Hi Maya:<br /><br />Here's your edited document. You did a good job yourself, which made mine much easier.<br /> <br />I would just read the document straight through for your presentation. It is of course fairly technical, so you might need some notes in the margin, but overall it is a clear summary of the topic.<br /><br />I would, however, give some thought to the discussion question. I doubt if your instructor will let you off without an answer, so I would have one ready. It's a good question, involving public opinion and theoretical analysis, and one which every&nbsp;political scientist should wrestle with. I believe that is Collier's point: that political analysis is rooted in the real world. It sounds almost like the theoretical side of "realpolitik" which, as you know, is politics or diplomacy based primarily on considerations of given circumstances and factors, rather than explicit ideological notions or moral or ethical premises.<br /><br />Good luck with your presentation - George
