Security sector reform and post-conflict reconstruction in Afghanistan
Order Description
Dissertation Proposal
Title: Security sector reform and post-conflict reconstruction in Afghanistan (I have created this title myself, feel free to change and amend it for the better and more clear and specific one).
Write a dissertation proposal of 2,000 words on a topic of your choice. Your proposal should include the following (indicated word counts are meant only as a guide).
Title: This should be short and explanatory
Introduction: a concise introduction that ’sets the scene’ for the research problem you are addressing (approx. 200 words)
Research Context (literature/theoretical context): a critical review of relevant literature. Your proposal should contain a clear rationale for your research. What is the current state of debate in the academic literature on your topic? What are the different perspectives? What is the gap that needs to be filled or problem to be solved? This section should help justify why this research is needed. This discussion should be placed within the context of existing research. This section should help generate your research aim and objectives (or questions) (approx. 1,100 words)
Aim and objectives (these can be phrased as research questions if you prefer). You will need to provide one clear and succinct aim and several objectives that relate to your aim. It is important that the aim and objectives be realistic regarding what can be achieved during the research. There is no need to have a research aim, objectives and questions (approx. 100-200 words)
Methodology and Analysis: This should describe your proposed research methodology and methods of data collection and provide a justification for their use in the context of the issues to be addressed in the dissertation (aim and objectives should support the methodology). It should be clear what frameworks and/or conceptual literature will be used to analyse your data. It should demonstrate what analysis you will carry out for each of the research objectives (or sub-research questions). This section can empirically introduce the case study as well. Any limitations of the study should be highlighted (approx. 500 words)
Timetable: This should outline key activities (and estimated completion dates) for completing your dissertation by the submission date. The timetable should specify each of the dissertation chapters and briefly what they will include. This should be presented in a Gantt Chart (word count excludes Gantt Chart).
References (word count excludes references)
There are no specific dates needed for the time-line. For data collection it will be better to use secondary research.The full dissertation will be 12,000 -15 000 words. For the Gantt Chart I can pay additional payment since it is excluded from the word count, just inform me once you calculate the price.
