Abstract

For courses in Introduction to Comparative Politics

Sets the standard for introducing the field of comparative politics

This text begins by laying out a proven analytical framework that is accessible for students new to the

field. The framework is then consistently implemented in twelve authoritative country cases, not only to introduce students to what politics and governments are like around the world but to also understand

the importance of their similarities and differences. Written by leading comparativists and area study

specialists, Comparative Politics Today helps to sort through the world’s complexity and to recognize

patterns that lead to genuine political insight.
