1. It would be most efficient for me to start with an article I've already analyzed, so I will use "Genocide as a Crime Under International Law". This article is highly objective with the purpose of informing the reader about a past legal case. I'm going to call this one "History Lesson". The next article I found that I liked was called "The Legitimacy of International Governance: A Coming Challenge for International Environmental Law?" This article is far longer and shows multiple points of view about a current issue, so I'll call this one "Debate". And finally, I decided to use 'Jeremy Bentham and the Fashioning of "International Law"'. This is an article of medium length which sounds like it might be a history lesson, but it's different. It's a discussion of how something came to be by looking back at the legacy of a certain figure in the field. For these reasons I'll call it "Reflection".
2. I answered most of this portion in number one, but here I'll reiterate in a way that is more pleasing to read. To sum up, we have three genres:
- History Lesson
- Highly objective
- Purpose to inform
- Subject matter has long been resolved
- Debate
- Very long
- Multiple points of view
- Subject matter is very current
- Reflection
- Medium length
- Discussion
- Looks at past and future through legacy
3. Again, I answered most of these questions in numbers 1 and 2, but I did not specify a target audience so here I will speculate that.
- History Lesson
- Students
- Those who need to cite sources for a paper
- Debate
- Someone with a genuine interest
- Someone who needs to come up with an informed opinion of their own
- Reflection
- Someone with interest in past v future
- Someone who might need to make a decision about the future of a field (CEO, exec, etc)
As a final note, this post was a tad shifted from the questions, but all the information is there and I believe I've gotten my points across.
