Your research question should be stated clearly in the introduction, along with the topic’s importance, background information, primary goals, and a synopsis of your dissertation’s structure.
Select a topic that interests you, addresses a gap in the literature, is practicable in terms of data availability, has academic and practical value, and is pertinent to the political and economic discussions of the day. See your adviser if you need advice.
Common techniques include comparative study across political systems, historical analysis of economic patterns, mixed methods using both quantitative and qualitative techniques (e.g., statistical analysis and econometrics), and case studies and interviews.
Employ reliable sources, triangulate data from several sources, fully record your data collecting and processing procedures, and abide by ethical standards. It’s also critical to be open about any restrictions on the data.
Narrowing your topic, managing data limits, striking a balance between theoretical and empirical study, and time management are common obstacles. Refine your research question, be open about constraints, combine theory and empirical analysis, and develop a comprehensive schedule with doable objectives to overcome difficulties. See your adviser regularly for assistance.
