A good way to address this requirement is to make direct reference to at least one of the assigned readings and/or the lesson material in each of your required peer responses. You may challenge, support, or supplement another student’s answer using the terms, concepts, and theories from the required readings. Also, do not be afraid to respectfully disagree where you feel appropriate, as this should be part of your analysis process at this academic level.

Stabilistan is one of the largest ODA funders in the world. It channels its funding through StabilAid. StabilAid funds multilateral operations as well as work done by Stabilistani NGOs. Many Stabilistani NGOs are global leaders in their respective fields. One of StabilAid’s flagship funding mechanisms is the Small Agency Action Fund (SAAF). In January 2018, StabilAid issued Guidelines for Applicants, for a new round of grants to NGOs.
Fragilisave (a diaspora organisation in Stabilistan) and DEF (an organisation in Fragiliwest) have jointly prepared a Concept Note. If this Concept Note gets accepted, Fragilisave and DEF will have to produce a more detailed proposal.
Please read the Guidelines for Applicants and the Concept Note, and answer the following questions.
Section 6.1 of the Guidelines for Applicants and Section 1.2 of the Concept Note template stipulate that only Stabilistan-based NGOs are eligible for SAAF grants. Please describe, in no more than 500 words, the advantages and drawbacks of such a restriction. [For context: Stabilistan is a rich donor country, much like the UK.]
Is this concept note based on a rights-based or a needs-based approach? In not more than 500 words, please explain your answer, and assess whether or not this is an appropriate approach to take in the particular context of Fragiliwest. If you are not yet familiar with the rights- and the needs-based approaches, this will require some background reading.
Please strengthen this Concept Note, using Track Changes. You can insert questions, comments, suggestions and additional useful information, if available. Ideally, you go beyond a bit of text editing, and point out inconsistencies and weaknesses, and perhaps fill a few gaps. Do not exceed the length of the Concept Note by more than 1000 words.

Select six online news articles from different sources dealing with material we have covered in this course. For each one, provide a citation or link (not the whole article!) and do all of the following for each one: (1) explain the article, (2) evaluate how or whether the article tries to influence your personal actions or opinion of the subject matter, and (3) explain how the course material clarified your understanding of the article and any attempt that it makes to influence you personally. Your articles should have enough substance to sustain the analysis, so stay away from short blurbs. 

In this assignment, you will focus on specific proposals and methods currently and historically used to resolve the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Organize your paper by the various methods used to resolve the conflict. Under each attempt at conflict resolution, you should identify the various actors involved which may include the United Nations, regional organizations, individuals, specific governments, military alliances, and international NGOs. If the attempt is concluded then explain why it failed. If it is ongoing then provide a current assessment of its effectiveness.  
Technical Requirements
Your paper must be at a minimum of 4-5 pages (the Title and Reference pages do not count towards the minimum limit).
Scholarly and credible references should be used. A good rule of thumb is at least 2 distinct scholarly sources per page of content; however, a minimum of 6-8 scholarly and/or peer-reviewed references are required.
Type in Times New Roman, 12 point and double space.
Students will follow the current Turabian Style as the sole citation and reference style used in written work submitted as part of coursework.  
Points will be deducted for the use of Wikipedia or encyclopedic type sources. 
It is highly advised to utilize books, peer-reviewed journals, articles, archived documents, etc. 

Japan’s strategic role in the South China Sea dispute is a critical component of the complex power struggle and geopolitical dynamics in the region. As a major economic and military power in East Asia, Japan has a vested interest in maintaining stability and security in the South China Sea, which is a crucial waterway for global trade and commerce.
Japan has been a vocal critic of China’s expansive territorial claims in the South China Sea, particularly its construction of artificial islands and military facilities in disputed areas. Japan has also ramped up its own military presence in the region, conducting joint exercises with United States allies and supporting freedom of navigation operations to challenge China’s excessive maritime claims.
In addition to its military stance, Japan has also been actively involved in diplomatic efforts to resolve the South China Sea dispute through multilateral forums such as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the United Nations. Japan has emphasized the importance of upholding international law and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) in addressing territorial disputes in the South China Sea.
Overall, Japan’s strategic role in the South China Sea dispute reflects its commitment to upholding a rules-based international order and promoting peace and stability in the region. By navigating the complex power struggle and geopolitical dynamics in the South China Sea, Japan plays a crucial role in shaping the future of East Asia’s maritime security landscape. 

I was thinking something about the rise of far right in the recent EU elections and how doesit affect minorities or pose threat to migrants human rights from countries in crisis like Palestine or sub saharan africa. i need primary sources, a lit review and a methodology sectionaswell.

my topic suggestions: 
1. How the rise of far right in the EU latest elections poses a threat on safeguarding:
a) environmental standards with EU as the world leader advocate of evironmental preserv.
or b) minorities and migrants human rights living in the EU or future immingrant from countries in need like Palistine or sub saharan Africa
2.Combating Extremism: The Role of the EU’s Digital Services Act in Regulating Anti-Muslim Rhetoric and Christian Fascist Propaganda on Social Media
I am leaning more towards 1.a or 1.b but i’m open to discussion. I need primary research with at least 15 academic sources. Our professor urged us to use cases from the ECTHR or theECj if possible -ckeck websites like hudoc. I have a 3,1 gpa so write in a rather casual way and dont use things like regression models to avoid raising concerns. I would also need somekind of a draft within 10 days
