Hi George,<br /><br />Here I copied it below. I thought it would fit just before the last paragraph in the paper. Please note that this is related to the paper you already submitted about Modernization, and not the one in-progress.&nbsp;<br /><br />
<p>Thank you!<br />Maya</p>

<p>The insight I selected in this paper I believe are relevant to the study of comparative politics in the 21<sup>st</sup> century, because their historical analysis reflects the evolution cycle these nations had to go through to create change. This change is either reflected by the type of regime these countries ended up with or political institutions and social capital achievements some of them reached. The unevenness and varieties associated with the transition to modernity and its residuals (like autocracy or dictatorship) in each country created new questions to be answered and it is an opportunity for comparativists to embrace by looking more deeply into each case to make more generalizable and inferential insights. All of the insights are in my opining to some degree relevant although some can be critiqued for their limitations and multi factors of whether economy or culture is the drive for modernity, nonetheless, this diversity is still reflect on today&rsquo;s world in which economy plays next to social structure.&nbsp;</p>
