This assignment is a take-home essay assignment of 2 questions, 2 pages each, to test knowledge and
assimilation of the course objectives. Using only the readings from Weeks 1-3, please answer the following
questions. Do not “research” the answer using outside sources. Focus on the lessons and readings from
our course.
1. EElleeccttiioonnss aannd Beeyyoonnd. Many of us would agree that there is no democracy without elections, and we would
probably add the stipulation that elections must be free and fair to count. After all, even authoritarian regimes pretend
to have elections of some kind. Most of us would also probably argue that there’s more to defining democracy than just
elections. Compare all the definitions of democracy provided in our sources and readings (Weeks 1-3). Using specific
examples of democracies or states transitioning to democracies, make a case for how we can tell when a country has
successfully transitioned into a democracy. What are the indicators of democracy beyond elections? Be sure to support
your answer with specific examples.
2. Geenndeerr. Is gender equality a requirement of democracy? Use the readings that address this topic to support your
answer.

Please present your work as a Word document (.doc, .docx), remembering to double-space and put your
name and a title on the paper. You should also put your name on the file, then upload it here in
Assignments no later than 11:55pm ET on Sunday, Week 3.
Important: Number the questions on your paper and write a topic/thesis sentence that indicates the
question you are answering. The thesis is worth 20 percent of your grade, so it’s important to present
your answer upfront, first paragraph.
Hint: A thesis is your unique answer to the question with specific reasons why – try using 3 reasons. That
way, your entire essay is 5 paragraphs – introduction, reasons 1, 2, and 3 fully-supported with evidence
from the readings, and a conclusion.
Papers presented with no indication of the questions’ being answered will be returned.
