For new students of political science as well as those already familiar with the subject, this collection of readings attempts to define the core ideas of comparative politics and is divided into 11 sections: What is Comparative Politics?, The State, Nations and Society, Political Economy, Democratic Regimes, Nondemocratic Regimes, Political Violence, Advanced Democracies, Communism and Postcommunism, Less-Developed and Newly Industrializing Countries, and Globalization. Each section includes several essays, often excerpted from academic journals and presenting complimentary as well as opposing viewpoints. Heavily partitioned and including many charts and graphs, this book is laid out as a flexible, easy-to-use textbook appropriate for a variety of educational environments.
