3. Things to keep in mind*

1) Pick a general subject you care about, one you want to explore in your major field.
2) Narrow your topic to a manageable size.
3) Study the areas which are directly and indirectly related to the topic.

- 1 -
 4) Make sure you actually have a thesis, that is, a central argument or hypothesis.
5) Compare your argument with others and show why yours is better in theories, analytical
methods, empirical findings and policy implications.
6) Frame your thesis in several coherent sections with smooth transitions.
7) If you use case studies, explain why you have chosen these particular cases.
8) Explain the limits of any generalizations you develop or test in answering the following
questions:
① What are your research questions?
② Why are they important?
③ What are the existing answers?
④ What are your answers?
⑤ How can you show that you are right and others are wrong?
9) Write and rewrite clearly and succinctly in the active voice, using plain English with quotations
and footnotes.
10) Follow the GSIS thesis format guidelines.

Ⅱ. Guidelines on Thesis Writing

1. Introduction
Writing a thesis is an opportunity to use your knowledge and your learning from your two years at
GSIS on a topic that is of special interest to you. Thesis writing is challenging, deserving high
intellectual commitment and intellectual stamina. Thesis writing goes through different stages, evolving
from your initial choice of subject, finding your resources, your creative and thinking stage, the
organizational stage and then the hard graft ‘writing up’ through to your thesis defense. At the end you
will have written a solid academic document and you will have earned a personal and professional
achievement. Writing a thesis in GSIS is your way of combining all the academic skills you have
learnt at GSIS, and out of this you are writing a piece of very substantial work to be read by fellow
students, academics, researchers, and policy makers. Writing a thesis requires specific academic skills
and these are skills and points of advice to be outlined over the next few pages.

2. Preparation for Thesis Writing

During your first two semesters at GSIS you will already have an idea of the kind of topic you would
like to focus on. A thesis allows you to look at a topic in greater depth and you have a degree of
flexibility with this choice. The choice is yours, but it is always a good idea to choose a topic that
includes the following questions to consider:

1) Ask other students who have completed a thesis about their experience, what were the positive
benefits of writing a thesis, not simply in terms of your degree but also as intellectual
satisfaction and the sense of achievement. Read previous theses in a related area.
2) Ask yourself if the topic you are thinking of choosing is a topic you have already been taught
or a topic you have presented in class. What marks or grades did you get? Can you imagine

- 2 -
 yourself writing on this topic for two semesters? What are your interests in this topic? Keep
asking yourself if will I be interested in this topic this time next year? How can I judge that?
3) Have a look at some basic resources in the library and on the internet. Do some initial research,
read articles, and books, get to know some key books and authors in the field. Familiarity with
key texts and writers even at this stage will give you confidence and save time later on. Assess
what resources are available, and ask yourself if you can see problems accessing information
later on.

When you have decided you want to do a thesis then:

1) Meet and make contact with your supervisor, have a look at your supervisor’s research interests,
check what courses the professor’s teach
2) Begin to make a preliminary list of books and references that you have read during
your courses, books you are reading and references you think you might want to
consider. Remember whenever you find a reference make a note of the author, title of
book or article, page numbers and publishers. This will save a lot of time and anxiety
later on and it is good practice for students wishing to go on and do a Ph. d.

3. Thesis Proposal Stage

1) A thesis requires a hypothesis and research question(s)
2) A thesis requires a title. Make the title clear, no more than 15 words. The title should be
catchy and stand out, but within academic protocol. A general statement then a specific
statement is often good. For example, ‘Critically assessing global politics: a Case Study of …’.
3) A thesis has to be framed and written around a central argument or proposition. This is your
hypothesis or question that your thesis will show and make an argument for or against. This
hypothesis is the central ‘hook’ of your thesis and around which your entire work will be
organized. So spend a lot of time on the hypothesis. As your work progresses you should be
able to summarise the key argument/hypothesis of your thesis in three sentences. You should be
able to explain to someone who doesn’t know the thesis topic what your thesis is in a concise
and understandable way.
4) At this stage, before the proposal is finalized, do not worry if your hypothesis changes and you
change your mind. In fact this is a sign that your thought processes are working well. But at
some time you will have to come down on one side of the argument. Going through the
thought process and being aware of different arguments this will make your thesis defence much
stronger. Remember that thesis writing is often akin to a legal case; you are stating a problem,
identifying ways to approach the problem or issue and defending your case.
5) You will then need to write some research questions such as how, why, what, where and when
questions in order to break down your thesis into manageable parts and basics for your chapter
outlines. Have a look at previous MA theses in GSIS to get an idea what kind of questions are
asked.
6) Your thesis proposal will also require an abstract and a literature review. An abstract is a
summary of your main argument, usually about 200 words. Your thesis proposal needs a short
introduction of the topic, why you want to study the topic and why you need to place your

