Essay Prompt 1
Comparativists have long debated how to measure state strength. How would you define a strong versus weak state, and what are some ways to measure state strength? Explain how you would collect data on state strength if you were to go “into the field” and determine whether a country has a strong state. Apply your ideas to at least two country cases. Finally, explore why this matters by commenting on whether you would want to live in a country with a strong or weak state. Present your ideas and argument in an essay of approximately 1,500 words. Cite course readings and outside sources as appropriate.
