Describe and explain its political system and other relevant issues such as the political culture, the freedom of political communication, and any other aspects that may be relevant to your particular case.

Write a case study that explains the current political system of an existing state of your choice, apart from the UK or the USA. Also, if you did a case study for SS30365W Introduction to Politics last year, you must choose a different state for your case study for this module. Your case study should have three parts:

  1. Describe and explain the historical, ideological, and regional context that led to the establishment of that system, for instance, how it was affected by waves of democracy, its colonial and post-colonial history, how it was affected by the end of the cold war or the Arab Spring, and so on.
  2. Describe and explain its political system and other relevant issues such as the political culture, the freedom of political communication, and any other aspects that may be relevant to your particular case.
  3. Conclude with a qualified judgment of the suitability of the system and its medium-term prospects in a way that is supported by your overall case study.
