Comparative Politics Today is the text that defined the discipline of comparative politics and continues to set the standard for the course with a brand new Web site and the most current country study chapters available. The chapters on England, France, Germany, Russia, Mexico, Japan, and the United States have all been thoroughly updated.

The site's features include: country profiles, interactive maps, practice tests, news links, web links, and more. As in the previous edition, theoretical chapters (Chapters 1 - 7) at the beginning of the book explore the "purpose of government" and provide students with a framework for understanding comparative politics. The theoretical section is followed by 12 individual country studies. All country studies are written by pre-eminent specialists on that particular country, ensuring that students have the most reliable information and insights into the political systems of those nations.
