Family, Nation-State, and Empire: Consent in the United Nations, 1957-1964
Sorry for the horrendous font. It's required. Grant application for this summer! I would really, really appreciate any kind folks who give me feedback on this.
TO READ: Plz hit the download button on the right. Sry about that, but it's got footnotes and they're important!

Honestly, I think your "core question" needs to come first.
Since this is an appeal for a grant, I personally would want to know what you are trying to do more than the back story. While I understand the history gives context to the question, knowing the question also gives meaning to the importance of the history.
My suggestion would be to introduce with what you are trying to achieve, than provide the history and context. If I'm reading this, and I'm an important person, I don't care what already happened when awarding this grant, I care about what you are trying to do.
Unlike most academic papers, in this place you got to start with what's most important, and end with what's least (similar to media or business writing) because you never know when people are just reading the first paragraph to get an idea for things - these are important people with valuable time! make it as easy as possible for them to find the information they need to make a decision.
You're the best, Azi, good luck!
(p.s. feel free to ignore all of this keeping in mind that I come from a business strategy and media writing background.)
