- I think a few words are to be said about the topic. The topic, as well as your dissertation title, should be interesting, since the title is the reflection of the topic. Choose something that really interests you and think of a particular aspect of it. For instance, you would like to write your dissertation on the Cold War. This phenomenon is very complicated and huge to conduct research on it. This is why you have to choose a certain problem. Let it be Caribbean Crisis.
