Synopsis:

For freshman/sophomore-level courses in Comparative Politics, World Politics, as well as Introduction to Politics with a comparative focus.

An exceptionally clear, jargon-free writing style and an emphasis on political institutions and behavior―rather than on abstract conceptual frameworks―make this text consistently more accessible to introductory students than most other texts on comparative politics. It features both a cross-national approach―permitting students to develop a truly comparative understanding of the types of institutions (e.g., constitutions, executives, legislatures, political parties, etc.)―as well as a country-by-country approach that examines those institutions within the contexts of eight different countries―enabling students to see how all the “pieces” fit together.
