How are the political systems of Brazil and Mexico similar or different?

1.How are the political systems of Brazil and Mexico similar or different? What political and socio-economic challenges confront each country and what have been the responses of the state and of civil society? Compare and contrast their experiences in democratic transition.2.Describe the post-colonial experiences of Nigeria and South Africa in regards to democratization and maintaining a cohesive country. Review the political systems of both and the extent to which each have addressed corruption and economic inequality.3.Compare and contrast the current political and economic challenges confronting Iran, Turkey, and Egypt. To what extent have the historical and cultural experiences of each been similar? What do you think the future holds for democracy in each country?NOTESQ1: Discuss the executive and legislative branches in terms of selection and powers. Mention some political parties and important figures. Crime, poverty, and the economy should be covered. Also review the role of a civil society.You don’t have to provide an in-depth historical account but provide and analyze examples of the transition over the last two centuries towards democracy in both countries. Is the transition complete in either case? Any of the videos should help but Petrobras and Amazon under Brazil should help the most. Q2: Focus on the twentieth century but make some references to earlier events. What divides existed prior to and during colonialism and how have each country addressed these? Discuss the executive and legislative branches in terms of selection and powers. Mention some political parties and important figures. It is always a good idea to cite the relevant indices for economic growth, standard of living, corruption, and democracy but it is especially applicable here. TRC and Mandela videos should help. For Nigeria, reference Boko Haram. Q3: The emphasis in this essay should be on Iran, Turkey, and Egypt in that order. Consider secularization efforts in all three prior to the rise of the current regimes and how these regimes shape the religious/secular divide.You don’t have to discuss ancient cultures, focus on the twentieth century onwards. You have details in the text and in my notes on the selection and structure of the Iranian government but my notes should suffice for reviewing the political institutions in the other two cases. The 1979 Iran Revolution and Erdogan videos are the most helpful. Referencing the discussion board topic with this module is fine but not necessary.
