Synopsis

With an accessible, descriptive approach and an easy-to-use, three-part structure within each chapter, this flexible comparative text offers students an affordable alternative. Rather than focusing on one perspective to the exclusion of others, Introduction to Comparative Government exposes students to multiple approaches. Instructors and students can choose the comparative approach that is most helpful to their understanding of the whole or parts of political systems. The text offers nine country-study chapters and two region-study chapters, which reflect the most recent election results, the war in Iraq, the expansion of the EU, and notable terrorist attacks.
