It now incorporates the two new countries that have appeared since the last edition - Kosovo and South Sudan - and covers the regime changes that have occurred in many countries, including the liberalization (but not yet actual democratization) of the Arab Spring. Extra material has also been added on demography and political economy, especially with regards to economic development, and on secession of regions."--pub. desc.

Product Description
This book provides a comprehensive and current assessment of the world s political systems. It does so primarily by outlining and contrasting the aspects of four different regime types liberal democracies, electoral democracies, semi-liberal autocracies, and closed autocracies and classifying all 192 countries within this typology. Empirical explanations answer the question of why countries tend to be in one regime type rather than another.
