Beginning with an introduction to the field of comparative
politics, this clear and complete text moves on to explore new,
innovative directions in the field. Leading scholar Howard J.
Wiarda explores its main approaches, including political
development, political culture, dependency theory, corporatism,
indigenous theories of change, state-society relations, rational
choice, and the new institutionalism. Wiarda addresses many hot
issues in the field: Can democracy and human rights be transplanted
from one culture to another? Is civil society exportable? What
works in the effort to develop the poorer nations and what doesn't?
Where are we headed with such frontier research issues as
comparative environmental policy, women's rights, and gay rights?
The book concludes with a stimulating discussion of whether the
great systems debates of the past (socialism vs. capitalism,
democracy vs. authoritarianism) are now over and points to some of
the next important study and research frontiers. Students,
professors, and general readers will all find Comparative Politics
current, provocative, and well written-a truly balanced overview.
