HARP 234 Hot Topics, Hot Issues, and Hot Spots Professor Mark E. Reisinger Research Paper Bibliography Assignment Due Date: March 14, 2018 Prepare a bibliography of sources, which may be useful for examining your proposed research topic. Your bibliography should contain the following parts: 1. A short (2-3 paragraphs) summary of your topic and your research or bibliographic objectives. 2. Five (5) sources of information described in detail. Give a full citation* and a paragraph describing the contents of the source (a précis) and its usefulness for your proposed topic. This requirement presupposes that you have actually obtained the source, read it, and thought about its relevance. 3. Five to ten (5 - 10) additional sources, with full citations and a one or two line description of their possible usefulness. Format: The bibliography should be typed or word-processed, double-spaced. Please submit your bibliography assignment to Blackboard. * A full citation includes: Complete author's name. Year of publication. Title. For a book: Place of publication. Publisher. For a journal article: Journal title. Volume number. Page numbers. LOCATING BIBLIOGRAPHIC RESOURCES There are at least five major sources, which will be useful in compiling the bibliography for your paper. They are listed below in order of importance. 1. Follow up references in the back of books and articles you have already read. Determine which authors seem to have written articles or books relevant to your research interests. Find these books and articles; read them; look at their bibliographies; see what other relevant works the author has written and what ones he or she cites. 2. Find other works by the same author or authors. Look in the standard bibliographic indexes for geography for the topic of interest. 3. Find reviews of the literature in your field of interest. 4. If you have exhausted the reference, author name, and review of the literature searches suggested above, then do a search under your topic or keyword. The first place to look is one of the library’s electronic databases such as Carl Uncover, EBSCO, Lexis-Nexis, etc. 5. Explore the related links given in the Term Project/Paper handout APPROACHING THE LITERATURE The best way of searching through bibliographic indexes to locate a body of literature on a topic is to begin with 4-5 major articles on that topic, and to follow the authors and their citations through the bibliographic sources, as discussed above. However, it may happen that you don't have those 4-5 major articles, so you pick a topic, search through the bibliographic sources for articles on it, and end up with a list of 1000 citations. What do you do then? 1. First, search your list of citations for those which appear to be review articles. The problem with a list of citations generated by a bibliographic source is that it is completely unorganized. Any review articles you find will give you a clue as to which topics or questions those who work in the field find most, or least challenging, what kinds of data and methods of analysis are most frequently employed in responding to those questions, and who are the principal authors of work on the topic. You need not accept this organization of the topic as your own, but you must be aware of what it is. 2. Separate out publications which appear to be government documents. These may provide excellent data; they won't necessarily identify the major questions addressed in the literature. 3. Divide the rest of the citations into those published in a) good journals and b) other journals. Since geography is such a broad discipline, it is often necessary to investigate the literature of other disciplines and this may take you into unfamiliar territory. Start with the “good” geography journals and determine the publications and authors that seem to be cited most often. A partial list of geography journals and websites follows: a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. i. j. k. l. m. n. o. p. q. r. s. t. u. Annals of the Association of American Geographers Professional Geographer Area American Demographics Cities Regional Studies Economic Geography Journal of Regional Science Environment and Planning A Growth and Change Canadian Geographer Urban Geography Urban History Regional Science and Urban Economics Globalization and World Cities website: http://www.lboro.ac.uk/gawc/ United Nations Center for Human Settlements http://www.unchs.org The World Bank http://www.worldbank.org/html/fpd/urban/ Population Studies Demography Population and Development Review Population v. Population Bulletin w. International Family Planning Perspectives x. Journal of Population Economics y. Population and Environment z. Public Health Reports aa. Environment and Planning D – Society and Space bb. Development & Change cc. European Journal of Population dd. International Journal of Urban & Regional Research ee. International Migration Review ff. Journal of Marketing Research gg. Papers in Regional Science hh. Population Index ii. Population Research & Policy Review jj. Population Studies – A Journal of Demography kk. Urban Affairs Review ll. Urban Studies In your review of the literature, concentrate on the citations which appear under a) and ignore those under b) unless one of the latter citations appears to match your topic exactly. 