SEMINAR GUIDELINES
Seminar Presentation
The aim of the seminars is to 1) expose students to a wide range of topics, data,
research and viewpoints 2) to stimulate thought and discussion on the topic 3) to get
feedback from other students and the tutor 4) to act as a 'low risk' run through of your
paper 5), and 6) to cover subjects in more detail than can be done in the lectures.
Any ideas or areas for improvement which have been pointed out by the lecturer or
other students should be incorporated into the final version of your paper.
A range of seminar topics are briefly indicated in below. You will need to do
individual research to interpret these, using current books, databases, magazines,
papers and academic journals to cover the issues. Do not just rely on general Internet
sources. See the lecturer, tutor or the librarian for help in identifying some of these
resources. Topics not on the list below will need written approval from your
lecturer/tutor in advance. Individualised seminar topics which have not been
approved in advance will not be accepted.
In the presentation, it is best to provide students with a 'base' information sheet,
outlining your topic, the central question, the key facts, and a summary of your
conclusion. Include a bibliography of your sources. You will need to have
prepared some key questions to lead class discussion. You may use power-point,
internet or video sources, overheads, or audio materials. If you are using video, select
short and appropriate film selections. Bearing in mind the time-limits, you may need
to present a slightly shortened version of your fuller, and more detailed seminar paper.
Remember, seminar presentations are a professional engagement. If you have
booked in for a week ensure that you present at that time. If you need to re-book a
time, contact your tutor in advance, but a new time cannot be guaranteed. Material
presented in seminars is an integral part of the subject.

Seminar Paper Guidelines
In the seminar paper, please consider the following general guidelines:
1. Clarity of introduction: key issues and/or hypothesis stated explicitly and
coherently. The structure should be clearly outlined, and related to broader context.
2. Selection of appropriate content: Content should be tightly focused on the question
and linked to support the overall argument, demonstrating an advanced understanding
of key concepts and terms.
3. Quality of argument: Argument should reflect a high level of analysis, and/or
evaluation. It needs to integrate research materials and examples effectively. Should
show an understanding the major assumptions and theories relevant to the paper.
4. Writing and expression: Paragraphs should be linked in a logical fashion, and ideas
expressed clearly. Avoid errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar and sentence
structure. Avoid exact repetition of set phrases (unless technical terms).
5. Effective conclusion: Should demonstrate outcome of research, based on concise
assessment of evidence and arguments given in the paper.
6. Citations and Bibliography: Any standard style acceptable, but needs to cite
materials in body of paper (author/date or footnote method) as well provide
bibliography or list of references at the end. Should demonstrate extensive and
appropriate reading and research.
6. Seminar Topics
NB: Author-date citations refer to the thematic bibliography below. Alternative or
adapted seminar topics can be developed in consultation with your tutor, but formal
approval in advance is required for an individualised topic. (Duplication of
exactly the same topic by different students within the same tutorial is not allowed).
1. Does Russia have unique national and cultural features? Has this shaped
‘special concerns’ in Russia's international relations during the 21st century?
2. Outline sanctions against Russia's and its related economic downturn through
2014-2018. Have these trends influenced Russia's foreign policy?
3. Has Turkmenistan in recent years moved beyond its original foreign policy of
‘positive neutrality’? Critically discuss, noting emerging patterns of
international cooperation.
4. Why has democracy remained fragile in Kyrgyzstan? Critically discuss, noting
trends through 2005-2018
5. To what degree has Russia been able to sustain its own ‘pivot’ towards the
Asia-Pacific? Critically discuss, noting causes and indicators (investment,
trade, diplomatic initiatives) that support such a trend through 2012-2018.
6. Outline ‘authoritarian’ verses ‘liberal democratic’ trends in Central Asia. Are
authoritarian states inherently unstable or prone to leadership succession
crises?
10
7. Outline the ‘pipeline politics’ of Eurasian oil and gas exports over the last
decade. To what degree have Russia and Central Asia been able to diversify
their export routes?
8. Does India have specific foreign policy and economic interests in Central Asia
and Iran? What benefits might flow from such relationships?
