Pleаse nоte thаt this questiоn cоnsists of three pаrts. Show all your work/explanation. Just giving the answer without adequate work/explanation may result in zero for the question. Fifty six percent of all Americans have a workplace retirement plan, 68% have health insurance, and 49% have both benefits. If we randomly select a worker: Are having these two benefits: Retirement and Insurance, mutually exclusive? Explain your answer. What is the probability that he/she has neither benefits? What is the probability that he/she has health insurance, if he/she has a retirement plan?
Answer twо (2 оnly) questiоns from this section. 1) Some studies hаve suggested thаt internаtional factors shape the prospects for democracy.Discuss and critique three different international explanations for democratization or lackthereof. Which of these international explanations do you find most compelling and why?What are some shortcomings of international explanations more generally? 2) Provide an overview of the relationship between economic globalization and domesticpolitics. First, discuss how domestic politics—including domestic institutions—shape andinfluence economic globalization. Second, discuss how economic globalization affect sdomestic politics, including election outcomes. Finally, given the complex relationshipbetween globalization and domestic politics, provide examples of research strategies thatcan be used to causally identify the impact of globalization on domestic politics, or theimpact of domestic politics on globalization. 3) What are informal institutions? As a concept, what distinguishes them from formalinstitutions, weak institutions, or culture? In your answer, identify and analyze at leasttwo examples from the literature in which informal institutions are effectively used toexplain political behavior, decisions, or outcomes. 4) The literature on the rise of niche parties in advanced democracies points to both supply-sideand demand-side factors to explain the phenomenon. After defining the niche partyconcept, discuss these supply and demand factors. Which, in your view, are the mostimportant in explaining the rise of niche parties, and why? Is the literature missing anyimportant explanations for the niche party rise?