4. Finally, put all the citations back into one pile, and search this pile for authors whose names appear repeatedly. They are likely to be the major scholars of the topic. Running head: RESEARCH PROPOSAL ON THE SUBMERGENCE OF MALDIVE A Research Proposal on the Submergence of the Maldives Student’s Name University Affiliation RESEARCH PROPOSAL ON THE SUBMERGENCE OF MALDIVE 2 Summary My topic is the contribution of global warming to the submergence of the Maldives. A research on this topic is not only timely but also necessary given the recent hurricanes that hit Texas, United States. My choice of Maldives for the study is based on the observation that a vast majority of the catastrophic consequences of global warming are felt along the coastal regions. I will use both secondary and primary data sources. In particular, population census reports and field observation will be my primary data sources. Secondary sources will include published case studies and peer reviews. The collected data will be analyzed with the help of both quantitative and qualitative techniques such as content analysis and correlation analysis. Theoretical Basis for The Project The question I want to address in this paper is, can global warming cause the submergence of the Maldives and the subsequent displacement of its people? Although there are other factors that may cause the submergence Maldives, I expect to find that global warming is responsible for the submergence of the Maldives and the subsequent displacement of its people. I expect to validate this predicted finding because I firmly believe that global warming causes climate change. I view, the submergence of the Maldives is feasible because of the rising sea water levels. Besides, I am utterly convinced that global warming causes the rise in atmospheric temperatures that trigger the melting of ice on high mountains. The molten ice finally finds its way into the Indian Ocean, thereby causing the rise in sea water level. I find this topic interesting because coastal regions are prone to tsunamis, yet people enjoy the sandy beaches at the coastal islands. The Most Relevant Literature I find the following literature relevant to my topic. RESEARCH PROPOSAL ON THE SUBMERGENCE OF MALDIVE • 3 Gagain, M. (2012). Climate change, sea level rise, and artificial islands: Saving the Maldives' statehood and maritime claims through the constitution of the oceans • Hirsch, E. (2015). “It won't be any good to have democracy if we don’t have a country”: Climate change and the politics of synecdoche in the Maldives • Kench, P. S., McLean, R. F., & Nichol, S. L. (2005). New model of reef-island evolution: Maldives, Indian Ocean • Kothari, U. (2014). Political discourses of climate change and migration: Resettlement policies in the Maldives • Malatesta, S., & di Friedberg, M. S. (2017). Environmental policy and climate change vulnerability in the Maldives: from the'lexicon of risk'to social response to change • Pijpe, J., Voogt, A., Oven, M., Henneman, P., Gaag, K. J., Kayser, M., & Knijff, P. (2013). Indian Ocean crossroads: human genetic origin and population structure in the Maldives • Sovacool, B. K. (2012). Expert views of climate change adaptation in the Maldives • Sovacool, B. K. (2012). Perceptions of climate change risks and resilient island planning in the Maldives • Quinn, N. J., & Zahir, H. (2013). Assessment of coral cover on Maldivian reefs after the 1998 bleaching event and 2004 tsunami • Sovacool, B. K. (2011). Hard and soft paths for climate change adaptation Data Type The types of data I would expect to use for my research largely depends on the topic. I would require quantitative data to assess the possible submergence of the Maldives and the impending catastrophic consequences of global warming on the submergence and displacement of the Maldives inhabitants. Survey and ethnographic fieldworks are likely to assist me in gathering RESEARCH PROPOSAL ON THE SUBMERGENCE OF MALDIVE 4 quantitative data for the proposed research. I will be interested in the environmental condition of the Maldives as well as the climatic changes in the Island. Besides, data on the size of the Maldives population and its demographic characteristics are expected to give a rough estimate of the magnitude of the damage by a potential submergence. The problems I may encounter researching the topic include vagaries of nature, rejection by the locals, and lack of cooperation from the relevant authorities. I may drown in the Indian Ocean, the locals may be apprehensive about my presence during ethnographic fieldwork, and the authorities may conceal the most crucial population data. Contribution of the Results The importance of the analysis and bibliography in understanding the submergence of the Maldives cannot be overstated. Foremost, the analysis will reveal the relationship between climate change and the rise in sea level in the Maldives. This connection will further the understanding of global warming implications to climate change and thus, its role in the rise of sea water level. The analysis will also highlight the perceptions and perspectives on climate change in the coastal islands of Maldives. These viewpoints and perceptions will shed more light on why global warming is a thorny issue in the flesh of the people of Maldives. Additionally, the population and environmental analysis will underscore the role of climate change politics and policy discourses in the expected submergence of the Maldives. Global warming is a serious environmental issue in the world today and global environmental bodies are seeking the most appropriate and amicable solutions to global warming. In this respect, the selected previous studies and the analysis of the results will contribute to the understanding of a problem that the world is currently grappling with of global warming.
