When are legislators inclined to cast votes in cooperation with
their parties, and when do they go their own way? When and why do
nations contend with each other, and when are they more likely to
cooperate? Thematically arranged around the interplay of contention
and cooperation, A Comparative Introduction to Political Science
encourages students to explore causal factors and consequences
related to political phenomena to become knowledgeable and
resourceful citizens of their nations and the world. Alan Smith
covers how patterns of contention and cooperation-and the resulting
government policies-may be affected by such factors as the
surrounding political framework, the distribution of influence, and
political motivation, including values as well as material
interests. To expose students to the politics of specific nations,
each chapter concludes with two country case studies that
illuminate the theme of the chapter. Students emerge with a sense
of what is going on in the world today. Pedagogically, the book
employs careful sequencing of topics and concepts for clarity and
to introduce politics in a natural, logical, synchronized way. At
times Smith goes beyond sharp, night-and-day terminological
distinctions to add accessible, ordinary language-based terminology
that better captures the real-world spectrum between the extremes.
