This has been a real drudge, partly because it appears to be a fairly pedestrian exercise of ploughing through the set text and identifying the advantages and disadvantages of two examples using the competitive approach.
So to pull out some quotes and references for the definition of the comparative approach to politics, and the choose two examples and sprinkle with more references regarding functionalism and institutionalism, and inductive / deductive. I suppose the only part of it that allows you to add your own thoughts and personality is what you choose as advantages and disadvantages and why you feel this is so.
As I wrote previously, the bones of this are in Chapter 5 - it is the key.
The task tonight is to get about 1200 words down in a rough skeleton of an essay, and then to refine it tomorrow into something that reads properly.
This is a real wake up that I need to get further ahead in the next Chapter and quickly.

I very much agree with this! Grinding out the last half of TMA 02 now and it does seem to be a regurgitation exercise from the book. Having a few problems selecting examples. I think I'm going for electoral systems and gender representation.
