Here are links
to
some excellent papers submitted to Judaism and Politics when it
was
last offered. They cover a range of topics with very different
approaches but they all share some important similarities that
you
should emulate. Each one offers a clear take on a problem,
relates the
case study to the general themes of the course, and draws on
first-rate
scholarship. They are also well-written and properly documented.
None
of them is perfect, of course, but they are good models. (Note:
All
papers are in Microsoft Word format.)
