Synopsis

Cases and Concepts in Comparative Politics gets students out of the text and into the real world. Through its unique applied approach that introduces the concepts in the context of real situations, along with pedagogy that encourages students to practice exploring on their own the concepts in action in country case studies, students spend more time doing the work of comparative politics and less time reading about it. Now with InQuizitive, Norton\x27s adaptive learning tool, students have even more opportunities to put their knowledge to use, better preparing them to think critically about current events in their own country and those around the world.
