POLSCI 202 UMASS BOSTON Weakening Democracy Uganda & Iraq Relative to UK Essay

 

The essay should be 5-8 pages, double-spaced, with 12-point Times New Roman font and 1-inch margins. You have the freedom to choose the question you want to ask. You should apply the comparative methods you learn in this course and conduct a research on a topic covered in this course. The essay can be either a case study of any country that fits your research question, or a comparative study of any two to three countries that you want to compare. ·If you choose a case study, a case study serves the purpose of better understanding a theoretical concept or research question. The first step is to find your own question. You should then choose the relevant country to study according to your question. For instance, if you are interested in democratization and want to understand how and why countries become democratic, you should choose a country that has experienced democratization and study its process of regime change. If you are interested in monarchies and want to understand how monarchies rule in today’s world, you should choose a monarchy and research its power relations and political institutions. The essay should not be a broad general introduction of a country. A case study is NOT a country profile. If you choose to compare countries, you also need to find your own research question first, then pick the relevant two to three countries to compare. You will choose similar countries or different countries to compare, and you will apply comparative research design. For instance, if you want to study Arab Spring, and understand why it succeeded in one country but not another, then you will pick two countries that went through Arab Spring and in one of them the movement succeeded and the other one failed.
