Esay Assignment: Comparing Political Authorities
In this paper you will choose two of our case countries (U.K., Germany, Russia, China, Nigeria, Iran, Brazil). Using the horizontal distribution of authority, compare the countries' political systems. How separated or concentrated is authority distributed? What kind of system is it (presidential or parliamentary)? What kind of party system is there? Once you have presented the general facts regarding your cases, you will choose a specific aspect of the political system and compare the two countries. Do you believe each country has a distribution of authority which makes sense for that country? Why or why not? What are the process values in your cases like, can most citizens play an active role in politics or is the political realm controlled by elites?

- How do the political arrangements in your countries contribute or detract from the level of democracy?
- What specific criteria have you chosen to compare the countries? Why?
- Are your cases presidential or parliamentary? What kinds of party systems do they have?
- Given the distribution of authority in these countries, what is the impact on citizens? How are citizens able to impact the political process?
