Comparative Government and Politics

This assignment is based on the material covered in Chapters 1 and 2 of Introduction to Comparative Government and Politics and class meetings related to the topics of Introduction to Comparative Politics and the Scientific Study of Politics. It requires the use of reliable and reputable sources of empirical information about countries and other political entities of the world: The World Factbook Links to an external site.and CountryWatch (available via the Los Rios Libraries Research Databases Links to an external site.). Options of entities to analyze (CHOOSE ONE): Barbados Brazil China.

Comparative Government and Politics

Prepare and submit a written essay of approximately 500 words that answers the question “Is [your selected entity from the list above] a country?” Your essay should demonstrate your understanding of the four factors (criteria) that differentiate a country from other entities such as dependent territories, international organizations, or multinational corporations, your ability to gather and use observable information from existing datasets, and reflect your ability to develop and communicate an informed argument (use the Developing an Informed Argument Links to an external site.template as a guide).

Comparative Government and Politics

Include a thesis statement in the introductory paragraph that directly and explicitly answers the question. The thesis should identify the name of the entity under consideration and your final determination of whether it should or should not be considered a country. Briefly describe the entity with respect to at least two specific indicators of each of the four factors (or criteria). Explain your reasons for your conclusion, based on our analysis of the empirical evidence (from the sources provided) compared to the criteria.

What To Do (the process).Review the four factors (criteria) – territory, population (people, society), government, economy – and possible observable indicators for each (from your notes). Consider and decide which indicators you will use for each factor. There is no single correct answer. But each indicator must be something that can be observed (empirical), measured, and comparable across entities. The indicators should also be information that is available in the required sources. (See M03 Explore – Where can I learn more about countries of the world?)

Use the sources provided to gather the information that will be evidence of the value of each indicator. Hint: It is a good idea to read about the methods and sources used by both sources to include or not include particular entities. You may or may not agree, but it is important to understand how or why. https://youtu.be/oAAtwSXrQgI
