Full dissertation title: ‘From Peace Dividend to Legal Contention: The Evolution of Japan’s Article 9 in Postwar Society and International Relations’
You need to write a 12,000-word dissertation. The word limit is 12,000 words (excluding bibliography and footnotes). have written the sources and instructions in another document, which you will see. will also upload the previous draft with the professor’s comments, which you can see directly.
have also uploaded the required format for footnotes and bibliography. Please strictly follow the format indicated. You need to read the “what makes a good essay” document uploaded carefully and follow the instructions.
In general, you need to use critical thinking to analyze through primary sources, rather than just stating history, and don’t let the article look like a news article. For example, the draft uploaded is a quite ‘bad example’ because it looks too much like a news article. Another point to note is that the draft mentions the Russo-Ukrainian War, but you don’t need to write about how it involves the Russo-Ukrainian War because it has no direct relationship with this dissertation as a whole.
