Description
Within INTL 621 you are required to develop a literature review. In this case, it should relate to
the issue you identified in your White Paper Assignment.
A literature review sets the context for a subject by explaining what others have found in
researching the same or similar issues. It is written in a narrative format.
Title Page. Ensure you include your title, student name, date of submission.
Introductory Paragraph. A literature review begins with an introductory paragraph in which
the writer frames the research topic and its significance, and the puzzle that the researcher is
addressing. To do that, the writer will summarize the major relevant arguments on the research
subject, highlighting the main issues and how schools of thought might differ. If there are key
terms to be defined, the writer should do that here. (1 page).
Body. The body of the literature review tells readers what others have found in their studies
about your specific research question (the extent of existing knowledge on your specific research
question), critiques what is right or wrong with these other studies, and discusses how the work
is distinguishable from the research study you are proposing. Your review should organize
material by theme or method or what makes sense for the project. This literature review should
include a critical review of 10-15 appropriate articles, to include scholarly, peer-reviewed
articles, material from government publications and websites, or other topic-appropriate source.
Provide citations for the ideas of different authors. You may use parenthetical citations or
footnotes. If you use parenthetical citations (Author Date) in the text, use “References” format
for the complete citations at the end of the assignment (4-6 pages).
Conclusion
. The conclusion should summarize the primary “sense of the literature”,
encapsulating for the reader where the existing literature ends and your research will start as you
seek to answer the question that still remains and add to the body of knowledge. (1 page)
References. Provide a List of References (or Bibliography if you used notes) in Turabian format.
Complete citations for the articles and sources you used in your literature review.
