Synopsis
This collection of classic and contemporary essays focuses on political theory and its application. The author introduces students to comparative political research through a balance of theory and method, using specific examples from Europe, Latin America, Africa, and other areas as illustration. He equips students with the necessary analytical tools to understand politics in the countries he discusses, and gives them a theoretical framework to use when studying other countries.
