Description
Presenting the revised and updated theoretical chapters from the bestselling Comparative Politics Today, this text is a brief survey of the fundamental concepts students need to study government and politics.
Beginning with a discussion of the purpose of government and of the methods for comparing political systems, the text then examines system, process, and policy as well as essential themes in comparative politics, like democratization, identity and community, and economic and social development. Through the seminal theoretical framework created by Gabriel Almond and G. Bingham Powell and refined by Kaare Strøm and Russell Dalton, students will learn to make insightful comparisons no matter what countries they are studying.
Features
Seven thematic chapters based on Gabriel Almond’s groundbreaking scholarship introduce key issues and methodology in comparative politics as well as the systems, process, and policy framework to show how governments and politics in different countries can be systematically compared.Boxes throughout the text compare political systems, provide examples of important political leaders and events, and examine trends like globalization and fundamentalism.
Numerous maps, figures, and tables present important data on geography, population, and economics as well as clarify key concepts in politics and government.
Key terms, review questions, and suggested websites and readings at the end of each chapter offer an opportunity for critical thinking and further study.
