Guidance on how the United States should apply the IOPs:
I am looking for recommendations on how the instruments of national power should be used. Do not spend too much time describing the issue; focus your efforts on recommendations. The best recommendations are ones that are clear, concrete, and as specific as possible. The recommendations should be accompanied by reasons for each recommendation. This helps to demonstrate your understanding of the issues.
The paper must also have these elements accomplished:
• Have I demonstrated adequate justification for each recommendation?
• Have I integrated my recommendations?
• Have I applied my chosen IR perspective(s) consistently in my recommendations?
Word count: minimum 1,500, maximum 2,000 (approximately 5 to 7 pages).
