As ?must? reading for anyone interested in comparative politics,
this text is designed to address the theoretical developments and
approaches important to the comparative study of political systems
today. These include: developmentalism, dependency theory,
corporatism, state society relations, political economy, public
policy analysis, indigenous theories of change, rational choice,
and the new institutionalism. This text sees the new diversity of
approaches as healthy and invigorating. The diversity in
comparative politics over the past two decades has been reflected
in prior editions of this book. Whereas these separate approaches
once may have been regarded as fragmentary, now scholars have come
to regard the diverse lines of inquiry as lending complimentary
tools of analysis to our complex modern world. The emerging methods
of comparative study often provide ?causeways? between previous
?islands of theory.? In this new edition, all the main approaches
to comparative politics are represented in chapter length
treatment. Several contributors revisit the topics they addressed
in the prior editions, e.g. Tony Smith on dependency analysis,
Lawrence Graham on public policy, and Joel Migdal on state-society
relations. Most significantly, the third edition introduces readers
to new, provocative analyses such as Paul Adams on corporatism,
Anthony Gill on political economy; Ronald Inglehart on political
culture; Gerardo Munck on rational choice, A. H. Somjee on
indigenous theory, and Frank L. Wilson on the new institutionalism.
Introductory and concluding essays by editor Howard J. Wiarda
integrate the book, placing the different approaches in
perspective.
