Reviews

This is an exceptional textbook. It treats the field of comparative politics very effectively, its broad coverage puts the entire world within reach of students, and it innovates at many points by offering fresh and revealing ways to consider the issues at stake. - Bruce Morrison, Assistant Professor of Political Science, Western University This is an extremely sophisticated and very insightful textbook on comparative politics. Its clear writing, underpinned by sustained analytic thinking, makes this book a top choice for introductory undergraduate courses. The book notably includes many useful tables and classifications of 195 countries in the world that will also be of much value to advanced researchers. Highly recommended. - Erik Martinez Kuhonta, Director of the Institute for the Study of International Development and Associate Professor of Political Science, McGill University
