Review
This expanded and updated second edition of Comparing Political Regimes is an important contribution to the literature on how to study and teach comparative politics. Siaroff continues to bridge the gap between data-rich empirical and qualitative/typological approaches by encouraging students and professors alike to think about political phenomena in terms of significant variables. The clarity and precision of Siaroff's writing make this text an ideal teaching tool for studying the science of comparative politics.
(Csaba Nikolenyi, Concordia University)Alan Siaroff's Comparing Political Regimes is an original take on introducing comparative politics. Instead of the typical disparate mixture of themes and/or countries, Siaroff offers a unified, systematic and comprehensive analysis of regime dynamics and origins. His focus on political regimes allows him to address important topics like theories of democracy, regime change and consolidation, varieties of democracy and autocracy, and political institutions (such as party and electoral systems). The text is clear, thoughtful and well-written, and contains a wealth of data including many excellent original tables and figures.
