DESCRIPTION
OF ASSIGNMENT:
For
this assignment, you are required to write a 1,500-2,000-word research paper written in essay format with s citations oagr in chicago formst,(about
6-8 pages) on abortion in Brazil and focus on the recent law equating late term abortions
to murder. Your paper will: 1) describe and provide background on the topic; 2)
link the topic to the broader issues of democratic governance/democratization
and/or economic development models; and 3) discuss the significance of the
topic for the broader Latin American region.
The
paper should be 1,500 to 2,000 words, not including title page and
bibliography. As mentioned above, your paper must provide/discuss the
following: A. Description of and background on the topic. A good way to
approach this is to think about how you would explain the topic to someone who
does not know anything about it. What would be important to include in your
discussion to provide this person with enough information to get a good
understanding of topic? Why is this topic important? What historical
events/developments that led to the emergence of this issue. What background
information is necessary for understanding the current issue? Again, think
about how you would explain the background to your topic to someone who knows
nothing about it. What pieces of information are essential? B. Link the topic
to the broader issues of democratic consolidation, governance, and/or economic
development models: In this course, we explored democratization, the challenge
of democratic governance in Latin America, and different economic development
models. Does your topic relate to democratization, governance, and/or economic
development? If so, discuss how. For example, what are the implications of the
topic of your paper for democracy and democratic governance? Are there any
implications for economic development? Does political or socioeconomic
inequality play a role in your study? Think about the different challenges and
opportunities for democracy we studied in this course, as well as the types of
economic development models (neoliberalism vs. state-centered models). You do
not have to address both democratization and economic development. You can
choose one or the other, but if you feel discussing both is helpful to your
paper, by all means do so. C. Significance of the topic for the broader Latin
American region: In this last part of the paper, explore the significance of
this topic and its potential outcomes for the Latin American region as a whole.
How could it affect the broader politics of the region? How and why is the
topic significant? If it isn’t significant, why? GRADING You will be graded on
how well you address these elements/questions in your paper. Be sure that you
cover them all. Be succinct in your writing and get straight to the point.
Organize your paper well and write clearly. Papers that receive high grades
will have met all these guidelines, moved beyond them, and clearly demonstrate
critical analysis • Stay within the assigned word count. •. • Use sub-headings
to organize your paper. • Include a bibliography with consistently and

as a source for your paper, but it cannot be one of the five required sources
described above. In other words, it becomes a sixth source.
