I am in a UCLA master's program and need help writing a research paper regarding the country Niger. We had to look into recent news and come up with something relevant from the country, and I found that Niger was leaving ECOWAS. I came up with this research question: How does Niger's withdrawal from ECOWAS affect its economy? The paper MUST follow the format that the example I provided is in. Please READ the INSTRUCTIONS that I attached as a file, carefully as there are specific instructions about needing a MINIMUM of 8 PEER-reviewed journals which should be found on Google Scholar (or elsewhere as long as they are PEER-REVIEWED) and then you can have other sources that are not peer-reviewed.  Note: The Introduction should be solely about Niger and follow the instructions that I provided for the situation (Niger leaving ECOWAS and why they are leaving. Background about Niger, and whatever else is asked in the instructions. Can also include general theories for why countries withdraw from international organizations. ***The Literature review should not only include information regarding Nige's withdrawal. Instead, the literature review section should focus on countries IN GENERAL (not just about NIGER) but countries, in general, using past information; one side should be about: Countries withdrawing from international organizations positively impacts their economy. AND one the other side/section should be: Countries withdrawing from international organizations negatively impacts their economy. At the end of each section, you should discuss how this would relate to NIger and relate it to them (positive and negatives for them) **** There is a Title page (which does not count with the page count), a table of contents, an Introduction, and a literature review (which discusses two sides exactly how the example does it. You can say one side is 1. Countries withdrawing from international institutions have positive impacts on their economies. and 2. Countries withdrawing from international institutions have negative impacts on their economies).  For the Theoretical Argument feel free to put whatever you think (whichever side you agree with most). This should be about Niger specifically. So basically the literature review is about using other countries' withdrawals from international organizations' effect on their economy to help with how withdrawing is positive toward their economy and how withdrawing is negative toward their economy. But make sure to bring in Niger into it, as the paper & research question is based around this country  Below is one peer-reviewed journal that I found that is good to use. You will need 7 more of these, remember these can be about countries in general, not just Niger. Also, use more outside sources that don't need to be peer-reviewed (this is where you will find most of the information regarding Niger leaving ECOWAS). I don't know if these will help you, I am just providing them in case they are useful, but you would need to find more on your own.  Peer-reviewed one (I went on Google Scholar and looked up "the cost of withdrawal from international organizations") :  https://www.peio.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Bor... Non-Peer-reviewed journals that may help (not really sure if it is relevant though, just adding it in case. For this I looked up "Niger's investment credibility in light of its withdrawal in ECOWAS”: https://theconversation.com/ecowas-why-withdrawal-... https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/6654...
