For the final assignment, please answer the following four essay questions.
Devote 2-3 pages to answering each question, and double-space, using Times New Roman 12-point font with standard one-inch margins. Insert page numbers on all graduate work.
It is important to demonstrate a working knowledge of the course materials that we have covered. Do not research at the expense of demonstrating your knowledge of the course readings.
All references should be cited in Chicago/Turabian format, which entails including page numbers. Be sure to make a clear thesis statement and argument and use examples to support your analysis.
Questions
1. Can democracies slide into authoritarianism while holding elections? What are some of the signs?
2. The essence of democracy is representation of the interests and demands of citizens on governments. The channels of their representation and the outcomes vary, however, depending on electoral systems, organizations of representation such as political parties, interest groups, and client-patronage networks, and the historical trajectory of these channels, including instances of transition to democracy. Given what you have learned in the course, under what conditions are elections most likely to result in the representation of citizens’ preferences?
3. What are the particular challenges to establishing democratic government in the post-communist world?
4. Cultural theories about the link between civil society and democracy have argued that a robust civil society generates social capital, trust, habits, and norms conducive to effective democratic collective action. In this way, in the words of Robert Putnam, civil society “makes democracy work.” But such theories were originally developed in the context of Western democracies. What are the challenges in applying these theories to non-Western, non-democratic countries? Under what conditions can a strong civil society weaken, rather than strengthen, democracy and democratization?

Hi, all.

Hi, all.
You were introduced to three prominent ideologies during your class sessions: liberalism, conservatism, and socialism. Through your classmates’ presentations and textbook readings, you’ve also been exposed to various other ideologies across a broad spectrum. Here is the question for your first weekly writing.
Now, imagine you’re responsible for shaping the ideological policies of a nation. Which ideologies would you utilize to tackle specific issues your society encounters? To respond, identify the problems your nation confronts (you can use a real-life example or suggest an imaginary state), articulate a vision for an improved society, and outline a strategy for achieving it.”
I dare you. It is a challenging assignment. It targets your creative thinking. Take it as an intellectual challenge. Do not aim for the correct answer because there is no right answer to this question, and do not try to guess what I am expecting from you. I want to see an original work that shows a product of your independent thinking. While writing, try to consult different sources ranging from the textbook (don’t disregard it) to YouTube videos, media, and blog posts on the internet. Find helpful information and discuss the assignment with your peers. You can also consult me if you have questions, and I will be happy to clarify your confusion. Ultimately, I want to receive your submissions and have a great time reading them. Be brave, and let your inner voice out.
Your second task included in the assignment is to ask two questions that could guide your further intellectual inquiry.
Read the Writing Assignments Grading Rubric on the course iLearn page to understand how you will be assessed. Submissions are checked for plagiarism and AI-generated content.
Submit in the form of ATTACHMENT. Indicate your name on top of your writing.
No right and wrong answers. 500-600 words. DO NOT FORGET TO ADD TWO QUESTIONS OF YOURS.
