From Instability to Sustainability to changed, challenged: A Comparative Government Study of Democratic Transitions in Latin America and South Asia countries like Bangladesh Over the Last Century to the Present
In simple Research Topic Proposal:
This study should examine how different political systems in Latin America and South Asia (Focusing on Bangladesh) impact the development of democracy, focusing on political stability, authoritarianism, and neoliberalism. It will explore factors influencing the success or failure of democracies and how these regions can sustain stable governance and often unstable government. This research compares how countries in Latin America and South Asia build strong democracies, looking at challenges like corruption and government collapse, to find what keeps their governments stable. Through a comparative lens, the study will assess how countries can maintain stable democracies while facing challenges like corruption, political uprisings, and regime changes.

Research Scope
– Start by reading existing scholarly articles and books on your topic. Look for gaps in the research, controversies, and theoretical debates.
– Develop a clear and concise thesis statement that answers your research question and serves as the main argument of your paper.
– Present your arguments and evidence, using empirical data, case studies, or theoretical frameworks.
– Describe the methods you’ll use (case study, qualitative or quantitative analysis, comparative analysis, etc.).
