Reviews for Comparative Government and Politics

This is a truly wonderful introduction to Comparative Politics. Not only does it cover a comprehensive range of complex topics in a very approachable and accessible way but, better still, it is full of examples from all regions of the world. I wish I had had this book when I was an undergraduate student. * Raul Gomez, University of Liverpool, UK * Comprehensive and clearly-written, this text provides a solid grounding in the comparative method complemented by timely real-world examples of the ways in which comparative politics can be applied, thereby helping students to make sense of complex and confusing events in the world today. * Jennifer White, University of Georgia, USA * This new edition to a classic of the discipline provides fresh new context for how the key theories of comparative politics still matter for understanding the world around us. The wealth of evidence included will inspire students to research topics of their own interest and the narrative offers a great one-stop shop for instructors looking to efficiently deliver their course. * William Daniel, University of Nottingham, UK *
