Sminar in Comparative Politics, political science homework help

Write thoughtful 500-word response papers on the attached readings

The papers should include the following:

• What is the author’s main argument?

• What are the key assumptions?

• Is the argument logically consistent?

Write most of your paper on the following points

• How are the selected readings connected? Find common elements in all the readings.

• What important elements of comparative politics are discussed in the readings?

• How do the readings fit into the course as a whole? (This is critical part of the paper, make sure you write enough to show as many connections and also emphasize the differences between the articles.)
