Instructions
Read “The Third Founding: The Rise of Multiracial Democracy and the Authoritarian Reaction Against It” by Steven Levitsky. What is the normative theoretical basis of multiracial democracy? Use the Module 4 readings (including Taylor, Kymlicka, Mouffe, and others) to explain what kinds of rights and obligations citizens can expect in such a political system. How can multiracial democracy resolve the tensions between liberal and communitarianism, and liberty and equality? What is the basis of multiracial coalitions against illiberal authoritarians who rely on racial exclusion to re-create a homogenous nation-state?
Your answer should be five pages, double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12-point font, with a works cited and parenthetical citations.
Use sources from the ones I have attached and from the Levitsky paper mentioned in directions. You are to use parenthetical citations; you can use quoted phrases with page numbers as well, if necessary.
Category: International affairs / relations
From the Syllabus: This assignment requires you to use themes from the readings and debate
critically the meaning, scope, and/or practices. Critique does not simply mean your opinion; it
must be well-reasoned and backed up by reconstructing the arguments and ideas from the
readings. You may be surprised by the readings, think they are interesting, or incredibly boring.
… In these shorter essays, you are expected to make a strong argument about a specific week’s
readings, and to support this argument with theoretical and empirical evidence. External
sources are not required for the short papers. Your sources for these papers are class
readings.

General Writing Handout
This handout is a general rubric for the shorter, three-page papers.
As a rubric, this means that if you do not follow the directions, then you lose points. Like, no
thesis, then you cannot receive an ‘A’ for the paper. Of course, you can also lose points if you
get things wrong. But the easiest way to lose points is to not follow these simple directions.
Things You MUST Include in Your Papers:
A thesis (what’s that? See the handout on thesis statements)
A header with your name, class, and date
Double spacing
At least one quotation or reference to a text in every paragraph except the introduction and
conclusion
1 inch margins
Multiple paragraphs throughout the paper, each roughly half the page in length
Thing You NEVER Include in Your Papers:
Outside soures
Quotations from dictionaries (webster, Oxford, whatever)
Quotations from lecture, PowerPoints
General words like “good,” “bad,” or “important”
A first paragraph that is the entire first page, or more
Title pages
Large quotations from sources that are not cited (this includes copying something from a
website, and that includes hyperlinks). This also counts as plagiarism, see university policies on
this matter
