Eritrean-Ethiopian War (Badme Border Dispute, 1998-2000)

Your main aim is to explain (causal interpretation) the outbreak of the Eritrean ? Ethiopian War (Badme border dispute, 1998-2000). The paper should focus on the causes of the war, Hence, within your paper you must systematically explore and compare the degree to which individual-, social-, political-and international-level factors can explain the outbreak of the conflict. In most cases you will do a comprehensive analysis of the overall causes of the war. At the very end of your paper, I want you to provide a brief discussion about how the causes of the war relate to interstate behavior, internal and external threats, and sociopolitical motivations as well as reflect on the question of how the causes of this war relate to the causes of the other wars. This paper is not a book or article review. I want to emphasize that although your main aim is to provide a causal interpretation of the outbreak of the war. It is a piece of historical research that must be well grounded in and supported by the available historical evidence. This requires extensive research ?you must include a list of sources that you have consulted. The paper must be analytically focused to help explain the outbreak of the war. The paper must include an evaluation of the relative importance of different causal factors at different levels of analysis in the processes leading to the outbreak and escalation of the war. I do not want a laundry list often or more causes of the war (thus the causes cannot exceed nine causes). You need to prioritize among the many causes, and identify primary and secondary causes of the war. As well as provide a detailed and well-thought out explanation to rationalize your reasoning of each cause. In addition, consider how the causes correlate and influence each other. Your paper will be graded on its organization (i.e., the systematic advancement of an argument), grammar, use of evidence, and analysis. Every page must represent a section Ex: 1.Section One: Introduction: answer the question why is it the important to understanding the causes of the onset of conflict. Specifically, address the importance of understanding interstate conflicts in the 21stcentury. 2.Section Two: Discuss the importance of understanding this conflict. 3.Section Three: Discuss the primary parties involved in the conflict (who are the parties, what do the parties want, and what is the past relationship of the parties) and provide information about the location of the conflict. 4.Section Four: Explain the specific (not general) causes of the war. Systematically explore and compare the degree to which the possible individual-, social-, political-and international-level factors explain the outbreak of the conflict. Make sure your assumption of the causes are grounded in and supported by the available evidence. 5.Section Five: Discuss the plausible, logical relationships between the causes to the onset of the conflict. Identify the primary and secondary causes of the war and explain how they helped bring the war about. Create graphics (figures and/or tables) to present your results. 6.Section Six: Provide a brief discussion about how the causes of the war relate to interstate behavior, internal and external threats, and sociopolitical motivations. 7.Section Seven: Discuss how the causes the war relate to the causes of the other wars. 8.Section Eight: Conclusion: put your result into context: summarize concisely, and describe how your findings advance the field-make sure you do not overemphasize the impact of your work
