Read  the  entries  for  Regime  (Comparative  Politics)  and  Government. With the support of the entries and the lecture notes, as well as other sources that you will need to search on your  own,  classify  the following  countries according  to their  institutional  organization:Brazil,  China, Equatorial  Guinea,  France,  India,  Kenya,  the  Netherlands,  NewZealand,  Russia,  South  Africa,  United States of America, and Venezuela. *Justify your classification and reflect upon the cases that might have caused you to hesitate.

Please note that the discussion of majoritarian democracy or consensus democracy is not the priority of this assignment. Some countries involved in the prompt are actually not democracies, so it does not make sense to discuss whether they fall within the majoritarian model or the consensus model.

You DO NOT need to quote the lecture notes.
