Compare campaign Financing Reform (US vs. France).
Comparative Analysis Paper. This paper is a comparative analysis of domestic public policies. The goal is to identify a policy somewhere in the world that you think would be beneficial for the U.S. to adopt. Your paper needs to include the following, clearly distinct sections:
a) Explain the policy you identified in contrast to the U.S. AND the U.S. policy. This includes the respective goals of the two policies and a brief explanation of how well the policy works to support that goal. Avoid strawman arguments. Then, move on to explain why your chosen policy is better, in regard to both ends and means. (Dedicate around 30% of space to this section.)
b) Explain why your chosen policy is not already U.S. policy. Work on the assumption that there is a rational cause i.e. refrain from arguments that center on ignorance, stupidity, divine intervention, etc. Look into power and economic relations, as well as historical developments and ideology.

c) Work backwards to propose concrete steps in other policy fields or the political process that would make the adoption of your policy politically viable. This is the politics part of your paper and should take up about. (40%)
