Pick a case study of a post-colonial country. Using Freedom House, evaluate its democratization progress or lack thereof. Discuss the main cause(s) of this.
No, no, you've got an out. The last sentence is ambiguous. It could refer to how democratic the state is, or it could refer to the freedom houses methodology.
"This state has a democratization progress of 56 because Freedom House is funded by murderous Neoliberal reactionary scum"
One of the things about this place that makes me genuinely proud is the quality and ubiquity of communist rules-lawyering in response to bad faith neoliberal drivel. They don't mind mass death, but point out their charts suck and they go wild.
Exactly. All she has to do is evaluate why a country has or has not not scored highly on the Freedom House definitions of democratisation.
Good opportunity to go through the criteria and assess why scoring highly in those metrics might not be advantageous for a nation’s development or autonomy. Especially when the criteria amount to ‘preservation of control over one’s own media and markets’.
Do South Africa but immediately shit on Thabo Mbeki for being a neoliberal austerity politics Oxford educated fool responsible for shit like rolling electricity blackouts because he skimped on maintenance to make line go up, and also denied the existence of AIDS. Laid groundwork for Zuma corruption. Use this to illustrate the bullshit that is the freedom index. Like are people living in shacks and 30% unemployment really "free"?. I don't feel very free. Would much rather live in Cuba.
You could pick a country with a high score and take it apart. Like "ah yes freedom house is right that this state is democratic, as we can see with Brazil's us backed torture regime"

They might shoot us all but we're not going to let the bastards win on points.
Cuba is technically post colonial :sicko-wholesome:
Proceeds to submit transcripts of blowback s2
Very true, deboonk their entire shitty freedumbz map by going over how their electoral system is fairer and more transparent than the US's

I notice they don't say your analysis has to agree with the graph, you could easily write about the horrible history of say, free smol bean Taiwan
The foundation for freedom™ was laid when the Guomindang, with US support, democratically massacred the opposition on the island