- 3 -
 thesis within the literature. The purpose of a literature review, is to help you find a gap in the
literature and it is a dynamic process of reflection and rethinking. This gap depends on the kind
of thesis you are writing. There are several types of thesis which are not mutually exclusive:

① Primary research thesis which is filling a quantitative data gap

② Assessing a particular academic debate, placing your thesis within this debate and taking the
debate further or critiquing the terms of the debate.
③ Identifying a theoretical or conceptual gap in the literature
④ Applying empirical examples of theories
⑤ Focusing on critiques of existing policies

7) You then need to write a chapter outline and briefly write a couple of sentences as to what
each chapter is to include and discuss. Most theses have the following chapter structure:
① introduction,
② History of topic,
③ theoretical approaches/models you are going to use,
④ analysis,
⑤ conclusions and recommendations

4. Thesis Writing
Write in precise and straightforward language.
1) Write chapters separately one at a time.
2) In each chapter, keep referencing to your hypothesis and explaining in a couple of paragraphs
at the beginning of each chapter why you are writing this chapter, what you are going to write
in the chapter and how this links to the other chapters and your overall argument of the
thesis. This self referencing is essential to keep the thesis argument consistent and logical. This
is why reading is so important, so you can get an idea of good writing organization so it
becomes second nature to you.
3) Thesis paragraphs should be clearly marked, either an indentation of the first line or a double
space between paragraphs. Paragraphs should be no less than 6 sentences and no more than
twenty. This is not a strict rule but a guide.
4) A thesis has to be seen as a holistic piece of work so the reader in theory opens a random
page and can immediately follow the argument and see how the argument is progressing
5) Your introduction to your thesis and the conclusion to your thesis should be written at the end
so you can make the thesis consistent.
6) Don’t forget to write a contents page with the information of page numbers for each chapter.
7) Remember to check that you have given each chapter a chapter title. Divide chapters into sub
headings to make it easier for the reader, and it will help you organize your thinking.

The classic thesis shape is as follows:

general-specific-general

- 4 -
5. References
1) Referencing: each item must be acknowledged to avoid plagiarism. You can use the Harvard
author date system in the text (Smith, 2010: 20) and then you collect all the references at the
end of the thesis in an alphabetically based bibliography; OR, you can use the footnote method
where you put numbers in the text and then list your sources in footnotes and sequenced in
order they are referenced in your text. Once you make your choice, be consistent.
2) Put the page numbers in at the end of the thesis writing.
3) Quoting:
① direct quotes are word for word quotes. Up to three sentences in direct quotes “…..” in the
normal text margins. Anymore than 3 sentences then direct quotes must be indented and
the indented sentences DO NOT have inverted commas. Remember direct quotes need
author-date AND page number(s). for the Harvard system this comes in the text. For
footnote system this information is in the footnotes
② with indirect referencing use of sources, you summarise an authors argument or statement
IN YOUR OWN WORDS. You do not need quote marks. Indirect quotes only need
author-date
③ If you are quoting a writer but the work is in another book that you are reading then you
must reference the book you are reading with page number information.
④ When you list your references either as footnotes or as a bibliography, your references will
also need publisher information. PLEASE NOTE the Harvard system does not need page
numbers in the bibliography

6. Examples of referencing:

7. General Advice
1) Keep reading your writing as your thesis progresses. Sometimes it’s a good idea to have a
break for a couple of days then go back to the writing and reread. Mix up your rereading of
your work, so for example when you have finished chapter three, then go back and read the

- 5 -
 introduction, and so on. You might be surprised at your reaction, and you might find issues in
the writing that you would like to change.
2) Check all the technical words and definitions to make sure you are using the words in the right
context and in the right way.
3) Time management is important.
① End of Semester 3: thesis proposal/introduction and draft of chapter one and start of two
② Summer break/winter break: reading documents/research, draft chapter two/three
③ Semester 4: completing thesis write-up

There are no rules on how long each chapter should take to write. After all this will depend on the
nature and topic of the chapter and your own experience and knowledge. Remember that we all have
different work and study practices. Talking to your colleagues is useful but you must also work at
your pace in order to get the job done in the most efficient way. Your supervisor will also guide you
and make comments on your progress and the substance of your work. Most of all enjoy your thesis
writing. This is your chance to put all your knowledge together in a substantial piece of internationally
recognised academic work.

