How are the political systems of Brazil and Mexico similar or different to one another? What has been the response of each country to political and socio-economic challenges? Is Democracy stronger today in each country than it was when regime transition began? Discuss the executive and legislative branches in terms of selection and powers. Mention some political parties and important figures. Also briefly consider the federal systems in each, judicial systems are optional for discussion. Crime, poverty, public health, the environment, and the economy should be covered among challenges. Also review the role of a civil society in each area. You don’t have to provide an in-depth historical account but provide and analyze examples of the transition over the last two centuries towards democracy in both countries. Is the transition complete in either case? Any of the videos should help, but Petrobras and Amazon under Brazil should help the most.
