The question and instructions are provided in the text below. 1. Question Since its first parliamentary election in 2007, Bhutan has made significant progress toward democracy, and has been hailed as one of the few successful cases of democratization in the recent years. However, the pace of democratization has been slow and gradual, and the government’s inability to address serious political, social, and economic problems casts a shadow over its path to becoming a stable regime. Bhutan needs to implement a sweeping reform and to transform the country into a consolidated democracy. As a senior political advisor, you’re asked to come up with a blueprint of this comprehensive reform. In particular, you’re requested to find new ways to promote Bhutan’s social capital, a crucial factor for successful democratic consolidation. What kind of reform do you propose to the government, and why? Instruction: Regardless of the nature of your argument, discuss the following: (1) Ongoing political and socioeconomic problems. (2) New political institutions and policies to promote social capital. (3) The experience of other countries to support your answer. (4) Provide concrete evidence, specific examples, and numerical data to support your thesis. (5) You can assume that the reader is familiar with the country’s political history.
