), UN organ(s) or agency(-ies)) you will be observing. Note that the
\ncase specification must include the period of time during which you will be observing institutional
\nstructures within the regime (see above).
\n2 Plan ahead in selecting your cases, since in your second paper
\nyou will be observing the functioning of the institutions you have selected within [iii] a specific case of
\ninterstate interaction (e.g., dispute between the United Kingdom and the Marshall Islands, 2014\u20132016).
\nBegin your analysis by [1] identifying and coding the problem condition (i.e., values on the independent
\nvariable) by observing the set of cooperation problems that the treaty(-ies), organization(s), organ(s), or
\nagency(-ies) would be designed to address (see Rittberger et al. 2019: 30). Then, assuming the actors that
\ncreated the treaty, organization, organ, or agency were rational, generate hypotheses predicting [2a] the
\nexpected functions (i.e., the causal mechanism) of institutional arrangements designed to address such
\nproblems and [2b] the corresponding institutional design features (i.e., values on the dependent
\nvariable, such as \u201chigh\u201d or \u201clow\u201d) that would provide such functions (considering both formalization and
\nlegalization). Finally, [3] evaluate your hypotheses by coding observed institutional design features
\n(i.e., values on the dependent variable) and [4] assessing the manner and extent to which the
\ninstitutional arrangements you have selected were designed to function in the manner that you have
\npredicted. In other words, compare expected (i.e. hypothesized) and observed institutional design features
\nas a means of evaluating rational design hypotheses, using evidence from the case. To the extent that
\nexpected and observed design features align, there is evidence in support of the rationalist-functionalist
\napproach. To the extent that they do not align, [5] consider the discrepancy and what might account for it,
\nincluding alternative theoretical approaches such as realism and\/or constructivism.
\nYour analysis should be developed thoroughly, presented clearly, and supported by appropriate references
\nto the assigned readings and other sources. Draw upon assigned readings (explicitly and extensively) to
\nstructure your analysis and use outside research to provide evidence needed to evaluate your
\nhypotheses. Ci Your paper
\nmust be submitted in a serif font (such as Times New Roman) of size 11 or 12 with 1\u201d margins on all sides
\nand a page number on each page. The paper should be submitted via email as a Microsoft Word document
\n(.docx). The filename of the electronic version must include the name of the student submitting it.  <\/p>\n
