The entire group collectively worked on the writing of each section. Together, we all made an outline for the prompt, providing quotes and thoughts under each section. From there, we divided up who would mostly focus on what section based on the amount of substance provided under each section. 

Stephanie worked on the “Current Issues” and “Policy Recommendations” with Sarah. Stephanie focused on researching the relevant issues in terms of Iran and U.S relations. Here, she focused on using her research to connect these present day issues to arguments made by Schelling and Hammes. Additionally, she researched the NPT, providing a policy recommendation that would expand on the NPT and create a new treaty to hold states accountable. 

Julia worked on the “Expert Opinions” and “Historical Analysis” sections with Jack. She focused on researching Hammes, Nagl and Griffith and wrote up those sections including Lieber, Kier, and Press. She also researched and wrote the Vietnam War section. Additionally, she found and wrote blurbs for some of the images.

Jack worked on the “Expert Opinions” and “Historical Analysis” sections with Julia. Jack also focused on the “Counter-Arguments” section. He researched Cohn, Nagl, Schelling, World War II, Nuclear Deterrence, and what we left out.

Sarah worked on the “Current Issues” and “Policy Recommendations” sections with Stephanie. Sarah focused on researching current issues in terms of cyberwarfare. She also focused on researching the Responsibility to Protect doctrine, to provide policy recommendations to help clear up possible grey areas that surround the doctrine. Sarah also worked with Jack on the “Counter-Argument” section. She focused on researching the problems the U.S. ran into fighting with Fourth Generation Warfare techniques in the Vietnam War.  

All members of the group helped peer edit each section, create and edit citations, as well as helped design the format of the website.
