I'm writing a rather large essay for a geography class. I need help with a thesis as my topic is sort of vague as it is just about the global drug trade and proliferation. Looking to do something without available information such as the Mexico drug war, but can't come up with a good clear thesis. Any help would be appreciated.

More specifically, the topic is drug proliferation: production, trade and abuse, and the cntrol over an emerging global problem. If anyone could get me pointed at a certain area/drug to study some sort of guideline to a thesis.

to make a thesis, you need information, a background of the drug war topic

I'd suggest you do some preliminary research before writing out a thesis. that way you will have an idea of what you want to write and you won't have flop back and forth with the paper. point to remember, present an argument that you support, one that you can find facts and evidence to support.

to present an argument, you need a question, maybe write a question here for people to see? or ask yourself one, and place yourself in a spot to answer it. good luck~

most research papers can be done without any real guide. make one for yourself based on the topic, specifications you want to meet and such.
work on formatting later, focus on what you want to say about your topic, the effects, the causes, the debate, the future, or a combo. narrow it down and start researching.

about this research paper, how many words? And how focused do you have to be? any general guidelines that you have to abide by? These will narrow down or allow you to write more about the issue. For example, a 4000 word research paper may range from 14-16 pages depending on layout, words used, citations, etc.

About a thesis, that's your own idea. xD Ask yourself, why this topic? what important about it? what is the best approach to such an issue? :] introductions can take up an entire page or more depending on what you want to talk about. basically, the intro presents a general explanation of what you are trying to say, why you are saying it, and the importance of talking about it.

this is just some general info. you can find this online as well
here's another thread to look at

Looking to do something without available information

I'm not sure what you mean by this... looking to do something without the available info?

The way to come up with a thesis is the same as the way you come up with a good point in conversation. If you are talking with your family about global drug trade, someone might say, "When governments keep drugs illegal, it causes the black market to grow, and that has awful consequences." This could be a thesis statement. Another person might counter, "Drugs affect kids, so it is important fight against international drug trade even though it creates a black market."

This could be a thesis statement, too. Anything you might hear in an argument could be a thesis statement, but the best thesis statements are the ones that offer a new idea that the other people in the "conversation" (i.e. scholarly literature) have not yet thought of! :-)
