Comparative Politics introduces you to political institutions, identities, and interests, and shows you how to perform authentic comparative analysis. Using a question-based format, author David Samuels helps you learn how to formulate your own political arguments and to thus become a more informed and engaged political participant. The author's thematic, question-driven approach to comparative politics fosters learning and doing.
The Updated 2nd Edition has been thoroughly revised with fresh material that reflects recent developments. Topics receiving fresh coverage include electoral institutions, nationalism, the political consequences of globalization and the future of regime change.
