Items related to Doing Comparative Politics: An Introduction to Approaches...
Rather than provide a survey of a group of countries, as in many other introductions to comparative politics, Lim (political science, California State U.) prefers to focus on the methodological and theoretical aspects of the field. He begins with a broad introduction to the basics in which he describes rationalist comparison, the structural tradition, and the cultural tradition, the three primary research traditions of the field. He then provides chapters in which he shows how each tradition approaches questions related to poverty, prosperity, democracy, terrorism and political violence, and social movements.

Review:
"Unlike most other introductory texts in comparative politics that focus on country cases, Lim's valuable book gives students the skills to become critical thinkers and to actually DO comparative politics themselves." - Claudio Holzner, University of Utah"
