    Get  to  understand  your  topic.  The  Study  Guides  will  give  you  a  general  idea  of  the  issue,  however,  you’ll  need  to  make  a  further  investigation.  Make  sure  you  can  answer  ALL  of  the  following  questions:  

• Background  of  the  topic.    o What  has  happened?  o When  did  it  happen/start?  o Why  is  it  happening?  o Who  is  involved?  (Countries,  public  figures,  organizations,  etc)  o Where  is  it  happening?  

• Past  Actions  o What  has  been  done  by  the  UN?  o What  countries  are  involved  in  the  solving  of  the  problem?  

Understand  the  position  of  YOUR  COUNTRY.  • Background  Information  

o How  is  the  problem  affecting  your  country?    o What  is  the  perspective  of  your  country  on  the  topic?  

• Past  Actions    o What  has  your  country  done  to  solve  the  problem?  o Are  there  any  Non  Governmental  Organizations  in  your  country  that  help  solve  

the  issue?  o Has  your  country  applied  Laws  to  solve  the  issue?  

• Allies  and  Other  Countries  o Who  are  the  allies  of  your  nation?  o What  agreements  has  your  country  done  with  other  nations?  With  which?  

• Basic  Facts  you  should  know  o Economic  status  of  your  country  o Type  of  Government  o International  Relations  o Location  of  your  country  (Who  are  your  neighbors?  Most  of  the  times,  

problems  come  from  nations  near  yours.    Ex:  Immigration)  o Governmental  &  non-­‐governmental  organizations.    

Be  sure  to  have  a  clear  understanding  of  your  country’s  position  on  each  of  the  topics.  If  your  delegation  isn’t  directly  involved  in  the  issue  or  hasn’t  established  a  concrete  position  you  may  deduce  how  your  nation  would  be  most  likely  to  act,  based  on  the  research  you’ve  made.

HOW  TO  RESEARCH    Researching  is  easy!  But  it  takes  time,  since  you’ll  need  to  have  a  complete  knowledge  of  the  topic,  as  well  as  your  country.  Check  out  some  tips  that  will  help  you  get  good  and  ample  information  easier.  

A  finder  can  always  be  useful  for  you  to  find  good  information.    • www.Google.com  • www.Yahoo.com  

(Remember,  you  should  NOT  write  the  whole  title  of  your  topic  in  the  search  bar,  only  write  KEY  WORDS)  

v Here  is  an  example  of  Research:  

� What  is  your  topic?  What’s  your  country?  

Example:  “The Promotion of gender equality in Governance and Leadership.” Our example country will be: Spain

� Start  your  Research.  

You  can  start  in  finders  or  directly  in  the  links  that  the  TJMUN  staff  has  given  you.  This  

time,  we  will  start  in  a  finder;  the  most  common  and  easy  one:  Google!  • Key  words  for  this  topic  can  be:    

o Gender  Equality  in  Spain    o Women  Governance  in  Spain  o Promotion  of  Women  as  leaders  o Women’s  Rights  in  Spain  

 • Afterwards,  chose  one  of  the  websites;  in  this  case  we’ll  use,  the  one  from  

www.wikigender.org,  remember  it  is  preferable  to  chose  reliable  sources  like:    o www.un.org  o www.cia.gov  o www.cnn.com  o www.bbc.com  

As  well  as  many  others  that  can  be  very  useful  to  do  your  research  and  to  get  reliable  information.

� You  enter  the  source  you  decided  to  look  in  and  READ  carefully  the  information  and  UNDERSTAND  what  is  written.    

 • If  you  already  read  the  document  and  you  think  it  is  important  information  that  

relates  to  the  topic,  you  should  print  it,  re-­‐read  it  and  highlight  the  most  important  points.  

• You  may  find  information  about  the  topic  that  is  not  about  your  country,  read  it  as  well  and  understand  it  because  then  you’ll  have  a  better  idea  of  what  other  countries  can  and  cannot  do.  

� After  these  steps,  you  may  repeat  them  with  other  websites.  Don’t  stop  when  you  think  you’ve  got  enough  information;  the  more,  the  better.  

• Remember  to  try  with  different  KEY  WORDS;  depending  on  the  key  words  you  use,  is  the  result  you’ll  have  and  those  different  results  will  lead  you  to  understand  your  topic  little  by  little.    

• If  you  know  what  your  topics  are  about  and  know  the  position  of  your  country,  your  position  paper  will  be  easier  to  write.      

 Don’t  limit  your  research!  MORE  IS  BETTER!  Just  make  sure  you  READ  and  UNDERSTAND  everything  you  find.  Organize  your  information  in  a  binder,  use  highlighters,  etc.  

       

THE  SKY  IS  THE  LIMIT!