9. NATO has intensified cooperation with Ukraine since 2014 but NATO
membership is not likely for the next several years. Why?
10. Geopolitically, ‘the Ukraine crisis was about Russia’s refusal to submit itself
to Atlanticist hegemony and global dominance.’ Critically discuss. If true, how
can these wider tensions be reduced? (Sakwa 2015)
11. Outline the evolution of the concept of ‘Great Power Management’ in
international relations theory. Is this still a useful viewpoint to reduce great
power competition in Eurasian affairs during the 21st century? (See
Makarychev & Morozov 2011 as one starting point)
12. Why has Turkey failed to emerge as a Eurasian ‘middle power’? What key
factors have undermined this process through 2010-2018?
13. Why has Russia become increasingly involved in Syrian affairs through 2013-
2018? Has this given Russia greater influence across the Middle East?
14. Modern Mongolia has often been viewed as trapped between divergent
Russian and Chinese interests. How has Mongolia sought to expand its foreign
affairs and trade policy options over the last decade?
15. What are the security challenges facing China's Xinjiang region? Why is this
area important for the PRC’s strategic and economic planning?
16. Outline the theory of ‘multipolarity’ as favoured in Russian foreign policy.
Does this lead it into a direct clash with US global interests?
17. Outline China’s economic and strategic interests in Central Asia, using
relations with one Central Asian state as a starting point. Should China play a
more active role in ‘stabilising’ the region?
18. Russian made use of ‘self-determination’ principles to support its intervention
in the Crimea through 2014. Who may not be adequately represented in the
Crimea as it is further integrated into the Russian Federation?
19. Outline the ongoing conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which has
continued since 1988 in spite of sustained efforts at international mediation.
Suggest possible paths towards improved relations between these two states.
20. Outline labour and migration flows across Central Asia and Russia over the
last decade, and indicate whether they will be influenced by the Eurasian
Economic Union (EEU). How do these flows impact on human rights, national
identity politics, social tolerance, and border control?
11
21. Outline Russia’s strategic partnership with India. How has this evolved
through 2000-2018? Has this relationship been modified as India intensifies
links with the United States?
23. How has President Putin sought to control political opposition in Russia?
Critically discuss emerging trends through 2011-2018.
24. Has the SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organisation) helped stabilise and
develop Central Asia? Critically discuss, noting strengths and limitations in
the current SCO agenda for one Central Asian state.
25. Outline the progress of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) through 2016-
2018. Is Russia strong enough to sustain and expand the EEU agenda?
26. President Putin and Russian thinkers such as Sergei Karaganov have outlined
the idea of a ‘Greater Eurasia’ project. What are the global implications of this
project? (See Karaganov 2016; Entin & Entina 2016)
27. Why is Tajikistan strategically important? How is its security ‘guaranteed’?
28. Outline the emerging impact of climate change on Russia. What policies has
Russia engaged (nationally and internationally) to deal with these challenges?
29. Outline ongoing economic challenges that have undermined Afghanistan’s
development. What strategies have been initiated by Afghanistan’s
government through 2014-2018 to reduce these problems?
30. ‘Today, Afghanistan remains a divided and fractured state.’ Critically discuss,
outlining the Taliban’s main political, diplomatic and military strategies as
they have evolved through 2016-2018.
31. Outline Georgia’s evolving foreign policy through 2008-2018. Has Georgia
been able to balance Russia’s regional influence by other international
linkages?
32. Profile China-EU economic and political relations over the last decade. Why is
this relationship of particular importance to the PRC?
33. At different times Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan have been viewed as competing
for regional influence in Central Asia. Outline trends since 2006 that have
improved the relations of these two countries. To what degree can these two
countries provide leadership for wider Central Asia?
34. Outline Russia’s efforts over the last decade to cope with terrorism and
militant groups, both within the Caucasus and adjacent regions. Have Russian
strategies been success in reducing this threat in recent years?
35. Are current international tensions concerning the future integration of Eurasia
driven by a clash of value systems? Critically discuss, using examples (See
Lukin 2014 and Sakwa 2015 as starting points).
