Microsoft Word - PSCI 150 Fall 2015 -- Paper Assignment
Over the past few months, record numbers of migrants have sought entry into European countries, leading to tensions among European leaders regarding how best to address the growing crisis. At a meeting earlier this week, leaders of European countries failed to reach agreement on a proposal to facilitate the resettlement of migrants. And thus far, efforts to pass a UN Security Council Resolution to combat the smuggling of migrants across the Mediterranean have also failed.
Why have international actors failed to achieve cooperation to address the growing migrant crisis in Europe?
Choose two of the four theoretical perspectives we have discussed in the course thus far: realism, neoliberal institutionalism, constructivism, and domestic political approaches. How would each of these two theoretical perspectives explain the failure to achieve international cooperation on this issue? Which of these two theoretical perspectives do you think provides the most convincing explanation for failure to achieve international cooperation? Why do you find this theoretical perspective more convincing than the other theoretical perspective you considered?
