Introduction to Comparative Politics provides students with
carefully selected readings that familiarize them with substantive
issues and the methodological tools found within comparative
politics, a major subfield of political science. The readings
introduce students to philosophical and methodological traditions
used to explain political phenomena, as well as standard analyses
of power, authority, democracy, and authoritarianism. Students
learn how analytical methods can provide insight into diverging
patterns of domination and conflict within and between states.
Additional readings explore various sources of the growing conflict
and disorder within and between states and major challenges to the
future of states and their citizens. Each chapter includes
post-reading questions to stimulate critical thought, reflection,
and lively discussion. Introduction to Comparative Politics
provides students with a sampling of key themes and methods used to
uncover important insights regarding political issues. The text is
ideal for courses and programs in political science.
