Northern Ireland Conflict Border Issues
A PROPOSAL: for Capstone Project
Research Topic: Northern Ireland Conflict: I am interested in identifying the border issues in the aftermath of Brexit by the United Kingdom and how it would affects Northern Ireland, UK, EU and Republic of Ireland and other EU members. This should reference the hard border/soft border, backstop, security, trade and travel in Northern Ireland.
Use ONE Conflict Analysis Tool and 2-3 Conflict Resolution Theories and Models listed below to illustrate your point.
The final paper will be 10-12 pages (including references) that will focus on your analysis of a conflict related to Northern Ireland Border Issues (UK, EU, Republic of Ireland, hard border/soft border, backstop, security, trade, tariffs and travel) as stated above. You will use at least one conflict analysis tool that you have learned (USE ANY CONFLICT ANALYSIS TOOSL: CONFLICT MAPPING, CONFLICT TREE, MARSLOW HEIRARCHY, Coordinated Management of Meaning (CMM): LUUUTT Model, Daisy Model, The Serpentine Model) AND 2-3 theories from the theories below to interpret the conflict analysis. You will also illustrate your deep understanding of the conflict situation by representing multiple stakeholder perspectives. You will then make logical recommendations based on your conflict analysis.
Papers should be double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12 pt. font. All work needs to be cited using proper APA formatting.

Participants: Stakeholders
Theories:
Methods: Qualitative Research Method: The research will be conducted using the Case Study. Primary data collection will consist of reviewing third-person reporting, i.e., books, other case studies, news and magazine reporting, articles, national archives etc. (The New York Times, The Washington Post, Time, and Fortune Magazine, Irish Times etc.) and archived videos.
Data Analysis:
The primary tools for data analysis will be those from the Coordinated Management of Meaning (CMM) perspective. (THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE) You may use any data analysis tools that best fits your data.
Results: Example below:
What drove and inflamed conflict, entrenched people into positions, and reinforced the primacy of the conflict.
Emotions, especially around security and fear of change, were mismanaged.

Rubric for the Paper:
Application of Conflict Analysis Tool:
Student has chosen appropriate tool and demonstrates exceptional use of tool in analysis. Student draws out new insights to conflict situation as a result of this application. Student demonstrates high degree of critical thinking.
Application of Theories:
Student has chosen 2-3 theories that progress his/her analysis and develop a new or deeper understanding of the conflict. The theories uplift salient points of the data and allow for sensible organization of data. The theories complement one other.
Representation of Multiple Stakeholder Perspectives:
Student has demonstrated great familiarity with the conflict situation by articulating stakeholder interests, values, and needs. The conflict analysis is enriched by this deep awareness.
Quality of Overall Recommendations:
Students recommendations flow logically from the conflict analysis. Student is able to leverage deep understanding of the conflict situation to present plausible recommendations. Student recommendation takes into consideration relevant structures, actors, and dynamics.