[Title] AN ANALYSIS OF THE RELATION BETWEEN THE BUDGET DEFICIT AND

THE CURRENT ACCOUNT DEFICIT AND ITS IMPLICATIONS ON THE
MACROECONOMIC CHALLENGES OF THE REPUBLIC OF GUATEMALA

[Abstract]
The Republic of Guatemala has always experienced deficits in the fiscal management and
in the current account. Under the Twin Deficits Hypothesis the question if these deficits
are related and in some way responsible one of the other arises. The present study aims
to examine if the budget deficit has a direct causal relationship with the current account
deficit. We conducted a descriptive statistical analysis and an empirical analysis to
establish the relationship between these deficits. Using time series econometrics tests for
the period 1960-2006, the empirical results indicate the existence of a long-run
relationship between the deficits, while the Granger-causality test shows the existence of
a uni-directional causal relationship running from the budget deficit to the current account
deficit. Even though in recent years the economic outlook of the country has improved
due to prudent fiscal and monetary policies, new increments in the public debt may
impose additional pressure over these two deficits; therefore, the economic authorities
will have to adopt another kind of policies to stop further deterioration of these deficits.

[Title] International Marriages in South Korea (NGOs' Response in an Age of Globalization)

[Abstract]
Globalization increases all kinds of cross-border flows, including movements of people. With
Globalization, the number of individuals traveling, working or studying aborad is increasing globally.
In recent years, international migration has grown in volume also in South Korea and the number
of international marriages is also increasing and is affecting tremendously South Korean society.

International marriage has been contributing to South Korea economically, socially and culturally.
Through international marriage in South Korea is benefited by an educated but cheap labor force
from peripheral countries. International marriage is also contributing to South Korean society by
providing brides to those marginalized males who are not accepted by South Korean brides due to
several causes or not able to get a bride domestically. Transforming a homogeneous society to a
multicultural society is a major contribution of international marriage to South Korea.

Besides these tremendous contributions, the problems faced by international married women such as
domestic violence, sexual abuse, social and culture discrimination, are hinders to naturalization,
language and adjustment etc. and are blocking fully-fledged contributions. Among all kinds of such
obstacles, Violence against International Married Women(VAIMW) is the most striking one. The
issue of fake or paper marriages is another subject for discussion.

- 21 -
The government of South Korea has tried to handle such problems with its policies and practices of
'multiculturalism' working thorough its agencies. It is also supporting some NGSO to implement its
policies, considering the social nature of the problem. But this 'government led multiculturalism;
cannot overcome the problems. NGOs are providing supports such as culture and career
development, counselling, temporary shelters etc. to the victims of VAIMW. These supports are
also not adequate for eliminating VAIMW. If the NGOs adopt a rights based approach rather than
a philanthropic approach them they can contribute to overcome problems effectively. South Korea
needs an 'alternative multiculturalism' led by NGOs, to wipe-out the obstacles.

[Title] Poverty Reduction in Cameroon by Korea's ODA Policy Frame-work: A Search for a New
Paradigm.

[Abstract]
It is common knowledge that a considerable percent of the world's population still lives below the
poverty line, although mankind has achieved economic prosperity at an unprecedental level.
Sub-Saharan Africa is the region highly affected by poverty. Cameroon is not exempted from this
situation and the need to solicit for an intervention by Korea's ODA is a crucial and sincere plea
and this world obviously be a new paradigm, as Korea's ODA has so far, not yet been directly
extended to Cameroon. It is not uncommon that a country like South Korea that has catapulated
from a similar poverty situation to becoming one of the Asian Tiger would be better placed to
provide reliable solution to poverty reduction in Cameroon. In this thesis, I am interested in
diagnosing both the old and new paradigms of Korea's ODA while suggesting and emphasizing on
the need for a new paradigm by Korea and Cameroon in order to reduce poverty in the latter. The
old paradigm is associated with 'Planner' who emphasize on the need for a 'Big push' as advocated
by Sachs and which Korea's government is virtually adhering and implementing through the
top-down approach. Meanwhile, the 'new paradigm' is associated with practicalities which Easterly
refers to as 'Searchers' and implemented through the bottom-up approach which would make it good
for win-win cooperation between Korea and Cameroon. The significance of the Official Development
Assistance (ODA) is increasingly gaining recognition in the international community as its efforts to
eradicate poverty results not only in the protection of basic human rights, but also in the
construction of a healthy governance system, the spread of democracy within the recipient country,
and ultimately the contribution to world peace. So far, Korea's ODA has strived very well in
achieving the MDGs especially the poverty goal. But much is yet to be done as many Less
Developed countries (LDCs) are still languishing in abject poverty. I would be using an analtic and
descriptive approach to show the nexus between Korea's ODA and the MDGs and making particular
reference to poverty alleviation in Cameroon. Some statistical records are equally provided to
buttress my facts as I wrap up by suggestion that, there should be a significant reduction in the
burden of policy conditionality by 2011 and an ambitious target for demand-led technical assistance
by 2015.

Key word: Poverty Reduction, ODA Korea, MDGs, Capacity building and capacity development,
Planners, Searchers, top-down, bottom-up, tied-aid, new paradigm shift.
