The Rivalry Brief

Can cooperation help create a future rival? Investigate John Mearsheimer’s argument about U.S.–China competition and build a short research brief of your own. Follow the evidence, apply the theory to a flashpoint, and decide what you find convincing. You’ll get more guidance when you need it and deeper questions when you’re ready. Your conclusions are yours to defend. Read the article first and keep it open. Allow about 35–40 minutes for the activity.

THE RULES HEARING

Can a broken rule still matter? Test what international norms do when states break them. Then make a commission’s decision. Does a norm matter if a state violates it? In this MUSEBot activity, you’ll work through Tanisha M. Fazal’s argument about power and principle, use constructivist ideas about identity and recognition, and serve on a fictional international commission. You’ll weigh the evidence, examine a double standard, and recommend a response to a border crisis. Before you begin, read Fazal’s “The Power of Principles: What Norms Are Still Good For” and watch both constructivism lectures. Set aside about 40 minutes. Keep the article open; the bot will guide you one question at a time. You’ll need to be signed into Gemini to use the bot.
