Comparative Process

For this assignment, you are  writing a paper examining and applying the comparative process described in the Dickovick and Easton textbooks and evaluating that process in light of the readings in the Martin textbook.

Specifically, assume for purposes of this assignment that you are preparing to begin a project in which you will test the following theory: That individual liberty is likely to lead to increased wealth in a body politic.  Drawing upon the specific content of Dickovick and Eastwoods discussion in Chapter 2 of Comparative Politics: Integrating Theories, Methods, and Cases draft a 57-page research paper or create a presentation that explains in detail the process (i.e., methodology) one might employ in evaluating this theory and how prevailing worldviews and the Judeo-Christian worldview in particular may impact the presumptions employed in testing this theory.  (Chapter 2 of the companion Dickovick and Eastwood reader and Chapter 2 of Martin are also assigned for Module 2.)
