Hello, I need a 3.5-4 pg double spaced essay on this topic. My country of choice is South Africa. NO Chat GPT or plagarism please:You are asked to do two things in your paper: one: answer the question, is your country a consolidated democracy or not? thismeans you need to look at and provide indicators/measures of its competitiveness, inclusiveness, and whether it has elections thatare both free and fair (go back to our definition of political democracy)◦ Second: once you provide evidence that it is A) on its way to becoming a democracy or b) was on its way but is now regressing or c)seems to have stagnated somewhere in between◦ I ask you in the second half of your paper to think about the causal factors that help explain your country’s success/failure atdemocracy, and I want you to address factors that relate to our three schools of thought. Are the most importantreasons/explanations for your country’s success/failure primarily economic, cultural or institutional? Pick one approach/theory toapply to your case (can’t do all 3 schools in four pages) and demonstrate you know how to apply the school of thought to theproblem of democracy in your country◦ Thesis: Your introductory paragraph should include a statement like the following: “Country x was a part of the third wave ofdemocratization in xxx year, and since then has (succeeded or failed) to consolidate into a full democracy. The primary reason it has(succeeded or failed) is due to its (economic, cultural or institutional choices)” Now I love murder mysteries (my favorite genre) but IDO NOT want to wait until last page of your paper to find out what your thesis is (keep in mind some countries were NOT part ofthird wave so tailor the sentence to the case, i.e. Tunisia, part of Arab Spring instead, later than 3rd wave)◦ You need to use at least 3 peer reviewed scholarly sources as we identified in the library session (use Journal of Democracy!)use library databases and click on peer reviewed or scholarly in the advanced search window◦ the citation preference for political science is posted in our assignments tab (American Political Science Association guidelines).◦ You can use news/journalistic sources such as NYTimes, Economist or BBC but in addition to scholarly sources that looked at originaltransition (again I recommend Journal of Democracy).◦ The final paper will be between 4-5 pages long
