POLS-1301-M50 Intro to Comparative Politics Spring Term 2025 This is a big week to think about Democracy and Democratization - in the words of Karl and Schmitter "What it is...and what it's not" (and we dive more into "what it's not" over the next few weeks). One of the key things we do in comparative politics is not only compare different units of governance (countries, regions, etc.) but we also compare variables OVER TIME. This is especially important when thinking about the processes of how countries democratize as well as "backslide" into authoritarianism or hybrid regimes. Most everything we look at -- Regime Types, Violence, Economies, etc. -- are all dynamic and evolve. So -- keeping in mind temporality and the O'Neil and Karl/Schmitter readings -- Based on the documentary, what makes Ghana (in 2008) a democracy? What does the film show us that "looks" democratic (or not)? Does "democracy" 15 years ago (or 30 years ago) look different than it does today? Keep in mind Karl and Schmitter wrote their piece in 1991, just as the USSR was collapsing and transitions to multi-party politics were occurring throughout Africa. "An African Election" covers the 2008 Ghana election, 16 years after its first multi-party competition. REMINDER To receive FULL CREDIT for each weekly discussion board, students must do the following: ??Read posts by other students ??Post 1 substantial response to the question (250-350 words) ??Post 2 substantial responses to other students (minimum of 150 words per response) ??Cite or refer to appropriate sources (authors/articles, etc.) to support points ??Cite any Al tools used NOTE: If no one in your group has posted yet and
I need you to edit the essay one pdf, make sure i dont leave a single stone un-turned in my analysis, make sure its pur critical thought and not much summarization and everything id explained well and insighfully. only use info inthe sources, read them and then check my paper for gaps. the locke and hobbes paper has two versions, one with AIs recommendations and one without, create one essay for that that has 0% AI while filling the gaps. that essay is missing a polished analysis does not fully cover all three of these concepts public consent, majority rule, and separation of powers in the depth outlined here. MAINTAIN my original voice and my nucanced perspective A+ papers go beyond answering the prompt by using example from life and other philophers. also create a better title. immlooking for an exceptional paper, use critical human thought only. prompt 1. Compare-in depth and detail-how Hobbes and Locke describe human nature and the state of nature. Do they prescribe forms of government consistent with their view of human nature. Resources For Hobbes From textbook Hobbes The Leviathan pp. 176-207 From Module Hobbes Lecture, Hobbes:Points To Ponder, More On Hobbes Participation Hobbes Resources For Locke From textbook Locke Second Treatise On Government pp. 213-243 From Module Locke Lecture, Lockean Highlights, Participation Locke adress gaps in this essay (according to AIs assessment): 1. PUBLIC CONSENT: What Your Essay Covers: You discuss Hobbes’ concept of one-time, irrevocable consent in the social contract and Locke’s ongoing, conditional consent. This is well-addressed in your essay. Gap: The analysis of how these differing views reflect their beliefs about human nature and the consequences for governance could be expanded. For example, tying Locke's trust in reason and accountability explicitly to his model of government would strengthen the comparison. 2. MAJORITY RULE: What Your Essay Covers: This concept is not directly addressed in your essay. You do not explicitly contrast Hobbes' rejection of majority rule with Locke’s embrace of it as essential to democratic decision-making. Gap: Adding a section on majority rule would clarify how Locke’s belief in equality and mutual respect leads to his support for majority rule, while Hobbes’ fear of instability drives his rejection of it. 3. SEPARATION OF POWERS: What Your Essay Covers: You touch on Hobbes’ preference for centralized authority but do not explicitly contrast this with Locke’s advocacy for the separation of powers. Gap: Including Locke’s views on dividing legislative and executive power to prevent tyranny would highlight his commitment to limiting authority and protecting individual rights. HOW TO ADDRESS THESE GAPS: Add a section explicitly comparing majority rule, emphasizing how Locke sees it as a practical expression of equality and consent, while Hobbes rejects it in favor of centralized power. Expand your discussion of separation of powers, contrasting Hobbes’ undivided authority with Locke’s checks and balances to safeguard liberty. Strengthen the public consent section by linking their views on consent more explicitly to their prescribed forms of government and underlying views of human nature

Research Proposal Part II: Literature Review For Part II, you are going to use the outline from Part I to write your introduction, also known as a literature review. Objective: To continue the process of writing a full-fledged APA style research paper and proposal. Instructions: The introduction is akin to the research papers that you are probably used to writing in your social science classes. It mostly involves summarizing the current state of the literature on the topic that you chose. Introductions do not necessarily review all of the literature that has ever been done on a topic, but they do explain the topic to your reader in a relatively comprehensive way. Here, I would like you to write a 5-7 paper that will ultimately serve as your introduction for your full-fledge research paper and proposal. Think of it as your first draft. Using your outline, I would like to see three major sections of your introduction: Introducing the Topic in Connection to the UNSDGs (1-2 pages): Explain the issue you are examining and why it is significant. In other words, why should people care about this issue? Also, explain how your issue connects to one or multiple of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Background/Review of the Literature (2-4 pages): A description of what is already known about this area and short discussion of why the background studies are not sufficient. You must review the 6 required sources in detail. As you summarize your sources, try to also synthesize the sources by putting them in conversation with each other. Rationale of Your Study (1-2 pages): Specify the research question you are examining and explain the importance of the topic. Explain how your proposal is filling the gap in literature that you discovered. Define your hypothesis. State your research question. Explain how your study builds on previous research and how it complements existing information. You need to indicate how your study is novel compared to previous works. If it duplicates an existing study, you should then explain what the purpose of the duplication is: are you checking the results, or perhaps testing a different population? State your hypothesis. Feel free to use anything that you wrote for your annotated bibliography or outline. Remember, this research proposal is considered one assignment so you are not plagiarizing yourself. Tasks: 1. Using one of the Lynn University Library Databases (i.e. Academic Search Ultimate, ProQuestion Central, etc.), find at least 3 more scholarly articles/books chapters that you will use to write your introduction and subsequent sections.. (Note: You are required to have at least 6 scholarly sources for this project). a. Feel free to use the document entitled, Reading Scientific Articles Download Reading Scientific Articlesto help you learn how to read scholarly articles efficiently. 2. Using your outline for guidance and your annotated bibliography for substance, write a 5-7 page introduction to your research proposal. Write an APA references page with all 6 sources in alphabetical order. Submit one document (which includes a title page, introduction, and references page) to Canvas.
