* The paper must be data-driven. This means do relevant calculations that we will be<\/div>\n
covering in the second section of the course, such as volatility, the effective number of<\/div>\n
parties, and the least squares index. For some countries, these will not be appropriate<\/div>\n
calculations. If this is the case, you are expected to compensate with other forms of data,<\/div>\n
such as governance indicators, economic performance data, corruption indices, etc.<\/div>\n
* The total length should be 12-15 pages doubled-spaced of text, (but several of these<\/div>\n
will be calculations and tables). Most papers end up being longer, but limit it to18-20,<\/div>\n
max. Formatting is up to you. Chicago style references are preferred in footnotes. Include<\/div>\n
a works cited page (not counted in the limit).<\/div>\n
* Your paper should have three sections. 1. Introduction\u2014introduce your case, provide<\/div>\n
some salient (but concise) historical background, set up the challenge that you will<\/div>\n
discuss later. 2. Descriptive Analysis\u2014describe the political system and provide data and<\/div>\n
calculations. 3. Prescriptive Analysis\u2014identify a challenge or problem your case faces<\/div>\n
and provide your own prescription (preferably institutional). Think about using some data<\/div>\n
to document your challenge (like corruption levels, or income inequality). Also, you may<\/div>\n
briefly refer to another country as an example or model for reforms in your case.<\/div>\n
* References to data sources and course readings are expected, as well as some<\/div>\n
supplemental references. A couple of academic articles or book chapters on your country,<\/div>\n
on your country\u2019s challenge or on a conceptual issue (e.g., why electoral volatility<\/div>\n
matters, why corruption is not a good thing) will improve the final product.<\/div>\n

Below I am attaching a guide of a paper written last year with data from 2021, please do not copy it as this will just result in plagiarism strikes. This paper needs to be in reference to the election in 2022. Please just use the paper attached as a guide in terms of the style and formatting of the paper that it needs to mirror. Please also use it in terms of the concepts and content that needs to be discussed in my paper as well. For example, the paper must include calculations in the same fashion that the paper attached uses these calculations to defend their argument.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Please also try to use sources from Lijphart, ArendLijphart, Arend: or some sources from the previous paper. Aditionally, below I have attached some formulas on the calculations and some possible data source websites to use.<\/div>\n
