In a ten page double spaced essay please reevaluate the Balgat essay through the analytical paradigm set out by Huntington. Your challenge is to reevaluate the various pieces of evidence or data in the story by using in a systematic fashion Huntington’s assumptions. In other words, here are the key questions you must use to frame your analysis: Does social mobilization (as defined by Deutsch) and political participation (especially the former) exceed political institutionalization (PI) as defined by Huntington: or is PI unfolding quickly enough to preempt to potentially destabilizing impact of social mobilization? If you read the evidence to suggest that PI is lagging behind social mobilization, then the next step in your analysis is to consider any evidence of violence, value conflict, political decay, praetorianism etc…since, this is precisely what Huntington’s model would predict. On the other hand, if you argue that PI is moving more quickly than social mobilization, then you would want to show that there are few signs of significant political, social or ideological conflict
