About this title

Synopsis

Building on the strengths of the first edition, this accessible and user-friendly textbook explores the strategies of comparative research in political science. It begins by examining different methods, then highlights some of the big issues in comparative politics using a wealth of topical examples before discussing the new challenges in the area. Thoroughly revised throughout with the addition of extensive new material, this edition is also supplemented by the availability online of the author's datasets.

The book is designed to make a complex subject easier and more accessible for students, and contains:

* briefing boxes explaining key concepts and ideas
* suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter
* a glossary of terms.
