Content Requirements of a Debate Piece

b) A contribution to an ongoing debate. For ongoing debates, see: http://turkishpolicy.com/debates

Style Requirements

Debate pieces must be original (no reprints) and in English – we strongly recommend non-native speakers have their articles edited by a native English speaker before submitting to TPQ – this will greatly increase the likelihood of the piece being published.

In your debate piece, briefly state the reason this particular article was chosen for review/analysis and briefly summarize the thesis of the article in question (3-4 sentences). The main body of the piece should be opinion-driven, focusing on counter-arguments to the author and offering a new angle to ongoing debates.

Submissions should be between 1,000 and 2,000 words.

Given that this is not a full-length article, please limit repetition of words and arguments. Lively, policy-oriented language and style are favored.

Format: The piece should be submitted in Times New Roman 12, justified.

Spelling: American spelling and punctuation should be used throughout.

Citations: Use endnotes, following the Chicago Manual of Style. Citations should be used sparingly given the word length requirements.

Submission: All blog submissions should be e-mailed as Microsoft Word attachments to editor@turkishpolicy.com  Your e-mail should be clearly marked with the subject “TPQ Debate Submission.” Please also attach a picture of yourself (larger than 1024x768 pixels) and include your current professional title along with your contribution.
