The Oxford Handbook of Comparative Politics offers a critical
survey of the field of empirical political science through the
collection of a set of chapters written by 48 top scholars in the
discipline of comparative politics. Part I includes chapters
surveying the key research methodologies employed in comparative
politics (the comparative method; the use of history; the practice
and status of case-study research; the contributions of field
research) and assessing the possibility of constructing a science
of comparative politics. Parts II to IV examine the foundations of
political order: the origins of states and the extent to which they
relate to war and to economic development; the sources of
compliance or political obligation among citizens; democratic
transitions, the role of civic culture; authoritarianism;
revolutions; civil wars and contentious politics. Parts V and VI
explore the mobilization, representation and coordination of
political demands. Part V considers why parties emerge, the forms
they take and the ways in which voters choose parties. It then
includes chapters on collective action, social movements and
political participation. Part VI opens up with essays on the
mechanisms through which political demands are aggregated and
coordinated. This sets the agenda to the systematic exploration of
the workings and effects of particular institutions: electoral
systems, federalism, legislative-executive relationships, the
judiciary and bureaucracy. Finally, Part VII is organized around
the burgeoning literature on macropolitical economy of the last two
decades.
