POLITICAL PARTIES RESEARCH PAPER

First, choose 2 political parties from Israel, 2 from Egypt, 2 from Iran, and 2 from either Turkey, Syria, or Saudi Arabia.

Write a research paper providing a detailed explanation and evaluation of each of the 8 political parties you chose in terms of their histories, defining ideologies, policy platforms, sources of political power, and importance to their nations and the larger Middle East. The text of this research paper must be 7-8 pages (not including title page, reference page, and any appendices). This paper must be in current Turabian format with 1-inch margins and in 12-pt Times New Roman font and must include a title page and reference page. You must include citations to a sufficient number of appropriate scholarly sources to fully support your assertions and conclusions (which will likely require more than the minimum number of citations).

Each paper must contain citations to a minimum of 6 sources not including the Bible.

Note: Write the name of the political partical party and the country as a heading and provide a detailed explanation and evaluation of the political party in terms of their histories, defining ideologies, policy platforms, sources of political power, and importance to their nations and the larger Middle East. Continue this patter until you have discussed all the 8 political parties of your choosing.

Note: Every research must begin with an introduction and ends with a conclusion.
