Work on research outline continues...

Well, I met my supervisors yesterday to disucss my draft research outline. There is still further work to do, but not as much as I thought. Mainly need to sort out the variables - the dependent variable is going to be perceptions of the effectiveness of EU democracy promotion now, to get around the problem of how to measure effectiveness itself. Also, for the independent variables I need to say how I am going to classify them. And the methods section needs rewriting... So, actually quite a lot to do over the next few weeks!
