Hello all, This is the first time i'm posting here, so be nice please. I got a question, I'm working on my undergraduate dissertation in International relations and I think I got a good topic, at least that is what my academical adviser told me. I was nice and confident about it and he told me to start off with the literature review. And this is where I stalled and crashed. Since my dissertation is 99% based on secondary sources (AKA academic literature) wont reviewing the literature in the beginning completely rob me of arguments as I progress? My topic is "How has Islamic ideology really affected Turkish foreign policy?". There are many academic sources talking about this, so writing a literature review should be easy. The problem is that I was going to use those sources to make and counter arguments as I progressed. I don't know, I'm a bit confused. My adviser told me that I could talk in the literature review about the wider debate on whether or not political Islam affects a Muslim country's foreign policy and how. Does it sound like a good idea? Any tips/advices? Cheers, -Matt
